Buff, NY Costumes

I am buying some of the crimson empire comic books to get more ideas on how they look.

 

Jason Don't buy them I have them. I have a large about of Star Wars Comics.

Edit:
As for the vacume table I will not be making it till summer. More then likely.

 

Hey guys, took me a bit to find this thread.

I'm not sure if anyone is still interested (Stormtrooprs, Royal Guards, etc), but Radio Shack in Canada is soon going to have those black voice amps that are sought after so badly in the Imperial costuming community.

Here is the link, it is $49.99 CDN, so a bit less for Americans. The site says "sold out", but that is just because they haven't got them in yet.

I will let you know more as I talk to the stores in the area, but I'd be willing to help grab some for whoever needs them.

 

Thanks for the update Graeme. Grab them while you can. These amps are becoming hard to come by.

 

let me know i would like to get one

 

Soon...

Awesome Gil!

 

Nice!

 

I cant wait for the winter fabric to come out so i can make my royal guard costume. I still need the plastic for the eyes if guys know where i can get it?

 

I bought a pair of boots at The Sportsman's Guide for $50.00. I can't wait until they come in. My journey towards making a Sith Lord costume has begun. Next step, the curved lightsaber.

If you guys need belt's or supplies for G&W - please let me know soon if I can help you out. I am already working on the Food Pellet run so if I have to plan for anything else I am going to need some time. I already know about the belt for Lisa (have to order the stuff - I need a waist size from you Lisa ) and some people have mentioned the Food Pellets. I got you guys covered for Covertec Clips and Covertec Knobs for sabers - just get with me if you need those supplies.

On a slight down note - I put my Jedi costume on last night and it shrank big time from last year - so I am going to have to have a new costume regardless - kind of sucks in a way - I am holding out hope that my Luke is going to get done but it will be tight.....

Jason - I remember seeing a run of lenses on the rpf not too long ago - if you are not a member and want me to try to dig up some info for you on prices and such - drop me a PM and I will see what I can find out.

If I can help any one else out at all - please let me know

I think Larry picked up the film for the lenses at Great Lakes Plastics.

 

I'm going to Home Depot Wednesday night before I go to the 7:30 showing of "Kill Bill: Volume 2" at what used to be the Thruway Mall on Walden near Harlem to scout out materials for my curved lightsaber hilt.

I consulted with my in-house seamstress , (just to inflate her ego), she suggested 5 yards. Does it look like the fabric that Lisa and I have?


Shawn got his boots! Awesome! Get crackin on the costume.

 

What kind of boots did you get shawn?

 

They're Black Wolverine Weelington Boots. They are 10" high and look very much like Darth Maul's boots, except Maul's boots are more rounded at the end where the toes are. And my boots look very nice with my black Docker's. I'll bring them to the next meeting.

Thats a sweet lookin pair of boots. I had a couple pair of the regular Wolverine Work Boots and they were real comfortable to wear.

I switched over to Magnum boots, which I wore last year at G&W, and they are also a real comfortable pair of boots.

If they are leather boots you may want to consider a spray on waterproofer just to be safe - it won't hurt the boot at all

Dave

 

I plan on waterproofing them tonight. Thanks for the advice.

The Wolverine Wellington Boots I bought are at: Sportman's Guide

Hey everyone!
JoAnn Fabrics is going out of business / moving clearance sale on Transit near the Eastern Hills Mall, with everything 40 -50 % off. Haven't been in the store yet and considering we have been off on vacation, I hope that the clearance sale is still on. I need to get my purple fabric for my Mara Jade cape for G&W. I should be getting my EL Park Mara saber very soon! I cannot wait! I traded in my other one for it.

So you think 5 yards would be good for the cape Master? Geez, you WILL be my master once again: Anakin-Obi and Mara-Emperor. Did we plan this?

 

WOOO HOOO, FINALLY I'm done putting my cooling fans in my bucket. WHAT A PAIN IN THE !!! But its done, and let me tell ya they really work. No more foggy lens and I hope that helps out the condensation in my bucket. We'll see at the DVD release.

 

Lisa, I used 5 yards for my Guard costume. You might be able to get away with a little less.
