Last year I started a Doctor Malfatto Costplay but never did finish it. This year I set out to finish it up for Rose City Comic Con - Portland but ended up remaking most of it lol.

Check out my post from last year to see how I made the mask and where I started off from this year in more detail. http://www.therpf.com/f24/my-first-cosplay-malfatto-assassins-creed-doctor-195271

First here is last years and my primary reference:




Items I've redone for this year so far:

Aged my mask (before | after):



Re-did the hood, used a nicer heavier material for the outside and lined the inside (before | after):



Re-did the jacket, again used a much nicer heavier material and fitted it to my body (before | after):



Re-did the chest armor, lots of changes here (before | after):



Lastly I made the belt:



Here's a shot of me wearing it with the updated pieces:



Items left to do:

Make the bags for the belt
Make the hat
Make the gloves
Make the syringe
Make poison pods for the belt
Make the arm bands
Make the straps for the sides
Embroidery the medical symbol on the chest
Paint medical symbol on the bicep armor
Possibly re-do the shoulder armor time permitting

Wearing this thing turns out to be the equivalent of wearing an oven so I am thinking I might sew some pockets inside of it that I can put some ice packs into however I'm worried about how long they will last and if the condensation would cause wet spots to show. Does anyone else have ideas on ways to keep cool while wearing a heavy costume?

Got the belt and accessories finshed up tonight. I might redo the smaller pouch if I have time before the con, not super thrilled with it.

Progress has been slow, had some failures and had to redo some pieces but I'm finally back to getting some stuff done Seems that the little details are the most time consuming.

Added some red beads to the sleeves for accenting



Finished making the arm bands, I have to sew them into bands and bleach the black smudges but they turned out really well!



I've also reworked the white pieces of fabric on my hips, redid the straps and mounting for the shoulder armor and made the straps for my sides but I didn't bother with pics for those. I'll be test fitting the whole costume so far tomorrow and posting some pics so stay turned!

Took three tries to get the arm bands to fit correctly, but they turned out really good and don't restrict my movement much at all

Okay test fitted everything I have done so far and it's looking pretty good. I'm impressed with myself for this being my first costume and having made everything from scratch Feels good to finally be getting close to the finish line.

Left to do:
Finish painting bicep armor
Hat
Gloves
Syringe
Mount poison pods
Embroidery chest and back
Redo small bag
Redo shoulder armor (maybe)

Made a test batch of my "Poison". The color looks awesome!

Poison vial with and without flash. Really liking how this color turned out!






On a less awesome note, The paint for the bicep armor turned out horrible again... I'm going to have to find a thicker paint that won't run so much.

It's a shame that more people aren't interested in this character, but oh well I've always liked him so I'll keep posting the progress

Hasn't been a ton of progress latey due to some set backs but I got the front and back out for embroidery work and I finished the hat and bicep armor pieces!

Here's the hat (Although after testing it with the hood it's just too small, or at least the hood is too big so I'm going to have to reduce the size of the hood):




The bicep armor turned out to be way more work than I had planned as I ended up having to hand paint the medical symbol onto the bicep armor pieces to get it to come out right, but I finally got them done.



Once I get the embroidery work back I'll post some more pictures of the whole costume on me. I'll be doing the gloves or syringe this week hopefully time permitting.

Finished redoing the shoulder armor pieces from last years, took a lot more work than I planned but it was so worth it. This is a photo heavy post but maybe that'll get people to actually comment on my thread XD


This is where I started off from last years build:


Sanded it down to smooth it out some:


Hit it with a couple coats of primer to fill in the pits:


Sanded it down to smooth it out:


Hit it with a base coat of silver paint, it was still really badly pitted though:


Went over it with some bondo and yet more sanding:


Hit it with primer again and more sanding:


Painted it with another silver base coat, pitting is much better:





Painted it with the black coat


pitting is pretty much gone now:


Added the clear coat


Finished with some aging although you can't see it well in the photos:

Looks pretty good! But I would recommend heavily distressing the at the very least the cloth bits, to give it the added realism it deserves.

Finally got the right glove done. I accidently cut it a bit short but it's okay. This thing took a crazy long time to sew since I had to do it by hand but it came out pretty awesome I think,

I lost track of time and the con is next weekend! Now I'm stressing about getting this done, lots left to do!

Getting closer, pulled an all nighter last night and finished the left glove and got the syringe being prepped for paint!


Creeping in the shadows behind my friend



pretend murdering my friend


Finished the both gloves


Materials to make a syring (I think), This is my first prop so making it up as I go.
















I discovered that the key rings I planned to use were too big, so I bought a 1/2 inch pvc fitting to make some new rings from.


Actually think these came out better than the key rings ever would have anyways.
