Niagara, ON YJN Special Interest Costume Group

Ok so yes we are a Star Wars fan. But many of us enjoy things outside oft he world of Star Wars. I know for a fact several people have expressed interest in costuming outside of Star Wars.

I myself am Really Really Really wanting to make a full Ghostbusters Outfit.

I just wanted to know if anyone else has any wishes to create other costumes and if other people would like to discuss ideas.

Any takers?

 

I make anime costumes. It's the only kind of costume that I make by myself.

 

Well, there's this Lord Of The Rings convention coming up next December, and I already have the patterns and material to do an Eowyn and an Arwen costume...

 

Like Laurie, I am also looking to make a LOTR costume

I'd be intrested.

 

Jim (or is it Bobby?):

Look here for a Ghostbusters costume discussion.

 

Another good place to check would be the [link="http://www.rpf.prop-planet.com]Replica Props Forum[/link]. I know some of the people on those boards have made everything from the traps to the proton packs to the jumpsuits.

Hope that helps and good luck!

 

I am looking to make a Mike Nelson and/or Joel Robinson costume, complete with the bots

 

Sounds really cool!!! I know I am planning to try my hand at the "Dark Magician" form Yu-Gi-Oh for Mike for Halloween.

 

Not that I am YJN

Well I want an Aragorn costume...for now

 

Anime North is coming up and i gotta get finished my stuff ^_^

Dark Magician, cool. Too bad I'm too modest to wear a Dark Magician Girl costume, although it's not much worse than a skating dress. Maybe I could do Mystical Elf or Witch of the Black Forest...

(ok, now you know I'm a little too obsessed with Yugioh)

Many of you have seen my first attempt at a generic Elf dress...

 

Even though I am not as interested in LOTR as many others, I would like to make a Ringwraith costume. Once we get a vacuforming table done.

 

Actually, the costume I'd most like to replicate is McGonnigal's from Harry Potter, I would have loved to be one of the extras from Diagon Alley. That or one of Marian's dresses from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. I've already made a Gone With the Wind costume a few times. You should have seen me skating in a carnival wearing a hoopskirt! I just had a hard time getting on and off the ice.

 

What Ringwraith parts do you need made using a vaccuform table, Graeme?....the horse?

 

The armour - the legs and the arms.

 

Why a Ringwraith? You should do a hobbit costume you already have hobbit hair

lol, id be happy with some kind of monster from monsters inc, got the hard hat already, got a spare if someone wants to trade or something for it. if anyone wants to go that route. I got them direct from disney, since I work in the building they have offices in and I randomly get neat stuff.

 

COOL! What kind of other stuff have you got??

 

well not too much right now, demo movies which are full movies but have a warning across the bottom, thats how i got reign of fire and Jay and silent bob strikes back, I gave lots of these away before but you might of knew this cuss I brought one of them with me to the wine parade. Got a got a peter pan treasure chest (cardboard) sitting on my Monsters inc locker(cardboard and metal) and tucked inside is the talking mike wasowski I got from them. I gave away the monsters inc game of life I got. I also got a face hugger alien car window suction toy here somewhere.

 

LOL @ Kazama. Graeme definatly has Hobbit hair

Ideally I'd like the following Costumes;

Generic Jedi maybe, Episode 2 Anakin, Episode 6 Luke And Strider/Aragorn...for now

 

LOL he does have hobbit hair
I'm aiming to do a LOTR one for the convention in December, an Arwen or an Eowyn - I have a few favourites!

 

I'm glad sewing is a stress release for me, or I'd be going crazy... but you should see my bedroom... material, patterns, half finished costumes and dresses spilling out of the closet, sewing machine parts all over the place, odds and ends wherever I can find a place to set them down... I need a two bedroom appartment just to make one of the rooms a sewing room! (My mom always had one in our house)

 

My LOTR costume wil have to wait for spetember. I have a temp SW one so my efforts will be placed on working on a GB costume for the summer.

 

well, I had to make a Snow White costume for work (dress up day) and it wasn't bad, you can tell it's Snow White, but I'm still not happy with it. I want to make one of the Handmaiden dresses from Ep1, but I don't know how to dye velvet without ruining it.
