Hey... not sure if this is my first post or not... but been lurking for a while
eitherway, time to properly contribute
So, Supanova is coming up in australia (april)
so some friends and i are going as Mal (me), Inara (my GF), Zoe, Jayne, Kaylee, Simon and River.
--lemme know if anyone is going to melbourne as book or wash--
-don't know if it is the place for it (so just delete if it isn't)-
I am still mostly in the collecting stage.
Zoe is almost complete, just need to redye the holster i found on ebay, $80 it is a steve mcqueen dead or alive replica, best i have seen BY A LONG SHOT -other than badgers-, but it comes in black... the redying will probably make me cry. (msg me if you want the sellers ID)
and wait for a vest (BDM style to arrive in post) -i'll post current pics up, and some progress pics of my holster mods
All my kaylee stuff is incoming, along with my sisters old sewing machine, coz it will need some heavy modding.. gonna make the parisol myself
found rivers BDM dress in pink that i am gonna dye
Simon i am modding an old suit of mine, but still need some purple glasses that i cant find to save myself
jayne i haven't started, but will be the easiest
For Mal i got the israeli IDF suspenders yesterday, and will start modding tomorrow. spashed out on a holster from badger, pants from WWM, still looking for the gossgrain... boots i found amazingly close for $40 on oztion.com.au, and i have ordered leather to make the coat
Inara i am going for train job dress, with gold cloak... that is WELL beyond my skill, so looking for a good seamstress there, preferably one used to doing costume copies (budget is around $500 if anyone can, or knows anyone who can)
full set of 'verse weapons from wilco models are coming, hopefully with no customs issues... i know the mares leg gets destroyed a bit :cry
i think i set myself a fairly big task for someone new to costuming, so any help, critism (constructive) or advice would be very much appreciated.
-assuming this thread is allowed, i'll post some progress pics as they come-
