Hey forum.
Thought I'd post an additional thread to my Wolverine X-1 Canadian outback build for those interested to check out. So as a few of you guys who follow my exploits know (as a relative newbie round these here parts), my girlfriend is going with me to Comic Con NYC in October as Jean Grey.
Rather than doing the Black battle suit, she opted for a somewhat more unique take on the character from X-2 instead of X-1; going for the Post-Magneto X-Jet save and landing/ Camp-out Blue Team Field Jacket (scenes) that a few of the characters throw on during their pit stop, as well as a few points through the remainder of the Alkali lake scenes (Rogue would be a good example here keeping hers on till about the end/ Pyro, etc).
The Jacket is technically "Unisex" but there are cut and fit differences on the female characters wearing them, in comparison to say Logan's, for his brief time in his.
For Jean, and at least Storm (as far as I can tell), there is also an unusual feature- a small, Chevron-zipped tool patch affixed to the left arm. Seems these girls are the only ones qualified to fix the systems on the X-Jet.
So here to start the thread is my first sketch for the wardrobe designer Erin's brought on board to do the project from scratch. He's also doing Logan's X-1 Lumberjack shirt for me (after we found the virtualy identical matching material and pattern to the original Hugh Jackman shirt), so this will be an interesting thread. I may overlap the two here and there as we will be doing numerous fittings and seeing mock-ups constructed of both before the final builds.We've supplied him with all the existing screen grabs, and online images we could find as well as the films obviously to scan through, freeze, what have you.
Eventually I'm going to have my own built as well for a nice change of pace with Logan, but as the pattern's fit is different for the women's garment, it will be a complex build there for Logan too. Eventually we'll have both the male and female patterns in our arsenal so we're really stoked overall.
For now, we're only building Jean's. I've also enclosed a very accurate (who'd have thought) X-Belt I found that seems to match up perfectly to the buckle Jean and Storm wear in these scenes.
Wish us luck!
Pics when available...and soon!
