FYI, looks like Targets have decided to restocked some of the BS helmets. 79.99, picked one up tonight.

Well, uh. Okay. Here's an update.

Additionally here are the contacts we will be using.

Hi everyone. This is really my first foray into mask making. So advice from those who've been around the block a few times would be very helpful. I chose to sculpt Garrus for my other half because... Well, I LOVE his character and what's better than dressing up my honey as a Sci-Fi crush? I get...

Now days I usually just stalk the threads without logging in, but I HAD to stop in and tell you how absolutely fantastic these pieces look! Many folks so far have not gotten the curvature on her visor down, yours looks beautiful.

Ladies can pull off "bondo" better ;)

Gauntlets are prepped for paint! Not 100% screen accurate but good enough for now.

Had time to get a good layer of primer on all of the main armor components today. One more layer of sanding and primer, then this stuff is ready to paint! Gauntlets, back plate, jetpack and helmet work tomorrow! Sorry for the bad images, the pieces are sitting on my sewing room floor.

Sup! I'm Hydra, I have fatty chest lumps and they are often covered in bondo and styrene dust! I sew and cast many a thing in resin, vacuum form, scratch build and sculpt. I am women, hear me roar!

Thank you guys! Badmonkey: I jumped off of that darn rock about 6 times into rib-deep snow to get that shot. Needless to say there were bloopers: Yes, this costume has been posted on the Mando Mercs and Dented Helmet :) I will also be revamping her and donning the costume again at Star...

This costume has made the rounds on some star wars costuming forums, but I regret never sharing it here since it's completion in 2009. To keep it short and sweet, it's a custom mandalorian that I initially built in about a weeks time after months of creative inner-monologuing and conceptual...
