Lemme know if you need any organizational help since I'll be there (and not spur of the moment like last year).. otherwise ya, I think a tipjar would be a good idea, I'd pitch in since I know how far you have to haul The Machine, and if nothing else, I want to help make sure you keep coming back to ...

'Rage' was a game being worked on by iD (makers of the Doom and Quake series led by game-dev John Carmack).. but it turns out Bethesda's parent company (Zenimax, which has a scary list of people on it's Board of Directors btw) bought iD last year; as such, I believe they passed RAGE on towards Bethe...

Re: sweater.. it's all cotton, it was originally a light grayish, gave it a light bleach wash to lighten it, then tried va...

Some promised photos of what i've got so far.. as I said before, finding some of the parts in the SE USA is proving a bit tough.. but I can upgrade as I come across them. So alot of the emblems will be inaccurate. Hat and Glasses.. side emblems way wrong, and the fur should be darker.. but you gotta...

The pokey-out-bit at the bottom looks like a standard gieger counter detachable probe.. (they look alot like pencil microphones). The gauge/display could either be from an actual Geiger/civil-defense meter or even just a standard VU meter from anything.. cheap substitute might be an old multi-meter....

Traditional Roman style was horse hair, with glue to keep it up (I image it's the same tbh as proper Max style).. you can also probably use synthetic hair from your local beauty store if you can't find actual horse hair.
