Hello EVERYONE!!

How goes? I have desided to state a new topic page for Costuming. Duhh......lol

As everyone know that's what I do. A long with a couple others of you out there. I think this will be a good place to post idea, comments, photos, pointer...ect.

So anything you have out there on doing costumes let's have it. This page will be open to ALL costumes as well not just Star Wars. So "YES" Brandon you can talk about your little pirate suit thing you have. lol dancing

So everyone... have fun. Please let me know if anyone ever has a questions on costuming as well. I have done just a few. happy now and can answer must questions. If I can't, I'm sure I can find someone that can.

Enjoy!
TK

That should be fun!

If anyone out there has anything we can use to build this item please let us know. Items we are looking for? An old oven. That's right and old oven so we can gut the wires. lol

Anyone know anything about weilding? Just kidden' we're having that part done by the pro's. We are how ever looking for an old shop vac. We have one be donated but could use another. Let me know.

All so a gas powered generator? We need nothing fancy... just your basic. Anything we get is just stuff we do not have to buy. lol

So we'll keep you updated as we go.

SeeYa,
TK

So here the up date on the Bith suit I've been working on.

The mask ship on Tuesday. Hopefully well be here by the weekend. applause

I have the jacket in hand and well be doing some of the work on it tomorrow. The boots and pants are all set. The hand and lens are set as well. If I have the time and can get the air brushing done in time I may have it all set to go for the FCBD. So we'll have another costume someone can try out if they'd like . lol

I'll post some pic as soon as I have them up. I'll be working on the horn for the suit tomorrow as well. That's what Brandon well be doing. lol He does not know that yet. lol He thinks he's coming over to work on the new troop suit. Which we'll be doing as well.

Later,
TK

TK, sorry I didn't make it over to Concord yesterday. I forgot that I told Tony that I would help him work on his basement and that I had a play-date with the kids. If you want to come over later today to check out my armor (which I'm a little worried about the quality of the molds), that would be fine with me. Since you wont' be here on Sunday, I'd even give you a sneak-peek at the secret project I'm working on....

Nice pics! I have "flat tummy envy"!! Now that vacation is over I want to start Zam. I have a bike helmet that looks similar to the shape of her's. I'll start there, and wait for some funds to buy fabric. Does anyone have the Dressing the Galaxy? Evey picture I look at appears different, especially the color. I finally got my bro on the Dented Helmet, and he's going to help me with the blaster and the rifle. His hobby is gunsmithing, and he's got some great ideas. Although a 5 foot steel rifle barrel might be a wee bit heavy....

I would think some narrow PVC piping would work for the barrel. A little primer, paint, and weather, and you'd be all set without the weight of actual metal.

Brother brought me home a 50 cal shell for the blaster barrel. It matches up with the shape perfect. He's going to mark it and cut the top. We have a pretty good pic in the visual dictionary. Yah, I know the steel is out. He came up with another idea: the conduit tubes you would run wire through. We talked about pvc, too. He found the rifle stock in one of his catalogs, but I need to find a grip for the blaster.

The Princess armor got started this weekend. I made the ductape mannequin and drew out the shapes I wanted. The metal is waiting for me to feel a little less intimidated. How do you post pics? I tried a few different things, but couldn't figure it out.

Easiest way is to sign up for a free account on a picture site like photobucket, upload the pics there and then you can use the image button here to post the pic. If you want, PM me and email your pic, and I can post it up for you.

Thanks, I think I've figured it out.[image=http://http://photobucket.com/PRINCESSVADER73]
Yes, I decided not to let the metal stare me down all day, but the other pieces will have to wait. Can you believe my kids are hungry and expect me to cook when there is armor to be made....sheesh.
