Costume's looking great so far.
Which Supanova are you and your group going to? I've gone to the Brisbane and Sydney Nova's dressed as Mal a few times. It's a costume I'm still updating, recently acquired the right IDF suspenders and proper Browncoat buckles for my old Abbyshot coat. Still want to get a better cotton shirt, gloves and *still* need to assemble my Sidkit sidearm. One day :lol
If you make it to Brisbane, I might see you there.
Be seeing you,
Magnus Darcrider

If I get a handle on a 47A, I'll sell you the Sidkit, sure.
You want a hand with Customs, let me know. I've got experience and a law degree :lol

i havent heard anything at all about customs yet... i assume they need to tell me before they destroy
any advice on HOW i can get them out any faster would be awesome
customs issues didnt even occur to me when i had them shipped
otherwise i'd have put them in my fathers name... he has a gun licence
i am doing a mix n match jayne
blue sun tshirt (already have one)
with cunning hat (guy i am assembling for is bald
and i am gonna have a crack at making a badnolier... wont be overly SA, but will look the part
for kaylee i have all the patches, and an AMAZINGLY accurate floral tee
waiting on a jumpsuit to arrive so i can mod it, and assemble
REALLY nice jayne btw

here is jaynes in progress
having trouble with the release buckle on the bandolier... can't get a parachute one in australia (unless it has $58US in postage)
so any advice pointers on how to finish that
and yes, i know it is over the wrong shoulder, the gun is a toy, and anything that real lookng in aus is RARE, and all its detail is on that side... the otherside just has a made in china logo
the costume is also a bit of an episode/movie mish mash
the guy who will be wearing it is bald, with a shaved head, so cunning hat is a must, i have a bluesun tee already.... soooooo
anyway, pics...
advice please

almost done on all accounts
got approval from the police to get weapons out of customs
get to customs, and they say no
photos i put on the vic permit have orange caps on them, and thus are ok
the guns sent dont have orange caps, due to the seller being american and most buyers asking for them not to be attached.
so no guns for me
toy shop plastic undersized guns in exspensive real holsters
---seller is being really good about it, in regard to replacing and trying again
just sucks about postage, coz if he replaces for free with cost of postage he actually loses quite a bit of money. but coming to an arangement
dye the resin pink, instead of grey, and orange caps.... thats gotta work!

That's a lovely Inara costume! Looking back at the previous pictures I also like the way it changes under different lighting conditions.
thanks
the dress in the first pics were just stuff lying around, just to highlight the belt (that i made)
the full dress in the bottom pic is a commission by darth mule, still has some sizing issues, but given i live 10,000miles away from him (we did fittings over skype!), it is pretty sweet!
its getting modified slightly at a tailor tomorrow, and should then fit perfectly

Everything looks great!
Ya'll should make an impressive entourage.
How are you doing on meeting your schedule?
The only problem I see is that your Inara has no head!
Continued success,
Mike

Maybe you could make some holster-riders out of wood after the same fashion as people make knife handles with no blades for costumes.
Cut-out the shape of Mal's and Jayne's pistols in wood, paint the backstraps and stain the "grips".
Glad your Inara has a head; whew!
Great work and good luck,
Mike
myslef and wood. and powertools for that matter are not friends.
i have a tool box, several of them, but they are full of whisks and dariole moulds, pallatte knives, spatulas, etc
i stripped and then paintedthe toy guns.
the toy showgun i did for the mares leg looks pretty sweet..... just have to make sure the other 2 never get drawn

Oh wow... I'm bummed that I didn't see this thread sooner!
The shipping on the harness makes sense as it is VERY heavy. There's a lot of hardware on there, and very little of it useful to us.
Could you get one shipped to a US friend, then have him/her cut the piece off that you need and just ship that? It should save you a TON of money.
I was just looking over the molds for the Firefly stuff I've done. It was all early work, and all terrible. I really want to remake the molds soon, especially the knife.
