A group of friends and I decided we wanted to make costumes for the Midnight Premiere of the Hobbit. There will be 4 of us and we have decided to go as Saruman, Radagast, Galadriel, and Gandalf The Grey. I am new to these forums but decided this was a good place to post pictures, talk about ideas and hopefully get some advice.
I plan on posting picture of the costumes as I go, but for now I am just opening up this form with my basic ideas and what I already have.
I will be going as Saurman because he is one of my favorite characters and I am a fan of Christopher Lee. My costume for him has been heavily influenced by another forum i found on this website. I liked the design on that from and figured it was fairly easy to recreate. I have a wig and beard i plan on wearing(I will post pictures latter most of these things are not at my house now), but would really like to find a better set because they aren't the greatest. If anyone knows a place to get a good beard for Saruman online i am all ears. I have searched heavily on ebay already. I also have his staff, but it isn't the official one because i don't have the money for that. It looks nice and i was pleased with the price. I also plan of getting a palantir look-a-like stone or crystal ball somewhere.
Gandalf and Radagast's costume will start off as simple robe made in the correct fashion. Gandalf will have a simple belt and we are using some sort of rope for Radagast's. I already have got beards for both of them that i am very pleased with. Gandalf's staff is made of a nice old wood staff a friend got for me at an antique shop and i have ordered a nice quartz to put on top. I would have gotten his official staff but it is to expensive. Radagast's staff will be inspired from the few pictures i have seen from the movie. It will have a greenish orbit set in a it which is on its way in the mail. Gandalfs accessories will include a pipe, bag, narya ring, and his hat. I need some ideas for Radagast's accessories. I am going to attempt to make a hat similar to his in the movie and get a herb bag for him to. I have no other ideas for things for him and willing to listen to others.
I have not much to say about Galadriel's. The group of us are making a white dress based on hers from the movie. She will have Nenya her ring and i will get a fancy looking glass bottle for the Phial of Galadriel again because it is too expensive . I am also looking into find a crown that look something like hers in the movie.
That is all i have to say for now, but will have pictures of the costumes soon because we plan on making them in a week. As i finish the staffs and get the various parts i will post them too. Right now i would like advice on a good Saruman beard and ideas for Radagast costume. Hope they all arrive soon.
