So CO [SCJ] The Costuming & Props Thread

And if anyone else wants I can help them with their technique too.

I can use help. since i have no technique!

and twi'lek? the costumes ideas are endless!


HEY ZOOM, when everyone was researching stuff for the Xwing pilots, did you happen to come across anything for Awing pilots? especially the Chest box?

 

Hmm...nope. I thought it was the same box?

 

what little i have been able to find shows that its different. Im still looking. Im going to go watch ROTJ so i can confirm it. Ive read some stuff that is a car amp.

Im also looking at trying to do a helmet. but thats gonna be horrorible to figure out.

 

Hi kids. This is a scan of the ober expensive cloth from hobby lobby. Forgive the size of the peice it was "liberated" by a co-worker and smuggled out in my wallet. I decided not to drop anything for the way my bos acted towards jen. instead i picked up a vase an accidently ripped the handles off, $250 oops.

Its actully a bigger peice,photobucket must have shrank it down.If the detail is not good enough I can rescan a section and post it.

 

I will have to take another look at that Muslin in person. I know it's a painful $13/yd, but that puts a Tusken robe at $40. That's...really...not that bad. Hrm?

 

I still have it, if you wanna look. I have next wens day off ,so if you guys are having the costuming stuff I can maki it and stop on by.

 

Don't you get a discount? Does Hobby Lobby do price match or coupons? That would help a lot.

I want to do a female tuskin and I don't even care if it's not done by C3? I just think it's an awsome costume, you know how cool it would look on a dummy in our SW room?

 

yeah,but is only 15%,so after tax its eally only a 7.5% discount. So the cloth would still be 13.86 a yard.

I dont belive they do price matching and the only sale items are in the add. They have the occasional coupon on the website,but its mostly for flowers or crafts stuff.

 

looking forward to making costumes with all of you guys! ^_^ It's adult dressup, only BETTER!

I can teach you pattern drafting and draping. I know both very well.

 

hey sarah. I printed the hat patterns out. they done seem to be to the same scale. the visor is huge! I may be PMing for some 911 advicesince I am going to buy the stuff to do the mock up this weekend.

 

man, we have the mad costumin skilz, dont ya know...this is gonna be great!

and I want a Tusken before C3, Kimmay! You can wait til after for yours if ya wanna.

 

I still have some interest in my KOTOR era costuming idea. Might have to work on that sometime.

 

Lord Zoom, what is the plan for this Wednesday...hows Rachel feeling?


If we had to, we could do it at my house. My mom luvs you all!


Really want to get started on modifying the night sister pics.

 

Hey All

As far as we go, we are waiting to know when and where you are going to get the leather(ZooM). I know we all need to update belts and spats, also my armour and maybe Zil Qui as the 4th rancor keeper. As far as prices on REALLY Cheap and ugly green for our robes. I will try and get that tommorrow. I have some ideas as far as days to do what lets get all the sowing out of the way 1st or a close 2nd. All the leather actually takes time and patience to do right so we don't waste it. I CAN'T WAIT.......I'm so HAppy.............. Later days...

 

I'll see if I can make it to a Wed night session. I'm not supposed to be travelling a lot right now (part of the catch of mom and dad taking me back in ) But I'll try

 

We are on for Wednesday at our place, anyone who needs distructions to get there, pm myself or josh or Jennay.



Probably will start about 5:30 or so...there might be a run to a shop with fabric for toga fabric and recon.

YAY!! I can breathe again!!!

Sorry, really happy about that. Or the coffee is making me happy, since I haven't had any in over a WEEK. [face_jittery]

 

Hey All

HMMMMMM Super Low on funds so don't know if I will have anything to sow on. But I will come and lend a hand if needed. Do you need another Sowing machine?? Let me know. Later Days...

 

I probably won't get home on Wednesday until 6:30-ish if I go into the office.

At the moment, I don't know of anything that's ready to be worked on except figuring out what some of us are doing for togas.

 

Toga, the easiest thing to sew I think that was the very first costume I ever did all by myself. My class was studying Greece and we had a Toga party at the end of the chapter.

 

Togas eh?
Well I am very interested in comming on Wed. Need to get my fabric still and am working till 5, plus I'll be needing a ride. Maybe I can ride with ya RDT (rachel) when you go get your fabric. PM me for info or get my number from Josh or Chico. Am strained myself for cash (end of the simester blues) but I think I can spare a bit for fabric, and I can help out/learn anyway.

See ya at the Hizouse tomorrow!... I mean today hehe

 

Can't make it tonight Got a meeting I need to go to.

Next Wed there will be a session too though right? I'll put it on my calender so I won't have anything else to do

 

heya Death...do you have our number?

If so, give me a call when you get off and if it's too cold to walk, we can prolly come get you. No problem on the ride either.

There's ALWAYS money for costuming. that's what plasma's for.

otherwise, pm me and I'll give you the house #.

 

I

about



this



all



frelling



day!!!!!!!!!!




I've been sketching, and thinking, and mulling, and all that super fun stuff you do during the research & development stage.


We could do a lot of great stuff down here.


So far:


Rancor and Keepers


Nightsisters


Tie Pilots


Tuskens


Mon Calamari (well, P-Josh, anyway)


and the list goes on and on...my work is willing to sponsor us in whatever ways they can. We dont sell fabric, (boo-frelling-hoo) but we do have contacts for plastics and I can use most of the tools we have for prop making.

So...what are we waiting for? Lets take over the world...
