Costuming Thread
 

Okay so I know I had my Rey thread but you know, I thought it would be better to have a general one, especially since I'm working on something new along with my rey costume.

Disclaimer: I got a template from the Russian Mandalorian Clan and altered slightly for my size, but here it is:

As you can tell I'm a huge Star Wars fan. This has been something I've been wanting to make for awhile.

Wow. That is very cool.

Can't wait to see how this turns out

Thanks Wolfie!
You inspire me, actually.
Thank you! It's my first time doing something such as this so I am a bit nervous.

Possible paint job design for my bucket.

you should paint it all gray and add aluminum foil to it then let it age then add the rest of the paint

You're really into Star Wars aren't you?

Can't wait to see how you Rey costume turns out as well.

Nah that wouldn't stay very well, sorry..
Love Star Wars. Always have. Life of the secret nerd- and thank you.

I love that

DAMN NICE.
u should take it off and show ur bootiful face 2.

Looks nice. Reminds me of those nice helmets from Infinity Blade.

O. M. G. I want one!!!

oh my god haha i love this!

Nope. You'd be rather disappointed, I think.
I just looked it up, those look pretty cool. But the helmet is based off Boba Fett's from Star Wars.
You can honestly learn to make your own, it's actually really fun. This is my first time doing it. It's a pain in the arse in time but I hope it'll be worth it.
Thanks Emera! <3

Omg that's insane, how long did it take you?

I'm so sorry I just saw this. I think it took me about two days of just sitting and glueing, plus waiting for things to dry.

My next project is a character very special to me. She's insane and wonderful. I'll finish Rey and my Mando when I can, but Bella is a priority because of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Whooo let's see if I can actually get this done given my time constraints.

The corset was frankly a pain in the ass to make fitted. And carving the wand was just generally a pain as I've never done anything like that before. Still need to stain it the right colour though.

That. Is. Really. Awesome. :0

Thank you!

Update!

Still need to stain the wand. At least it's in one piece now, though.

I care keep up the good work it is really all coming together looks nice :)

Thank you for the compliment and the support. I hope this turns out well :D

Corset and wand holster are now one piece. Still yet to do the back lacing part. Need the grommets to do it properly. Thoughts?

that's so freaking awesome

Thank you!

This is pretty awesomrme stuff! Im really interested in and curious how the finished version of that helmet will look and exactly how you achieved making something like that?

Did you record yourself making it at all? If not, you should start doing so as im sure that people would find some of these things helpful/informative/interesting. Could possibly even create a following from doing so.. ?

Also, get that wand stained already! I wanna see how closely it resembles the original! Though, i will say from the picture you showed.. the tip doesnt seem to match up that well in smoothness/roundness.. and the end/tip area looks to me like it could be thinned out a bit more to help replicate the original.

First off, thank you so much. As for the helmet, I'll say I got a template online. If you have a design in mind from a fairly well known film, game, or book franchise, you can often find templates if you search (name) pepakura template. After assembly (to where I got it to) you'd most commonly fiber glass-resin it to harden it and then put bondo on it. Bondo can make it lose detail so you have to be careful, as well as the possibility of cracking, etc.

Also I'd recommend sculpting and casting if you want something with more detail, ie. the Black Panther helmet from Civil War.

After Bondo, it's kind of up to you how you want to go around painting. I'm probably going to primer it, base coat, and then do the painting, and then battle damage. Unfortunately so far I haven't filmed myself doing anything. :(

For the wand, Unfortunately it isn't as accurate as I'd hoped for. I don't have the natural resources or tools to make it screen accurate as it's the first time I've done something with wood. I'll be sure to post more when I stain it.

If possible, you should make two. One in pristine condition, then another one where the battle damage and scratches are set into the bondo a little bit. (Like take a screw driver and make gouges in it) Would have more depth and prolly look alot better than just paint imo.

Oh sorry if I didn't make it clear that the bondo process would also include the battle damage. As far as paint I meant like the layers of paint over metal, a bit of the skid and peeling texture. But two runs would be a fun idea if I have time.

Further progress on Bellatrix, no where near done though.

Apparently some aren't able to see it, so reposting. Thanks for the heads up.

Fae that's awesome!

Looking amazing :) the pose also helps bring the costume to life in a way haha

damn

show your face
(:

Thanks Nanners! :D
Haha, thank you!
;))))))
I'll spare you that tragedy.

She already did before I think but I know she kinda looks like asian or something.. I'm sorry if I sounded rude.

Can we maybe. It worry about seeing her face/what she looks like, and focus on the point of this thread?

The corset looks lovely, Fae. And the wand. I'm not entirely sure what this costume is from, but it is nice!!

I hate to be that person, but if I'm not willing to show what I look like can we not discuss it? Thanks.
Thanks Mangsi, really appreciate it. The costume is from Harry Potter :)

Ah, okay. That's what I thought but I wasn't 100% sure. I can't wait to see the final outcome!!

It's coming together! :D

Heyyyyy, I'll post more updates when my mask comes in because I'm super lame.

lazy bum

;( That hurts, from you.

If I ever become an actor, can I pay you 20 dollars to make my costumes?
