My Fiance rocking WW for the 2nd Halloween. A labor of love...

WIP Pics
Completed painting the skirt, added a "holster" for the lasso, and got the tiara and bracelets done. I kept the gold accents on the belt because my GF loved them once she saw them.

NEW PICS

Didn't get nearly as much done last night as I wanted but made progress on the belt. Need to decide if I want to keep the upper belt blue or go with gold. Found some great appliques that looked suitably elegant/amazonian.

Original post:
Putting this together for my GF for Halloween. She wanted a unique and more real world take on the character. Should go well with the Ultimate Alliance 2 Thor suit I'm hoping to make for myself.

Started with a store bought Warrior Princess costume. Built up the breast plates and belt from craft foam. Rearranged the waist flaps and added craft foam backing to give them weight. Added the stars cause it wouldn't be WW without them. Painted the top a deep metalic red and the breast plates gold - still need to paint the belt and flaps a deep metalic blue and add an eagle/W emblem on the belt. Also adding some accents to the upper torso and making some silver wrist bracers.

Hope to finish tonight.

I hand painted the foam and vinyl with acrylic paint - worked like a charm.
 
Re: Wonder Woman WIP

Nice work.
It reminds me of the costume Lois wore to a convention in "Smallville".

Re: Wonder Woman WIP

Kinda reminds me of WW meets Xena, lol. Looks great and definitely looks like it would stand up better to the rigors of "real life" Great Work!
 
Re: Wonder Woman WIP

This looks so awesome! I hate when superheroine costumes look trashy so this is great a great balance of evoking Wonder Woman and keeping it classy. Can't wait to see the end result!
 
Re: Wonder Woman WIP

Bumping to showcase new belt pics. See the first post in the thread to review. Blue upper belt or gold upper belt?
 
Re: Wonder Woman WIP

acrylic paint? wow... how do you keep it from cracking?

Acrylic paint is waterbased so it goes on easy and dries extremely flexible. It shifts and moves with her with no cracking. If the vinyl or foam is pulled or stretched really far, the paint coud crack - but we plan to keep the wrestling to a minimum :love
 
Re: Wonder Woman WIP

Very well played indeed! My wife would have no problem dressing up in a costume I made her. I just need to find coatumes that go together that I'd like to make.
