Just to throw a little spin on things, here's a preview of what I'm working on for Halloween this year.
I present... Steampunk Starlord:

Still a bit of work to do, but I think I'll have it ready for parties this coming weekend.
That looks awesome! I can't wait to see the full costume. I'd also love to see more detail shots!
I've modified the Marvel Legends to add the side LED, replaced the lenses with scored lenses from my XCoser (pic is before painting and with stock light source intact), LED light strips to create the ring around the eyes (and blue filters behind for visibility), and painted with a charcoal metallic finish. Very happy with the result.

Ok, people that have had success getting the Marvel Legends helmet taken apart and reassembled. I was replacing my lenses, and putting this thing back together is (as others have mentioned) a mild challenge. In particular, I’m having issues getting the face plate reattached at the bottom. It seems like there’s something in the way of getting mask to sit flush and reattach to the mounting points. I worked at this for the better part of an hour before giving up.
Anyone out there have some advice on what I’m doing wrong? I’m hoping there’s a trick I’m just stupidly missing on getting this to work out!
I have been slowly but surely assembling my vol. 2 costume and it is finally close to completion. I still need blasters, holsters, necklaces, and a few little details but aside from that it looks great! My jacket is from USA jacket and is extremely nice. I was a little skeptical but it came out as a perfect fit and looks fairly accurate for the price. I got the shirt from hjackets.com. The pants aren’t very accurate but they look the part for now and I got those from eBay here: https://m.ebay.com/itm/MENS-ARMORED...hash=item58b16e2b26:m:mW0lAKS9AJi-ZDpBXL-Glfw https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171117/4ff3a2202c4d672e12bc00a2ec772053.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171117/e99315ccd6b0b9c750a91fc0a5d2e9b8.jpg Here is a close up look at the shin guards. The back black piece was made of leather we dyed black and the front was made two layers of craft foam with some mesh glued on either side for some added texture. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171117/ae08362c8e1a85d260825f42b6edfb9d.jpg The belt we made by hand using leather and used a medium brown leather dye. The center buckle was made of leather as well and painted silver with a bit of rub and buff. The triangular rings on either side of the buckle were made of magic sculpt which is an excellent sculpting material that is cheap, hardens quickly and can be sanded after gardening. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171117/e23f5b5e6414e282b5449e920677cf8c.jpg I don’t have boots or boot covers yet as well as necklaces, blasters, and holsters so if any of you have any ideas on where to get some that would be awesome.
