Yeah that was me on cosplay.com who posted it.

 

[Estel_MM]

Cool, thanks for that link. I'm undecided on which one to go with.

 

[Jodo]

Here, I took these this morning, this is what I have (aside from the Dent Sticker.) -

I thought about asking a few people I know in the UK if they had any shops,etc. that stocked scrubs and dresses to look for me a zip up one with pink trim. You never know, might be a store exclusive. :love

 

[Estel_MM]

Thanks for the pics Jodo.

Is it confirmed that the name tag says "Nurse Hemming" ?

Also, shouldnt the tag be silver instead of gold, in the screenshots it looks silver to me. I could be wrong though...

 

[Jodo]

Yes it does indeed say Nurse Hemming, I know a few people who claim to be on set say it read Matilda, but what someone screencapped for me from a bluray, it says Hemming. however the font is gigantic on it. It doesn't bother me much that the font on mine is diffrent, infact, I don't like the big font they used.

IMO, the tag is gold. Just like the Nurse pin looks diffrent in each pic., the colors are a bit diffrent in each shot. But overall, I think it looks gold.

 

[Indy Magnoli]

Pants have finally been added to my site! More info here: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=49175

Kind regards,
Indy

 

[Jodo]

Dang, those are nice.

 

[Estel_MM]

I think I may have found a pretty accurate penlight. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

http://www.amazon.com/Magnum-Medica...=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1247164877&sr=8-16

Heres a screencap to compare:

In this pic you can faintly see the 3 holes on the pen clip (you can see the white of the shirt)

In this pic you can see the black ring that goes around the pen.

 

[.:MirrorminD:.]

its not a very good pic (the one on amazon) but it looks pretty close if its not it

 

[Jodo]

Cool, looks good to me, LOL.

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

I am having an accuracy issue concerning the currently available replica Joker shoes...
Here is a comparison of the two offered that I know of:

Though the replicas offered by Indy and Bootstoo are very nice, neither seem to have the same finish and are lacking details pointed out in this comparison:

I am sure Indy would be happy to ammend his current design for the sake of accuracy, however I wanted to get input from the rest of you Joker heads out there...

 

[Jodo]

I hadn't ever noticed the diffrence in the laces section...But you know, my main thing would be color. I'm just not happy with the colors evryone is offering. Its more of a weathered greyish. Indy's newest color is proboly the best I've seen though. :

EDIT - And the bootstoo shoes are the ones CA Boots offers. I was just looking at them here a day or two ago actualy.

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

The more I look at the shoes, the more I think they are NOT a sueade at all - looks like a raw leather, weathered or sun bleached?
Not convinced at all they are grey - or totally brown for that matter. Damn I wish we could study the whole costume in person!
I am also still not totally convinced the original coat is wool - another topic I want to rehash here. I would say the coat is suade but it doesn't look as soft as wool. The stitching on the wool coat is more set-in because of how thick it is, but if you look at the screen-used coat the stitching does not look this way.
I might be crazy - or a crazy stickler for accuracy - but that's what this message board is all about. Any help here fellas??

 

[NoTsOsErIoUs]

Only thing I can say is the coat does not appear to be suade.
The best evidence for this is the mass produced "Why so serious?" posters. You get a clear close up of the weathering to the lapels on that poster and you can clearly see the woven threadbareness of the fabric, something that is not in the nature of suade as a material.
At one time a few people I asked in the garment trade thought it might be very old velvet. But at the end of the day I still think it's a wool.

 

[Jodo]

I'll go with whatever the Tripp coat is made out of. Because that's what I have, LOL! After receiving Indy's fabric swatch, I could agree its deffintly like that wool. I'll take a hi-def pic tomorro.

Ok, I've been wanting to do the Nurse make-up for a while, yet somehow when I finaly decided to, evrywhere in a 30 mile radius sells out of sticker paper for the Dent sticker. Oh well....I still need the correct pen light (soon!), the belt, and pink trim....Enjoy?

And your bonus :

Fat guy in a dress, what's there not to like?

EDIT - To clarify, I based the application on the cleaner nurse version, and the scars are obviously just place fillers. I think the skin lines on the eyes need to be a bit longer. :

EDIT 2 - Less black next time too...

 

[Jodo]

Here's exactly what needs to be changed, LOL.

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

Jodo is right - there are a lot of little details that need changed because lets face it - not all of us here have your hair, which I think is the best thing going for you right now because you don't have to worry about a wig. If you don't already have a picture on hand to study while you apply your makeup, do so because that helped me out a lot.
The makeup does take time, even though it is designed to look like it didn't. But Jodo's observations are right on the money...lets see what else you can do because you really have the look to pull this off.
Invest in a better scar kit too, I don't know what you're using. Try the one from Gorify.com. I think they have the best available right now.

 

[Jodo]

Jodo is Jodo man! :lol He's the same guy! :lol

And thanks, LOL! I think its realy easy to say this needs to change after all is said and done, but personaly, I find it sorta hard to spot the diffrences when I actualy have it on. It's like it needs to set just a bit for me to go back and "proof read it". But each time get's better, hopefully someday it'll be perfected!

As for the scars, I don't have any on in those pics. Thats just make-up, originaly, I didn't have any on, as I was going to use one of my medical masks. I decided to go ahead and do them to see what they would look like.

 

[.:MirrorminD:.]

For the scars I would definitely go with silcone ones. In the past I used the rigid collodion and they are nothing compared to actual silcone base. For people would dont want to make their own molds the guys over at gorify.com have imo the best molds. I highly recomend them. They last for hours, can stretch them and takes about 30min including makeup to put on(once you get use to doing them)


*EDIT looks like GeneralFROSTY already recomended them

Here are pics using their molds:
