Ahh, thanks. Sorry, I’m very new to the RPF. Much appreciated!

Wild!! These are awesome.

You two look great. I've been following your Anck Su Namun thread - some impressive detective work there

Where did you get the sword? I've got the pistols (well 1 1/2 anyway, I'll finish the other eventually) having the sword too would make a cool set.

 

[joberg]

Very well done for sure

 

[Egon]

So happy to be a small part of this project!
The photos are killer! I know how much work you put into this!

Thanks!!! And yeah I've been waaaay too deep on my obsession about replicating her costume, but man is it fun!!!!

And the sword file was my WandererTJ - they have an etsy, but the file isn't up there so shoot them a message! WandererTJ - Etsy

Very well done for sure

Thank you!!!

Thanks for finding this for me. I've gathered some reference to model it myself so I'll check it out. Hopefully you've saved me the effort.

Amazing job! I know I am late to the party but wanted to see if you could comment on the boots. Tried searching around but it seemed like I was coming up with dead ends or premium leather boots for horse riding/ cowboy boots costing $300+. Is there a happy middle ground for comfortable boots you wear for cosplaying without wanting to buy a horse as well after ?

Would you also be able to recall the type of tea and timing for staining the shirt? Seems simple enough with the research I have done but with how good yours looks any extra information would be helpful! Thanks!

Hello!

What I did for the boots was use brown leather boots I already had and then bought gators/chaps in the same color to go over the top to make them look like long officer style boots

The tea staining I did in a big plastic bowl, I scrunched up the shirt lots so it would stain in varying patterns and just kept going and checking it till I liked the color

Good luck!

Interesting I did not know about these! That might help guide my searches a little more. Thank you very much!

Actually I found this guy on etsy just now from Pakistan who has good reviews and looks like it may be what I am after? There are a couple options for similar boots. Goes by the name of Michartinco and all of them are ~$150? Perhaps not the exact same style but could work?

I can't directly weigh in on the O'Connell side of things, but thanks for pointing out michartinco, I've been trying to find a decent Star Trek TOS boot and he might be able to put one together for a reasonable price. Options are good!

I just kept searching ebay for "brown field boots lace" "British officer boots" "Rocketeer boots" "British ww1 calvary boots" until I eventually found someone selling them for cheap (boots found in a barn that were filled with dead spiders... it was unpleasant to clean and restore.)

There are some VERY cheap cosplay versions on ebay if you search "Rick O'Connell boots" but they looks pretty cheap.

And for tea staining I just steeped a bunch of regular black tea bags and filled spray bottle with the cooled down tea and just went to town!

Hello there! Excellent work on your Rick cosplay. Please, tell me more about the sword.

I've not used 3D printed resins before so that's all new to me. I take it you had to finish and paint it yourself? If so, what did you use? Any lessons from that you can share? Thanks!

Welcome to the right side of the river!

So I spent a good deal of the quarantine losing my mind / watching the Mummy on repeat. This inevitably lead to me obsessing over Rick O'Connell's costume and gear. There is little to no info on this outfit so I spent a good deal of time compiling and sorting out what I could.

I wanted to breakdown some of the more challenging details I came up against & skip over the more obvious ones like the wrist-cuff and bandanna.

Here are some pics of me in the finished outfit before I go into the process:

Here is a fairly brief overview of what I did:

First up:

Pants: Modified Scully Men's Rangewear Canvas Pant

Basically cowboy pants that I cut some of the bottom cuff off of and added belt loops to. You can see in this weird diagram (below) where I placed the belt loops if you are looking at them from the top-down with the fly at the bottom. They should go up and over your belly button so they are a VERY strange fit if you aren't used to that. The location of the loops is very important as it dictates where your holsters sit.

The shirt:

Pouring over reference, I discovered that his shirt is a dead-ringer for a "Pilots shirt" very similar to an Indiana Jones shirt, just has lower pockets and no pleats. The one I got was called the Van Heusen Men's Pilot Dress Shirt Long Sleeve Commander. I got it on amazon, tea stained it and took out the really stiff bit of interfacing inside the collar with a seam ripper.

Now: The big guy!

The Shoulder Holsters:

I'm not going to go over this completely, but there's a few things I want to point out.

First: I've seen the Todd's costumes Holsters and they are AMAZING! But they were missing a few important details + I wanted to make this myself.

So one of the biggest confusions for me is the fact that the gun holsters actually slide through his pants belt. That took me much too long to figure out. For this reason I would highly recommend getting your pants first... which I didn't do.

You can see this best illustrated here:

Now. The thing that drove me MOST insane. These Mystery holes. They seem to move from scene to scene. I suspect these are here to tie the guns in place for stunts because that is roughly where they line up, otherwise I have zero Idea why they are here.
They can be best seen in this pic:

The back also proved to be a bit of a nightmare, especially since I had to sort that out on my own and in a mirror. Really challenging. Plus finding good shots of his back and what kind of rivets they used was really hard. Here are some of the ones that helped me:

View attachment 1521582View attachment 1521583

Here is the underside and back of mine:

View attachment 1521584 View attachment 1521586


Leather Color
I went with Medium Brown Fiebing's Leather Dye mixed "watered down" with isopropyl alcohol. I used this on all of the leather bits, as they seem to be nearly an identical color.


For the Belt I just went with a 2" leather belt I got at Tandy and found the closest buckle I could. If memory serves I also got the buckles from Tandy and Frankenstein-ed 2 buckles together.

For that Brass belt keeper I couldn't find anything like that online so I made it using one of those K&S Precision Metals brass bars. You can typically find them at craft hobby / stores


The Chamelot-Delvigne Revolvers!

(I got mine from HanzoSword.com - their customer service was... unusual - not my favorite)

I originally 3-D printed some just to get started on the holsters, but eventually found these. I had to add my own brass ring at the bottom since the casting didn't come with any.

The Boots
Just re-used the ones for my Rocketeer costume. They are English officer's boots or something... I don't remember.


Hope this helps anyone looking to make this! It was a lot of fun to put together.

Oh. And for anyone interested in making the holster from scratch here is the pattern I drew up.

Happy Mummy Hunting!

Such an awesome job! I'd love to know what kind of leather you used for the holsters since I planned on making them soon myself.

Beautiful job on the holsters !

 

[AJLoCascio]

Such an awesome job! I'd love to know what kind of leather you used for the holsters since I planned on making them soon myself.

Hey thanks! Just regular veg tanned tooling leather I think it was 4-6 oz. Maybe thicker!

Hello there! Excellent work on your Rick cosplay. Please, tell me more about the sword.

Hey the sword was made by WandererTJ: Here is the link:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1460632800/sword-of-osiris-digital-download?click_key=e604f3353f22851e12f1490c21472bfa923c235e%3A1460632800&click_sum=2465abf9&ref=shop_home_active_2

It's not resin but PLA filiment - there are services that will print it for you. I DID wind up adding the scarab to it + had to put a threaded metal rod down the center to hold all the pieces in-line.
