The Definitive Peter Quill/Star-Lord Costume Thread

I'm getting close to crunch time on my jacket and have to make a decision regarding the snaps within the next week or so. Has any progress been made? There was talk about someone having found something close earlier.
I have to say... I've made entire business suits before and so far this jacket has been fairly challenging pattern-wise.

Hi All,
I've been lurking in this thread for awhile, and just want to say thanks very much for all the information here. I pulled the trigger on the trading.plus jacket from eBay, and am in love with it. It's not quite screen accurate, but it's genuine leather and a great piece of clothing that I'll wear in real life too. Also pictured is a WIP of my foam mask from Helgak's file. Thanks again, you guys are great.

Testing the sleeve pattern in fabric before digging into the expensive leather...
Almost there...

I'm just about finished with my blaster pads for the pants. I used pigskin leather with a sturdy cloth backing (the label said suit cloth). The pads inside are cut from foam material that's used to make wet suits. I thought it was going to be too thin, but it's fairly perfect. I spray adhesive on the back of the leather and pressed the foam pads on it. I then sprayed more adhesive and pressed the cloth backing on it. I also used a flat tool to press against the edges of the foam. I glued piping around the edges and folded the leather around to the back. I still need to sew around the piped edge and around each foam piece, to give it more definition. I'm going to attach them to the pants with velcro. The pictures don't due it justice (the color is a nice chocolate brown), but it looks awesome in person!
Behold, the Power Gem!
The camera didn't quite pick up the correct colors, but it's purple.

Pulled the trigger and ended up buying the PVC Star Lord Helmet mask from eBay. Pics we culled from Amazon as the pics of eBay are not updated. From talking with the seller the top section of the helmet should be cut out already from the seller. For the monies and time worth every penny IMHO. I plan to sand off the side company logos, repaint with wear like the screen used version and await remote control micro string red LED lights to top it off. Hope this helps everyone. Will find a way to add that stainless steel braided hose look to the side lower helmet details.
What's the diameter of that piece? I've seen braided water line as small as 1/4" outside diameter.

That is the exact size i was looking at: 1/4". I will add more pics once i get this item in my hands. Looks very promising for the price. Perfect foundation to mod and repaint.

The eBay user whom we bought this from is: newprops. The person of contact is Sharon. Just got confirmation that it just shipped. Hopefully i will see it sometime this week as shipping was via DHL Express from the looks of the tracking number. Can't go wrong for $109 shipped y'all 
Also they come in like 5 different versions so choose accordingly. The info seems to be better on Amazon vs eBay FYI. Breaks it down to circumference to you head size and such.

Thanks. Probably just hit up the local Home Depot or Ace for that. Will buy one or look around the house for a scrap line if avail.
I couldn't find 1/4" on Home Depot's web site, but that's not to say they won't have it in-store. Their web site search sucks.

Nice man... mine is a good bit larger and holds 3 LEDs. Still working on getting everything inside the stone. Should have a video up soon on it.
I did completely F'up my stone mold... forgot to add mold release like an idiot. Thats what I get for working on a project late at night.
