I also used McCall's M4745 (coat A); it was put together for me by an amateur seamstress (my mother ;)) - I think we only made the collar a little wider (higher), and she modified the front slightly to put in a zipper, instead of buttons. I am pretty happy with the way it came out, although if I...

Sorry if it is bad form to resurrect a dormant thread like this, but I would also like to know if there are any members who have dealt with this vendor (owner Kevin McMahon)? On their website, they have a "testimonials" page with dozens of glowing reviews and thank-you's, posted via Facebook...

I am also slowly putting together a costume, and found this thread to be one of the best sources of information (especially Darth Mule). For a head covering, I would suggest something like an "ultra thin cotton balaclava" (try ebay). For the boots, I found Funtasma's "Captains Boots" (type...

Do you plan on selling copies of your doublet pattern, or how can I get hold of one?

Hi KaanE, See post #11 for some links to other's comments on this so-called prop; apparently the film's armourer even said he had never seen that one before!

Thanks, TRisely! Excellent detail on that pic; I can even see ".45 A.C.P." engraved into the base plate of the magazine...

Weapons of Sucker Punch: Babydoll's pistol (reference) Ok, so here are the facts (as far as we know): The film's armorer confirmed to Cheviot that the pistol is indeed a Colt M1911A1 (costume thread post #334), and that it was nickel-plated and customised afterward (costume thread post...

Weapons of Sucker Punch: Babydoll's pistol (members) Some notable examples of other members' build-ups of Babydoll pistols: epilepticsquirl TONKA1675 (post #25 onwards) Kredepops Travisses (post #743-746) (also for sale in the Junkyard) Vos TRisely Whatever posted a video of his on Vimeo

If I were to venture a guess, I would say it could be the same make as the one TONKA1675 used (the arrows on that thumb safety look a lot alike).

Weapons of Sucker Punch: Babydoll's pistol (beware) There are a lot of nice reference pictures of the costumes, and props at Hollywood Movie Costumes and Props, but be careful of putting too much reliance on the Babydoll pistol displayed here, as it does not appear to be one of those used in...

Weapons of Sucker Punch: Babydoll's pistol (painting) LizardJedi has provided some excellent pointers on how to prepare, and paint a plastic pistol at the costume thread. Personally, I have never had much luck with spray cans painting mirror chrome onto plastic, but I went out this weekend...

You could perhaps try Risu (see post #737 above, or post #37 on page 2 of this thread)

Thanks for the tip, and the encouragement.

Weapons of Sucker Punch: Babydoll's pistol (replicas) Nexus6 had some suggestions for replica pistols to use as a base for Babydoll's pistol, over in the costume thread (posts 252-264).

Weapons of Sucker Punch: Babydoll's pistol (charms) RPF member Soulinertia is making excellent replicas of the charms, for sale in the Junkyard. (This thread is also a good source for more reference pictures of the charms in the movie.) For a less expensive alternative, cupcake disko makes...
