My OST Jack Sparrow Project
- Thread starter TatooineMachine

Scott from YorDreem called yesterday, and my OST wig with the latest updates, weathered breeches, shirt, wrist wrap, and the OST vest is shipping today! I can't wait to get this stuff and check it out.
I need to get ahold of ACME for OST belts. I have ACME AWE belts - never worn for sale too.

Waistcoat is nice but isn't the pattern upside down?

That's a problem I've seen with a lot of costume items for sale. The person cutting them thinks it makes no difference to flip them over to save some fabric, but that makes the pattern or grain obviously upside down. It really sucks when you buy something upwards of $1000 and have to put up with that.
Relax SA gurus. Scott is making another for me as I post. He hired some help and they cut the pattern upside down as shown. Scott wasn't happy with it, but I asked him to send it anyway so I could see it and try it on for size. I'll have my new one in a few weeks. It's really a beautiful addition to Jack's costume, I love it!
I'll take some and post them later...
YorDreem OST wig
I just got my Ms. Mazie beard too!
Scott mentioned he has made the most recent updates to this wig per the OST pics that have been posted. His E-Bay pics aren't current. The dice bead in his E-Bay pics should be a dread cuff like what Sparrow is shown wearing in pics.

But now What?
Guys.. I'm looking at the same wig between the two pictures.
As is often the case, there is a difference between the perception of value and continuity of the item based on the way it has been presented.
HB1098S's shots are taken very close-frame, low light, bright flash. This is an un-natural setting that detracts from the natural presence of ANY photographed subject.
Albeit, there are always going to be slight production differences as Scott is processing a large number of orders currently... but overall I see all the same pieces and the craftsmanship of the dreads and hairs is definitely consistent with Scott's work.
HB has just displayed it differently...
In fact, HB with ANY prop or costume project you have, I would highly recommend that why you take photos of your props you do so in a way that will put them in the best possible light. (I believe there are several thread topics on here that are for just that)
Tips being.
Good, natural light. (daytime/ outdoors/ studio lighting)
Take the pictures from over six feet. If you want close-ups, use your zoom features.
(Physically holding your camera close creates a physical distortion, and if you are forced to use flash, increases the amount of glare)
Create an atmosphere that helps us focus on the prop. ( Use a simple background, or backdrop to frame your shot)
Eh. Hope anything in that makes sense....
Oh, almost forgot to mention, love the pieces of this costume. Can't wait to see it all together!

Tsuyosa - thanks for the photos tips, didn't even think of that. I was simply trying to show the detail of Scott's cool wig.
I decided to purchase a new Trade Bead strand, Long Hair Dangle, and a real deer bone sail needle from Tyrannical Treasures here in California. Cheral's bead strands are more SA in my opinion and I like that she has found individual beads that are close to the exact look. I should have them in a few days and will post pics.
