Hello, This is my first build on the forums, although not my first costume. My aim is to complete this by Montreal Comic Con, July 7th.
It's been hard to get a good look at the costume with all those layers. I would appreciate any feed back on any details I've over looked. I did a technical vector drawing to try to make sense of the layers.
To me it looks like there are 8 hanging panels of fabric from the waistline and two pairs of "scarf" shaped fabric attached from the back of the collar. It's not too noticeable but there are two back cords that are covered in yellow fabric in the middle that wrap around the back of the hood to the waistline. The sash from the front that is tucked into the belt appears to be an extension of the hood that is dyed.
As for the sling ring I've originally planning to get it casted and trimmed by a company such as shape ways but I've been quoted $900 USD for brass and $300 USD for gold coloured steel. I figure it would be vastly cheaper if I bought a bigger ringless ring former and crucible and bought brass myself or machined and trimmed it myself. I could only find 2 photos one form a more still and another from a photo of the SDCC costume display. I haven't modelled all the details yet although I might as well do a wax up by hand if I'm going to cast it myself. The largest ring former I found that is marketed for the machine I have access to (a Centrifugal broken arm casting machine) is 2 inches in diameter I might have to cast the ring in two parts and solder them together.
Thanks for your time.
