Post your: "From then- to now!"

[BRRogers]

Post costumes that you have created in your distant-distant past, that you might have recently (or... 'more' recently) revisited or gone through their upgrades.
Let's keep it simple.
Format-

THEN (2006)
[picture]

To NOW! (2010)
[picture]

I'd also accept old costumes vs. new costumes if you didn't have any that were technically 'revisited'.

I'll start:
THEN (2006)

To 2009

*edit* 2006-2010 is on pg.3

THEN (2007)

To NOW!(again, 2009... working on yet another new one)

K, so I embarrassed myself a bit.... your turn!

 

[Guri]

Cool idea for a thread!! Could be very inspirational to people just starting out.

I don't have any of myself that I redid, but here's my husband's first Obi-wan

 

[TVsRobLowe]

Then (2004):

Now (2009):

 

[Superkrates]

Zorg makes a comeback... still can't believe no one else made a better ZF.1 in six years.

 

[MooCriket]

Nothing to add right now, except to say you all have some great costumes. Guri, your husband nailed Obi Wan, and man ol' man....that is an outstanding Zorg. Loving the progression of Captain Sparrow as well:thumbsup

 

[GINO]

Cool thread.

Here's one of mine:

Here's the first one I thought of when I saw this thread.

A slapped together costume for a Halloween party about four years ago.

And now.

 

[Guri]

I'm loving these! Especially how so many have been able to get some GREAT photos of their updated costumes. :thumbsup

 

[Risu]

Oh, fun!

2007

2010

And it's still not done. The 2011 picture will be complete.

 

[Westies14]

Great thread idea. Looks the like the photography's come at least as far as the costumes in that time, in some cases!

 

[OldKen]

Nice updates! (except Gino, are those 2 the same Vaders with different backgrounds? )

Loving the Dr. Who Risu! You really look the part!

Nice upgraded Xwing! Like the custom helmet better than the previous.

They are all vast improvements!

 

[R2Dan]

Okay, I'll play as well

THEN (2007):

(hey, it got me in the 501st... ahem)

SEMI-NOW (2010) - added some weathering to the armour after the shoot -:

And I'm still not done!

 

[Exeter02]

Hmm..hopefully i replied on the right mark. Don't know if this is much of what you require. But here's a Then....and almost Now. "Exeter Armor Iron Man"

(then...base design Mar 2010)

(Base again)

(Base progress...molding...(cardboard & duct tape only)

(july 2010....base under layer)

(Sept 2010....crotch piece still WIP and legs WIP)
(Eyes a bit too bright to see helmet detail)

 

[CardBoard King]

Then Iron Man 2007

Now Iron Man 2009

 

[MooCriket]

Duct Tape Iron Man!!! That is epic in awesomeness
Gino...your Vader looks better than the screen used version. Incredible.

 

[kelldar]

I don't rework costumes all that often but one I can't get away from is Padme's lake dress.
first version, 2002:

2006:

2008:

and another reworking on the way soon, one day I'll be satisfied with it.

I upgraded my Slave Leia quite a bit over the years too - first pic is from comic con 2005 - second is from 2009.


And more recently I remade my Wonder Woman - 2007 and 2009.

 

[GINO]

Gino...your Vader looks better than the screen used version. Incredible.

Thanks man!

[Exeter02]

Original Test fit, 2005ish

Costume debut in 2007, first time wearing it out:

Some upgrades in 2009 and a new cod, but still had bad/small armor, bad dome placement, bad speaker set-up under the capes, inner/out capes needed some re-sewing:

2010 Final version:

 

[MooCriket]

Is that a pic of Darth Vader by a diaper pail?
