Project: Steampunk Vampire Hunter

[LizardJedi]

Outstanding, sir!

Hope to see you on the floor, and check this out in person!

 

[Yellowjacket]

Fantastic work. Can't wait to see the rest.

I'd like to see some steampunk "nightvision" goggles for this. So many steampunk cosplayers wear goggles that don't fit their character. This would be a good place for them in my opinion.

Tandy leather has some good rawhide mallets that might look good with the brass accents. Good work by the way. I can't wait to see more.

 

[p0rtalman]

Amazing work!! And seriously inspiring stuff!

 

[Zaxmon]

I love the latches. Where did you find them?

EDIT: Also, as a professional jeweler, it's nice to see some metalwork. Keep it coming.

A small update on the Mallet and Stakes!

ALMOST finished!

It's ONLY 3am and I gotta get up for work in 5 hours.... it MUST be Comic-Con Season :lol

I really like what you've done with the stake and mallet there. The light metal on the dark stained wood are an excellent contrast. Keep it up, and I wanna see pics of this whole costume when your done :cool

 

[smoothrat]

Well-imagined and well-executed! I'm looking forward to seeing the complete costume...

 

[Utinni]

Thanks guys, I think I'll only have the basics for Comic-Con. I had a TON planned for the costume but I'm not gonna have everything ready for it, these detailed pieces are taking a bit more time than I thought, and I've been staying up till 3am working on it... but again it wouldn't be Comic-Con if I wasn't a walking zombie the week before :cool

If the paint/glue on something isn't drying in the back of the car on the WAY to the Con, then you're not doing it right

I've been working on a Vampire Hunter kit, this is my first one, and more of a "travel kit" than a big scale tool kit.

My progress on the lid so far:

I'm going to remove the flimsy clasp and add leather straps to the face of the lid that wraps over to brass toggle clasps. Stain it a cherry brown and weather it.

The inside was plain and empty, I hand cut and made sections for the supplies. The bottom of the box will be leather lined.

Test fitting the bottles and stakes (which will be shorter).

[Zorba]

I love the clasps on the spats, the hand made brass and the woodwork. This is an awesome build going on! Excellent work!

 

[ZandoranCelix]

GREAT Stuff. I love the Mallet and Stakes!

I wish I had a way to work with such materials!

 

[Utinni]

Thanks guys! Yeah I totally need to update this project, I got side-lined for a bit with trying to build my shop inventory and find the neatest and unusual supplies for my Hunter Kits. Soon... very soon!
