Hey everyone,
This will be my first project...
Since I found quakevirus' MK9 Smoke's alt costume it got me pretty psyched.
I wanted to make a full get up for MK9 Noob, but haven't had much time.
Since Halloween is coming up and I missed NYCC... I decided to put a few things aside (making MK9 Smoke's mask, working on my Gundam models, playing Batman Arkham City) for the next week to make a quick costume.
I originally wanted to make the costume out of real quality material (leather for the vest, belt, etc.), but I lack the experience in the leather category. However, I decided to make Noob's straps out of leather and hopefully I can learn a few basic things in the near future for a better version of Noob's costume.
I already have the foam sheets in and the other materials coming in (ninja outfit, gloves, tabi boots, and ninja masks, leather and buckles for the straps, contacts and paint). This project is really going to come down to time management since I have about a week left until Halloween.
Since I've finished a prototype version of MK9 Noob's mask (pep created by Vagabond aka Nintendude) hopefully the costume build won't be too difficult for me to finish in time for Halloween.
My plan is to fabricate certain portions of Noob's costume with foam (forearm and knee/shin guards, belt, a good portion of his vest) and airbrush them with similar colors as the mask I made. I have a feeling hot glue won't stick too well to cotton, so I may have to improvise (by using a sewing machine).
I have a feeling that I will end up spending a good day or two mocking and making up Noob's Hood, so that's going to require some good planning.
All comments are welcome! Any ideas that I've gained permission or use from other members while searching the forums I will be mentioning. Thanks in advance!
So my first post in this thread is my idea of a mock up for Noob's vest.
