Mashing up Slave Leia from Ep VI and Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad. Essentially the Leia bikini with Harley's Bat moded to be Star Wars centric, for my daughter's cosplay at Anime Expo.
Materials: 1/4" craft foam, 1/8" Sintra, Bondo
Paint: Tamiya PS-15, Tamiya PS-19, PlastiDip white spray, Rustoleum Primer - grey, Rustoleum Tan gloss (bat wood color), medium brown acrylic paint (wood grain)
Bikini top was two layers of 1/4" craft foam, layer in red was the structure of the bikini, the blue layer was glued on after cutting and laying out the pattern. Blue diamonds are actually 1/8" Sintra cut and painted. Have yet to add the string and tie top and sides. . .
Bottom part of the bikini is 1/8" Sintra with thinner craft foam creating the Rebel Alliance and Millennium Falcon symbols. The left is the back, the right is the front. Pretty big fail on the priming. I thought I could use PlastiDip white spray on the thinner craft foam pieces, but nope. . .no . . .no. . . total fail, I then used the Rustoleum grey primer on the right piece, but all that did was make the PS-15 turn a darker shade. . .Oh well, still looks good. Blue diamonds are not affixed yet so I may hit it again with another coat of PS-15 Metallic Red.
The bikini material is Joanns Fabrics 'Yaya Han' metallic cloth in Cobalt. The bat and gun are still in progress, the bat is a $6 plastic bat painted Rustoleum light tan gloss, and then wiping cheap acrylic medium brown into the 'grain' of the bat. Wording is not 'Good Night' as in the Suicide Squad movie, but rather Han Solo's classic line of 'I Know' when Leia said 'I love you'. . .going to script the 'lullaby' from the movie to actually be the crawl from Return of the Jedi, but with a bit of Leia centric words of choice. Gun is a Rubie's Toys version of the Leia Blaster, not yet finished, adding more blue and some Sintra diamonds to the handle.
