Retiring Finnish
12 years ago
While I will be at Anthrocon, I'm sorry to say that Finnish v3.999 (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5867166/) will not be coming with me.
He was constructed in the summer of 2007, and despite his retrofit in early 2010, his six (holy crap) years of age are catching up to him. Not only is his design hopelessly out of date, but the jaw is breaking down, and the eyes are almost dissolving. It was a good run, but at this point, even putting the head on is challenging and wearing it is uncomfortable.
Six years is respectable for a fursuit. He was the third suit I made and I'll miss him, but Anjin should continue to serve well, and I've got plenty of other costumes to keep me busy at cons.

I still remember first seeing you at very first FA: United when we didn't know each other, it really was a good run and I will surely miss him lots I like your otter too, can't wait to see him again next week!

hehe, all good things have to come to an end unfortunately. But look at it this way, it helped pave the way on how you design fursuits since you first began with the new materials.

OP
Given that 3.999999=4, I don't think there will be a 4.0
