This looks like a great thread but the images appear broken for me. Seems they use expired facebook URLs. vaderdarth Would you mind updating when you have a chance? Thanks! =D

No updates on daggers / belt attachment since it's going to involve casting a real dagger in silicone and then making six semi rigid copies that are con safe. I'll get to it eventually I'm sure. Shapeways is a 3d printing website. The files are attached on the post but like I said I would...

Hoping for an update on these soon. Super excited!

Good addition. I definitely approve.

Re: The Martian - ARES III Mission Patch and Stickers Very interested. Hope this works out!

(Cloak pricing update) So I was curious about my cloak pricing and looked it up in a bank statement. $90 at a SR Harris Fabric for 3 yards. So yeah. I mean this was probably because it's a "bulk" fabric store. Pretty much a warehouse with big shelves and fabric wound around cardboard spools...

I guess I'm not sure yet. Commissioning a perfect hat will be pretty far down the road. Definitely after I get a correctly sized one from Hatcrafters. So far I just know it will involve advice from an actual hatter. And if the guy I am talking to can't give me good advice I'll know I should...

Dude I'm right there with you. For me the most distinctive thing about the V costume was the hat. I knew there would be tons of mask replicas online but the hat is something special and distinctive. The shape is just so specific. Someday when I have more disposable income I will commission a...

That sounds pretty cool. I hope to see a WIP thread from you if that ever happens. Maybe I could send you my current hat for reference when I get one that fits.

It is tapered all around it's just a few degrees off. The 2nd pic is not from directly on top. The party was fun! Open bar and everything! He told me he found a good doublet replica and then found a good fabric that matched and took it to his tailor who reproduced the doublet. I can tell that is...

Oh yeah I almost forgot! I went to Incognito! Which was a party hosted by Adam Savage and the guys from tested.com. Adam had his V costume set up and while I was reading the description for it I turned around and he was standing right there! I told him I was cosplaying V this year and he was...

I just double checked to make sure and the crown is 6" on the dot and the brim is 4" on the dot when measured from the outside, The hat does have a taper to it but it is more narrow than V's. I would say its only a few degrees off of V's hat, When you look at it side by side you can tell it's...

Thanks man! When I started building this costume I knew I would always be updating and adding to it. It probably won't ever be exactly right but I know how much better it could be with the actual options that are available. I didn't even do daggers! I do feel that as long as I can get a...

Hello! I recently went to San Diego Comic-Con 2014 as V. I wanted to make this thread detailing the process I took to becoming V with a focus on the mistakes I made and what you can do to avoid them if you also want to become a bad-ass freedom fighter. First I want to thank RPF members "J EM"...

Edit: Double post. Sorry.
