NECROTHREAD. AGAINNN
I've been working my tush off, and today, shot the first costume/makeup test.
Couple Notes:
-Eyebrow scars were Tinsley Transfers, which are about $10, and they're awesome. I learned a lot for next time to make them even better, but I recommend them fully. Cheek scarring was Mehron Rigid Collodion.
-I made my cloak! It's made out of two identical mystery army's half shelters, cut into shape, I added the hood, some lambskin trim hither and thither, and then I draped it and tacked it into place with Swing Tacks so my cloak with always look the same, always be folded just the way I want, and won't go anywhere, though it will still have simulated movement! I also built a tie system into the neck of the cloak and top of the plate carrier so that when fully tightened, my cloak cannot fall back to choke me. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty proud of the idea

Picture attached.
-Last time I was here, I asked about pants and I think Toggle is dead on about them being custom. For now, I bought some Tru-Spec rip stop pants, and I plan on buying a second pair to make the cargo pockets. NOTE: The photos showing the pants were taken after I took LITERALLY 5.5 inches off of EACH LEG. These things were huge in the trunks. Thankfully, I can sew!
-I was having a hard time biting the bullet on $30-$40 airsoft grenades and I really didn't want to 3D print them. Did one last google search and found LuckyShot 40MM grenade shot glasses! they're $10 a piece, built to spec (allegedly??), and a breeze to paint. Bonus: They're water tight when closed so hiding booze at Cons just got easier!
Parts to address:
-Haven't weathered anything but my boots.
-Looking for dummy Walther Mags. BlueGun makes them, but they're backordered for like 5 months.
-My StrapWorks and Seattle Fabrics order arrives tomorrow that has all the materials I need to build the half hip pad he wears, and mod the plate carrier to have two straps on each side rather than just the stock one.
-Cannot find a "standing," teddy bear. Maybe with Valentines Day coming?? LOL.
-No luck on a Walther holster that I feel confident in. Probably gonna buy some Kydex and wing it.
-Buddy of mine (LunchBoxWars on IG) purchased the accurate 33rd extended Glock Mag today, and he's going to be molding and casting dummies if anyone needs some!
-BFG, Handheld grenade launcher, and Arm have been commissioned out. Now we wait.
