FF:QLD Costume or Not?

*sigh*

I was referring to the Stargate Anubis... you know, the whole 'invisible cloud' thing...

 

LOL.

Oh and gumboots. Saw some at Big W!!!!!!

 

OMG @ Khali! You, maam, are an evil woman!

And btw, this is whom CCD Speaks:

Same guy, just older and crankier

Oh and thanbks Kahlan! Will look into that ASAP

 

...well how am I supposed to superimpose a head - marvins or otherwise - onto THAT?

 

I want some Gold Brooches preferably in the shape of the ones Padme wears in her pregnant-action-woman outfit ( as that's what I'm wearing. I guess that was obvious!)The one in the Padme action figure that is out.

Don't want to do the cut-out cardboad painted gold thing. Must be somewhere to get cheap nasty jewellery that you can alter. ACtually one of them is more like a belt buckle.

I should look harder at my second hand stores, or Kleins or something..but if someone has any other ideas, let me know.

 

I might print that ROTS logo onto a t-shirt. Gotta do something.

 

Kahli, there's always the BBQ photos you could find CCD pics at.

 

My t-shirt, that I made last night turned out awesome!!

(Although, a tad too big .)

 

Costume complete!
Anyone know how to stretch cheap vinyl knee high boots so the circulation in one's leg continues ??

 

Nup.

In a word.

 

...lend them to a Pro Wrestler?

"And here we have the Rock, about to do his signature move, the people's elbow, on the struggling Triple H... this one's over for sure! Oh, wait! The Rock's slipped over in his new boots! Triple H has recovered and look out! The Rock loses! But the lady in the front row looks happy enough!"


Eh. I've got nothing.

 

well..thanks for caring anyhoo

Might ask this in this thread, rather than the one I just read it in:

What costumes do we have in our group?

I'm Padme in the Sleeveless action outfit.
Agent Sith ( which should look cool )

and.....

 

Casual is a Jedi (you could call him Mace).

 

Damn its been a while since I've visited these boards.

I'm going as Anakin, same as I did for AOTC. This time it'll be Episode 3 Anakin, so the costume is darker and cooler. The only thing I won't have is the long hair.

Friend of mine is coming as Sidious.

Hope to see ya's all there!

 

I'm coming as Generic Background Jedi Extra #3. With blue lightsabre.

 

I'm coming along as Generic Background Sith Lord with authentic Qld FanForce Whacking Stick.

 

Oh no! The Return of the Stick!

Or wait, should that be Revenge of the Stick?

 

Despite Gooba's statements to the contrary, I won't actually be dressed as Mace Windu for the premiere. Mainly because I don't want to shave my head, but also because I prefer my green lightsaber as opposed to my purple one. So I too will be attending as Generic Background Jedi. I finished my outfit last week, and it's totally complete from the tunic, pants, belt and cloak, to the gumboots and saber.

I drew the patterns to the outfit up myself, and got a seamstress to sew it all together for me. All up the exercise took about 2 weeks working time, and cost me less than $100. Which is a mere pittance when compared to the $250 I spent for AOTC, and nearly $400 that I spent for TPM. Despite doing it 'on the cheap', this outfit has turned out to be is my best effort yet. Bring on the premiere!

 

I have seen said costume, it is indeed excellent.

I have almost finalised my costume, I only need to aquire some glasses. I have two picked out that I will decide on tomorrow.

As for Agent Sith's weapon, I had looked at the Clone Troopers' blaster, but it's a bit big to put inside an Agent's suit.
I have an idea that will come as a surprise to many...a nice blend of Matrix and Star Wars...








Anybody who's seen the awesome fan film "Art of the Saber" are three quarters the way to guessing... Too much information would be to say Asajj Ventress... oops I just said it. If you've figured it out, don't spoil it until you see me at RotS.

 

Hey Gooba, I actually had a pair of Agent Smith glasses - an actual replica of the type he wears in Matrix Reloaded, that I bought off the 'net. Unfortunately I broke them.

But I did get the oppotunity to dress up in my business suit (black - agent smith style ), slicked my hair back and put on the glasses. My sister said I looked cool.

 

sith costume... what is the best way to make a really cool looking one?

 

Find a suitably large amount of black material, and the appropriate Simplicity sewing pattern - design #5840 will have patterns for a hooded and cowled cloak and an under-tunic. Get measured up as needed, and have a seamstress or tailor make it for you. The catch is, you may well have left it a little too late. Good luck with getting it done though.

 

I'm going as a rogue Knight of the New Jedi Order, hailing from Corellia - ie., I get to wear black, trimmed in green. NJO Knights seem to be allowed to wear black. And a black fitted cloak, if I get it finished in time.
Got the black tall leather boots, not the best, but passable.
Sabres are being machined up as we speak. Kinda freaking out about my blade situation though, definitely won't be able to make the blades I wanted in time. Hoping to get at least some semblance of them happening though.
Oh, and I made/am making my costume myself: gi, tabbard, cloak, and belts. Total cost about $20. (Boots $50ish). Sewing machine: $25!

 

going as random jedi number #278302...with a blue saber also may get a purple one 2 if i have the cash

 

I found out how to stretch leather boots....

find a piece of wood that is the same (or near enough) diameter of the boot and spilt it in half (the wood not the boot lol) find a long thin wedge of wood and well... wedge it in between the two pieces of wood until the whole lot is tight against the boot (make sure that is not too tight otherwise the boot splits) leave for a day and keep on moving the wedge and leaving it until desired boot width is acchieved.
