Mandarin- that size shield is for getting into the thick of battle and getting up close and personal with your enemies. Shows that she is a warrior on the attack instead of defense

Well after staring at these pictures for forever, her under dress is definitely mail. So that will be my next phase . I have the metal part of the bracers designed and molded-now I gotta paint it. I've not been able to dedicate as much time as I want because I have 3 shows in 5 weeks starting...

WOW I am right in there with you guys. Saw the movie last night- will probably see it again in the next week. Thank you art for the reference picture. My biggest dilemma right now is wether to do the Gypsy Danger I or Gypsy Danger II pilot suits, I really like the contrast of the white suits...

Just popping in to say Hi and see if there is any progress on this. I am working on the same project. My experience is with leather so I am not worried about that aspect but I have the same trepidation about making it look like metal and not foam armor. I will be testing paint applications on...

I just speant my entire morning reading through this and all I can say is HOT DAMN that is brilliant. I can't see any Zelda costume beating you in a costume contest- the judges must have been high or really didn't know what they were looking at and thus were unfit to judge. I can tell...

So technically this is finished, but the perfectionist in me is probably going to revist it a few times to work on a few different things. last week we were asked to attend a special screening of the Hobbit at the IMAX theatre at the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Science. they wanted to put on a...

Ahhh so glad to hear someone else is doing a Seiya costume. i have been in the planning stages of my Gold Cloth Scorpio (Milo) since last year. Biggest sticking point is finding the right material to get the reflective gold look. What do you plan on using to get the shiny gold effect??

Rikarus I've kept my eye out on my latest trips to the fabric stores. Realistically, your best bet of finding something similar would be a home decorating/upholstery store that caters to interior designers and the like. Being with how intricate the fabric is, be prepared to pay a pretty penny...

Firstly- what store did you buy it from?? Did you by any chance get the sku or item number from the fabric ppl?/ I know some of them- especially the ones that don't sew or costume don't give a crap- when you get lucky and find one who does they usually understand that need to find a fabric...

Beautiful work I have all the leather and all the parts for mine, just haven't had the time since DragonCon to get working on it. Did you make the Agiel??

You guys really are ambitious but from what I have seen of all your work I am sure you can pull it off. As far as the big cut out shoulder pieces- I don't think they are made of fabric it definitely looks like its either laser cut or molded from a single piece and then painted to match the...

Brilliant thread. EveningArwen would you mind sharing make and model of your hand press and what your thoughts are on it?? I've been looking for one for a while but there is so much variety out there its hard to choose. Don't know wether to go with something off of ebay or somewhere else

Sorry that happened to you. I bet there has to be some kind of sealer you can use that won't alter the color or shine of the mask.

If I were you I would check out the local targets. I found a Sam deluxe disc on clearance at target 2 months ago for $4. If I had known how in demand they were I would have bought the whole lot and modded them. I went back 4 days later and they had gotten rid of the whole lot of clearance tron...

Thank you all for the input. Spent the weekend moving and don't have internet at home. Unfortunately the move is still not finished. Anyway. I make a lot of chain maille pieces so I am looking to cut and anodize my own aluminum rings. I have found a few diy anodizing rigs but I don't know how...
