I'll have to go tomorrow at 9am. I'm still trying to decide how many I will need.
Narayas says "As for the amount of tiles, estimates for my suit came to a total of 16 tiles, including 2 or 3 Oops-I-messed-up-tiles. This all depends on your body build of course, but 16 tiles will be plenty to complete a suit."
I'm going to probably to get around 20 (so I have LOTS of "oops-I-messed-up-tiles). :P That'll run me about 500dkk which is roughly 86 dollars (but then throwing in the cost of living) it equals out to about 43 dollars. I'm sure that's WAY more than in the states but hey, gotta do what you gotta do. :P
I'm also starting to buy up all the tools I will need. Today we got a dremel tool and tomorrow it's a glue gun and some hobby knives (hopefully one that heats up since I've heard that works really well). We don't have many tools and the ones that we do have are cheap but that's what you get when you are broke and in school. :P (Correction: except for our heat gun, says my husband. Sweet, since I'm going to be using that one a lot.)
About the codexes... no I'm still not done. I'm procrastinating because I don't like measuring stuff because I always feel like I have to check them at least 3 times to make sure I did it right and then I'm still worried. I just need to buckle down and do it. After I've put them all on 1 square meter PDF's I'm going to go down to HvidGrafisk (a print company like Kinko's) and have it all printed off there. I will save a lot of ink and paper and I won't have to worry about fitting it all in A4 paper sizes... (that's not going to happen).
(When I am done resizing I am going to rearrange everything so the pieces all fit nice and snug.) :P
So I'm off to go get those stinkin' measurements. Wish me luck!
P.S. As soon as we give away our piano, we're going to get a worktable! I'm so excited to not have to do all this on my bed or on the coffee table!
