	First off: [face_thumbs_up] Good choice on going with the (one-and-only) Original Dune stillsuit. That's going to be a helluva project. I don't specifically remember what the Thumpers looked like, but I seem to recall some kind of long tube with a pistoning action. I know of a couple of specific plumbing pipes with the proper diameters that could simulate that. If you can get a couple of good reference pictures, and specific dimensions, I might be able to help. Other than me, I would recommend asking the geniuses who hang out in the Lightsaber Forums. They find, adapt, or build all kinds of materials (pipes/tubes/etc) to do what they do, and some might even already have reference pics. -----signature----- Caught at a crossroads....

	pokes head into thread So, I had to drop my costuming habit for a while due to unemployment. But now that I'm a member of the workforce again (and working more overtime than you can shake a stick at), I think it's definitely time to start costuming again. My sewing machine will get here in a week! I'm so excited. Definitely making: Zayne Carrick (KOTOR Comics) Giselle's blue dress (Enchanted) Thinking about: Belle's ballroom gown Padme's lake gown Eowyn's shieldmaiden gown ...and many, many more! I can hardly wait to start sewing again. -----signature----- Complements (KOTOR)- http://boards.theforce.net/before_the_saga/b10475/21177927/ Luminosity- http://boards.theforce.net/before_the_saga/b10475/27900517/ Barefoot hippie in the OC revolution Master of the lovely and talented SoA

	luminousbeing78 posted: I've been working on "Willie Scott" for a while now, so I thought I'd post some progress pics: The Shoes--the heel is a little higher than I'd like, but the price was right (ebay) and they aren't as uncomfortable as they look: [image=[IMG http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x273/luminousbeing78/100_1969.jpg [/IMG]] The gloves--gold and red stretch satin covered in sequin trim (I actually wore then as I sewed the trim on!) [image=[IMG http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x273/luminousbeing78/100_1968.jpg [/IMG]] The dress: about 15% complete. The sleeves have been sequined, but not attached yet. The beaded trim that wraps around the neck and bodice area is not finished yet---it will have to be hand-sewn on later, anyway. Lots to do!!!! [image=[IMG http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x273/luminousbeing78/100_1964.jpg [/IMG]] Good news--my can can dress won 1st place in the adult category of the Simplicity costume contest! I used simplicity patterns for the corset and the skirt, and entering it in a contest made me particularly careful in the construction process LOL. It's my first 1st place win, and just the boost I needed to really get to work! Plus, the prize money will come in handy when prepping for DC... Wow, that looks really really good! Guess that's a lot of sewing by hand I just completed the front of the peacocktail myself: It contains 325 feathers so far, and i got to do the backside too. On the photo you can see a clear difference between the fake and real feathers, but in reality it isn't that bad.

	Oh, I have found very funny photo. It was my first experience with sewing. I was 12-13 years old, and I have sewed this dress, without suspecting that now with passion I will try to make replica costumes from movies. Here I a little fuller. Now I am similar Natali, as any another.My doctor said,that I too young and my face will change about 2 years.

	Okay, I decided to do this costume around February and only completed in late May for our local License2Play 2009 Event : Young Athena Sasha from Saint Seiya The Lost Canvas More can be seen HERE It's still ~85% Completed as I still need the proper boots (am wearing my Army Combat Boots here), Green Contacts and getting the Staff repaint all-Gold but can hang it up for now. Next on the list will be Hypnos and Alone from the same series, apart from completing my Biker Scout and Hufflepuff School Robe by end of July....I hope! And I need to get a new Rebel-related costume done by August for the Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention. Need something to wear to troop for awhile with the Malaysian Rebel Legion members who'll be coming down this Aug for the event as Singapore dun have a Rebel Outpost yet. -----signature----- SUPPORT THE SG LOTR TRILOGY EE MARATHON PETITION! http://www.petitiononline.com/sglotr/petition.html Admiral Eagle Power's Star Destroyer: http://darthmaulgirl.tripod.com/sw.htm Singapore SW FanForce http://boards.theforce.net/board.asp?brd=10185
