Getting the final touches on my costume for a party on the 27th.
I decided to go the “Captain Kirk” route and picked up the Season One velour shirt and season 1 / season 2 pants from Anovos.
The pants are being picked up from the tailor, today, and the boots were on a month long trip from China to to the US and were released from customs in LA a day or so ago...it’s anyone’s guess as to whether they will get here on time. :wacko
I also pre-ordered the Season 1 Utility Belt from Anovos but that will obviously not be here in time. With very little time left, and business travel tightening the timetable, I decided to whip out a quick, but accurate looking, mid-season 1 utility belt.
I went to Hobby Lobby, last night, and picked up $2.25 of their upholstery-grade textured leatherette and 2 packs of sticky back sewing Velcro. I was going to break out my wife’s sewing machine, but then I thought that since this is only meant to be a temporary solution, for one costume party, that maybe just using “Super 77” to stick this thing together would work.
After measuring, cutting, and folding the seams, I sprayed “Super 77” in place of thread and slapped this together in under an hour.
It actually looks really accurate to the originals with only some very minor differences in details.
All in, my cost was roughly $7.00. No bad
The props are build-ups of John Long kits.
