Another costume build parallel to my Dark Souls project. As if I had not enough to do, but alas lets get started.
Now, a little bit about my favourite costume. Back when I was pretty young my uncle showed me this old film. Star Wars "A New Hope". And with that I was hooked. The space ships, the lightsabers, Darth Vader. It is quiet obvious that from that point on I was a big Star Wars Fan. But one thing really stayed with me. The Tusken Raider.
The costume is as genius as it is simple and recognisable. A few years back when I was starting out with prop building and cosplaying I build myself a Tusken Raider Costume. Now by my standards nowadays it is pretty simple and rough, but back then I was pretty proud of it.
After a few times I had worn it on conventions, it sadly stated to fall apart and went into storage.
But it never really left my mind. And a few months back I got the "itch" and started planing for a new and improved, accurate Tusken Raider.
The first part I have tackled is the mask. It is build from the "Godzilla Tusken Raider Mask Kit". It is pricy but said to be the best.
I have to say, building it was a real treat. Everything fit well and the metal parts are beautiful and make the whole thing feel "real".
The finished mask is really close to the original, so close even it may be hard to distinguish it from the original.
The mask is held on my head by a cut down bicycle helmet. It is reasonable comfortable and holds on pretty stable.
