Lex Levels Up: Building a Post Apocalyptic Cosplay (Part 2)
The journey to Wasteland Weekend continues! In the second episode of Lex Levels Up, we shift from planning to action. Last time, Lex worked with an expert to figure out what the perfect post-apocalyptic costume might be, and scoured the shops for the materials to bring it to life. Now, it’s time to get hands-on.
In this episode, Lex learns the art of sewing (with some surprising results) and starts building the foundation of the costume. From stitching rugged fabrics to changing the fit and design and some soldering LEDs into a badass wasteland helmet, the wasteland look is finally starting to take shape. Expect plenty of laughs, a few rookie mistakes, and a lot of creative problem-solving as the costume begins to come alive.
Stay tuned for part three, where the finishing touches will bring the apocalypse to life. Wasteland, here we come!

In this 4 part series, two knuckleheads (Leif Gantvoort and Brett Sheridan) set out to build a War Rig for Wasteland Weekend (the post apocalyptic Mad Max themed event that takes place in the Mojave Desert). They have less than 3 weeks to build the car in South Dakota, get it back to California, and to the Wasteland car show.
