PAX TICKETS ARRIVED!!!!!!!
Ok, now that that's out of my system, I just stopped working on cosplay for the day and thought it was time for some progress photos :-)First up, raw cut pieces of armor (sorry it's dark!) -
These will soon be sanded, bent, scored (for battle-worn-ness), and painted. I'm using PVC Foam board, I believe it 1/4 of an inch thick. It will be heated with a heat gun (gives me more control).
Second up, the dress (it's somewhat janky here, but just keep reading)
This was so hard to sew. At first I tried just using a second dress as lining. Made the mistake of NOT taking the second dress a part, just tried to work around it. Yeah, sewed the whole thing, realized it was wrong, took everything a part.
Third, the jacket!
Spandex was not as hard to sew as I thought it would be. I tried reading up and got all these great tips, but, for what I was doing, a lot of stuff just wasn't necessary. I used black polyester thread with a zigzag stitch with the machine set to stretch. Worked like a charm!
And now, the partially finished look!
Put it all together and so far so good I think. Now for the fabricating! I don't typically do armor so wish me luck!
Also, who else is going to PAX? Anyone want to talk some cosplay shop?
