Hello everybody! Just found this thread about a week ago, and I've finally gone through all of the posts. What great work guys & gals!!! 1st time cosplayer myself, working on my Starlord GOTG v1/v2 hybrid costume for NYCC in a few weeks. It's hybrid because it's gotten pretty tough to find v1 stuff and I CANNOT make that jacket myself :lol
I'm making my own pants, to the best of my (limited) ability and on a TIGHT budget. I'm having a very hard time getting info on what is below the striped pattern in the front, there are many discrepancies I've come across... did he wear two different versions of pants in the 1st movie? The best closeup I have is a photo of the hot toys figure, but it looks very different below the stripes compared to other photos I've seen, especially the ones early in the thread of the actual costume on display.
I'm trying to make the spats myself but am having a really tough time... #1 does anyone have a template they can share? #2 I'm using pleather from Hobby Lobby, and it's VERY supple (aka flimsy)... how can I stiffen it up a bit, is there something I can adhere to its fuzzy (loose felt?) backing?
Thanks in advance guys, and thank you for this amazing thread!!!
