SWC19 SWC22 Costume/cosplay thread

What are they made of? I'm very sorry, I fell asleep watching Solo and woke up barely seeing Enfys Nest. I'll have to watch it again. But... was this fan very expensive? not asking the price, but, if you are doing a very difficult outfit and it's looking good. do you think it would be worth getting another set made? the "ohhhs and Ahhs" from fellow fans and if you are entering the costume contest, audience applause, it will be worth the price. Think about this... years from now, when you are old, or at the (if Star Wars last that long) the 50th Anniversary of Star Wars, you can wear it again and it will be worth every cent well spent. a one time deal.

 

The fan detail looks almost like metal, I do hope you can get the package. I just saw the details and instructions for lines, no packages, bags etc. while your waiting in a sardine packed line? no sitting, no space between people, stand at attention until you get in! UGH, I will call both Reed and McCormick to see if Reed took the Cele.4 storage idea seriously, otherwise, where is everyone supposed to keep their belonging while entering the arena? A small coat check will not do it!

 

Paint job almost done.

 

Did anyone say why it was held up?

 

Love the helmet!

 

Thanks! I'll weather it. I was going back and forth with the idea at first, but then I messed up spray painting a bit, and it'll be a lot less hassle to cover it up with weathering than fixing it otherwise.

Hope the customs don't make a fuss and that your helmet arrives before Celebration!

 

Where did you order your things from? they seem to have a comprehension problem! Yes, that is a fine job on that helmet!

 

Sorry @Obi Anne, sounds like the powers are conspiring against you!

 

Obi-Ann, I finally have seen Enfys Nest costume! good grief it's complicated! Do you have a mechanism that makes the fans open and close? I do hope you can get your outfit together in time, if you do, your super woman! what an outfit.

 

The only two cosplays I’ve done were at 2010 and 2012’s Orlando Celebrations, where I dressed up as Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop. This year I’ll return to cosplaying at SWCC dressed as another non-GFFA character: Officer K from Blade Runner 2049.

BTW, if anyone is arriving on the 9th and looking to save on hotel room costs, please let me know. My Air BnB reservation recently got canceled and now I can’t find anything affordable fort he 9th to the 10th. I’ve got a place for the other nights.

 

Done! 3rd time the charm! I wasted a lot of material, but at least it's cheap fake leather. My sewing skills are in their infancy, and turns out there are no do-overs with leather-like materials. But hopefully this will do, I'll send Doc Aphra for approval tonight or tomorrow.

 

It's great that you'll be able to finish it properly!

The meme is on point. I'm trying to fix all the costumes I wanted but it may have been an overly ambitious plan. The large front buckle for Jaina Jedi belt ordered in late February (from China) has been sitting in Long Beach for 2 weeks now, due to customs. UPS can't deliver until it is cleared, but they are not sure what is causing the delay delay. It's just a small padded envelope... I can use something else, but that particular buckle is perfect.

The flight suit I commissioned (to fit RL standards) should have been finished mid-March, but it'll be mailed tomorrow. Hopefully should arrive in time. I lost hope for approval before the con, now I'm just hoping to be able to join Running of the Hoods without using the old, ill-fitting suit.

 

Looks like a fine job you've done! I will look forward to seeing you!

 

Looking good @Obi Anne!

 

Looks awesome! This loose interpretation of Amidala’s headpiece is driving me insane! Lol

 

This is going to be relevant to Jedi cosplayers; someone posted an answer from ReedPop about using ultrasabers, and apparently they are not permitted inside McCormick.
