Again, no pics of the making of, but the suppressor was a large dowel, bored out on one end to fit the barrel dowel, and on the other to look like the muzzle. I made a 45 degree jig for the drill press, and started drilling holes: It started to look better with a couple coats of aluminum...

The handle was next, acrylic with foam in place of the wood grips: and the magazine: ...and a test fit of the piece so far, featuring my very cunning hat. Now comes my downfall. As it turns out, closed cell foam and fibreglass resin DO NOT PLAY WELL TOGETHER. My pieces began melting on...

Hey all, this build has been sitting on my computer for a while, I figured I'd finally post it. It's a little embarrassing at one point, but I ended up with a final product I'm really happy with! The first step was finding the lovely recreation known as Alice from joatrash (sp?), which was all...

Very nice leatherwork! My first Ezio costume used vinyl, I'm only now upgrading to real leather.

Now for the greaves. These are the same thick leather as the spaulder, my idea being that these are meant to be armour, not just part of his boots. These will go on over whatever pair of boots I buy for this costume. I started by cutting the leather oversized, soaking it in water, and...

Now for the hardware on the spaulder, and re-attaching the cape. The previous design was good, just D-rings riveted on with flaps of leather, and the cording attached to that. Now to attach the cape, more rivets! A thin strip of leather on the other side sandwiches the cape in, and the...

Here's an update. Been really busy lately with school, so I haven't worked as much as I wanted to. But I have the spaulder dyed, riveted, and cape attached! Dying the spaulder! I used cordovan leather dye, and at first I tried to do a light-ish coat. As you can see, the colour went on a...

Thanks guys! I'm looking forward to getting it all done. Right now I'm working on altering the mechanism on the toy wrist blade replica to work with a wrist action...

Hey all! I'm not new to costume making, but I am new to the RPF. I actually just posted my first costume build to this site, pretty excited about learning new things from the awesome people on this site! I've been making costumes for about ten years now, and I've won best in show at my local...

Next up, I decided to make the spaulder. I went with the leather armour in the game that has inlay in it. I think it's called the Helmschmied armour. This is again vinyl, and the "inlay" is sewn into it. It is glued onto a piece of templating plastic. First order of business was to redo...

Continuing... Here is the buckle with leather attached! Next, for some hardware... Now the belt is wearable! Now to get those loose flaps of leather under control: This is as far as I can go on the belt, until I get the boots, so I can match the dye. Next up: spaulder!

Hey all, this is my first post to the RPF, I thought you guys might want to see my costume. The bulk of what I'm going to post at first has no "making-of" shots, but I'm working on upgrading it. The new stuff will have detailed progress pics. I made an Ezio costume 3 or 4 years ago, in fact I...

I see you made the daggers, and you have a sheath for Legolas, but how are you dealing with Tauriel's daggers being upside down on her back? I can't find any shots of that part of the costume...
