Costume Thread

Thought I would post this thread seeing as the conversations about costumes are all over the place right now. I'll post the last few messages regarding the costumes here also.

 

Welshguy, both of those boots could be modified..yeah. AS Anakins boots look like they have whats called spats over the top of plain boots, in fact Obi Wans does too...though they might be built in.
Damn does this mean i have to buy the big full size Anakin poster just to study the costume....oh poor me.

No need to go out and waste your money on nasty old Anakin, Sakara. Thought this might help both of us.

yep same here man and i was going to look at getting a dark jedi costume made not much change now i got no cash

 

good idea

 

yeah seems it was becoming the theme of the other thread lol!!..

 

yer i did only change i have to make a costume now is to lean to saw but i cant do that as no one i know has a sewing mechne so i stand no chance

 

Taking a look at Anakin's ep3 costume, it would seem that I have quite a bit of work to make my ep2 cosutme anywhere near this level.

Hell, I don't even have trousers!

The dark grey/black arms could be quite a challenge, considering that the ones I have now are dark brown.

It might almost be worth me scraping the ep2 costume and starting again. The only thing I could salvage are the tabbards (which I made) and the belt.

Trust me...its brown black...that tone value is odd in that pic, i think it might have something to do with the saber colouration.

that page shows the exhibit photos, and under flash you can see it still has a brown tone.. You could add a charcoal grey wash using a dylon cold dye to the brown/black tunic.it would make the brown a cold brown not a warm brown as it is in ep2.

 

This is what i wear when fighting monsters

Hey Welshguy, you were after places that do good fake facial hair
heres the tow i was thinking of
http://www.screenface.com/beards.asp
and
http://www.charlesfox.co.uk/home.html

they both make and sell to theatre and film companies. Ive seen the stuff at screen face and its good.the hair is attached to latex backing so once blended to the skin is very real looking.

 

Thanks for the links Sakara. I never realised that fake beards were so expensive!

Sod it, the lazy git can just grow one.

I can't believe that after all my digging I didn't manage to find one and you come along with your "in depth" knowledge and find two straight away!

Now thats impressive!

Nobody has yet bid on those boots I was telling you about by the way. There is just over a day left! Fingers crossed.

 

Oh good luck with those boots they should work.

 

i would love to bid on this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7524304323&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

but the payment is what get me

matters Shipping and Handling

- Worldwide Registered Airmail with Tracking is £15 Flat.

- Delivery takes 12-15 days.

- Cloak/robe is new, mint and sealed in plastic cover.

- Item will be pack inside a box for better protection.

- Full refund if item is lost during shipping.

- Express shipping (EMS) takes 2-4 working days at £25 (optional).

if i could find someone closer to wales to make one i would be a lot happy

 

Ah shipping from Singapore does take a while, but for that price its not abad bargain. I can make robes but in that material , if its right then your talking a bit of money.Id charge around £60 for basic heavy fabric...that may not be the right kind.As theres hell of lot of fabric in a jedi/sith robe.

 

arr i bet start saving the pennys then lol unless i can get a discount for being a forum member

 

that is discount lol...I wish i could charge less, but i dont make crappy robes..out of crappy fabric. It wouldnt ruin my credibility as a costumier if i went down that path....but i will start to look into the actual costs of making a robe...seeing as im making one for myself anyway.

 

thanks that would be a great help and i better start looking for the pennys

 

Lookey what I won! So, what do you think you could do with those Sakara?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4556581722&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

 

very nice welsh

 

Alot can be done with them from the photo, I could cover the design with the over design Anakin has...this of course would mean getting tough leather or good synthetic leather. also colour it to look a worn black/brown.
I cant do anything till at least a week from now but after that no problem.

 

Hey Sakara

have u had a chance to price up how much a sith robe would cost as i just rember that i am getting some money from work and would be intersed in getting one made

 

I currently have the following costumes: Ghostbuster, Han Solo, Ash (from Evil Dead), Indiana Jones

 

It seems that you could be getting a bit of business from us Welsh posters Sakara.

Good to keep it in the family I say.

I will be in contact regarding those boots very soon.

Just in case anyone is intersted, I currently have the following costumes.

Anakin (ep2)
Neo (Reloaded)
Indian Jones (never worn!)
Spike
Many masks such as Subulba, Wotto, Jar Jar, 3PO etc.

But if we are going to play this game, I think it's safe to say that Sakara is going to win!

 

i am looking at getting my fisrt costume i agree gte the costume making in wales suppourt look work

 

Now now Master_Sith, you should never drink and post. It's a dangerous game your playing. Someone could get hurt!



So what costume were you thinking of making first?
