    89 Batman cape-which material was used?

    IIRC, there was an article in Film Threat magazine back then that said it was rubberized wool, although they didn't get into the technique.

    Firefly obscuria: help with MONTY?

    I think the boots may be these X-element boots, dyed brown. Cheaper than the Harley's and no bottom buckle to remove.

    Easy way to cut eyeholes in a metal bucket?

    Any idea of what volume pot you'd need? I found this set: http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/shop/camping-equipment/cooksets-accessories/product-373797.html The largest seems to be about 13.75 quarts.

    Didn't much care for GB 2, but I do seem to remember that.

    Firefly obscuria: help with MONTY?

    thanks - I'll post there, too. But since the costume was a pick-n-pull from the prop rental company, I thought folks here would be more likely to be able ID the individual pieces. That padded coat/vest thing is maddening. The lining looks exactly like the zig-zag quilting on a moving...

    Any idea how the sizing runs - ie wide, narrow, order one size larger than normal?

    Firefly obscuria: help with MONTY?

    Good catch on the boots! A simple dye-job might work there. Thanks! UPDATE: Avast gives me a virus warning on the main site for the boots: HTML:Iframe-inf virus/worm.

    Firefly obscuria: help with MONTY?

    Can anyone shed some light on the epaulet / gorget, his vests, belt or boots? Everything else (except his shirt and pants) is sufficiently obscured that I think I can reasonably take artistic license.

    Firefly obscuria: help with MONTY?

    One of the weird things about the quilted vest is that there is a patch down where the zipper would be with the numbers 1483 in an odd, sci-fi typeface. I can't quite grab it, so here's the best I could do: The quilted over-vest has buckle epaulets on it, and seems to buckle to the...

    Detail on the epaulet gorget: Here you can see his suspenders, and him "reaching" for his gun when he sees Mal: MORE!

    Firefly obscuria: help with MONTY?

    Hi gang, He was only in "Trash," but it was clearly a setup for other possibilities - I'm talking about that sasquatch name o' Monty. I emailed with Shawna Trpcic about this costume, but she wasn't able to recall much. Franc Ross as a last minute casting decision, so they had to scramble to...

    What to do with this.....Colt Peacemaker!!

    I've seen pewter and/or silver cobras on the internet for inlaying into the grips to create a "Man With No Name" pistol. Give the metal some sort of dark wash to simulate 1870s blueing and mount the cobras on the grips and put it in a case with a green serape and a leather gauntlet - instant...

    Atomic Pistol, Done for now, Pics Page 3.

    Re: Atomic Pistol, And Rifle. I'm going to guess that the clear parts are plastic lenses from solar powered landscape lights.
