Doctor Who 'Blink' weeping angel costume

[Mithril Designs]

Your costume is absolutely fantastic!! Bravo for having the courage to attempt to make it and for really having fun with wearing it. Great job!

 

[Al1x]

Wow! your costume is awesome. I'd love to make one for myself!

 

[StarForge]

Such attention to detail and an amazing costume, you'd totally freak me out if your mask was on! Fantastic work!

To the OP, I am floored by your Angel, and also a bit surprised I missed this thread for FOUR YEARS. It's up there with the best Iron Man builds for "most impressive costume I've ever seen" - huge props to you.

You did an amazing job!

P.S. Do you happen to know the circumference of the hoola hoop you used?

 

[Doctor Mitch]

I have to say - this is simply fantastic craftsmanship! Would you mind if I used your guide (of a sort) to make a Weeping Angel costume to use at various Cons for myself?

 

[VitriolBlue]

This is a beautiful costume! You make it all sound so easy! Very inspirational. I really appreciate your detailed description. I wish I had more time on my hands so I could attempt it!

 

[Mr Mold Maker]

That thing is damn creepy! I don't remember who was telling me, but they said I should watch this particular episode as I've never seen the show. You've definitely gotten the point across to me! Great job on the costume!

 

[Nynxy]

This is fantastic!! Blink scared me sooo much and you have hit the jackpot with your costume!!

I would first like to say that I was not a member of this site or had ever even been to it before now. I created this account specifically to comment on this thread. I realize it's quite an old post but I was searching for 'Blink'. My daughter has started watching Doctor Who with me and LOVES it (she's 5). I made a bad judgement call and didn't skip this episode and since then, she will not sleep in her bed! These angels terrified her even though I explained to her that it wasn't real. So I found your post and was able to show her step-by-step how the angels are created and that they are, in fact, fake. I realize this wasn't your intent in posting this, but you have just helped a little girl conquer her fear. Your costume was so realistic and seeing your face under that mask sealed it for her. So, THANK YOU!

LBlinc, that's one of the coolest costume compliments I've ever gotten! I'm so glad that seeing a person inside the costume took the scaries away.

Doctor Mitch, of course I'd be delighted if you used some of my ideas - that's why I shared them! Good luck!

Everyone else, thank you for the compliments! It amazes me that my bodged-together mess of paint and posterboard is still catching peoples' eyes after all these years.

Beautiful work! We saw you several times and thought you were one of the best costumes there!

 

[Evil Bob]

Really fantastic!

Seriously, so so so amazing. My friend has recently gotten into Doctor Who and wants to be a villain for a convention we are going to next month and I suggested a Weeping Angel. This is great. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome job! Love the angels.

 

[Gamer490]

Oh wow that looks awesome. Definatly would surprise a few people who didn't know what to look for.

 

[Cap Fitzgerald]

This is just great, fantastic work.

 

[Iracel]

Definately one of the best costumes ive ever seen
