| Having watched Delusional play through Star Ocean 3 I completely fell for this costume. I wore it to AmeCon in a just passable state for a Star Ocean group. I finally finished it many years later for the 2008 London Expo. I'm really glad I went back to it as it's such a fun costume to wear :) There are a lot of little differences between the art work and the game model for Maria, so I went with a mix of the convenient parts of each. My old friend funky foam was used for the hand armor and covered in suede for the belt (with giant buttons!), pleather for the chest piece and holster band and I turned to foamboard to build up the gun. Finding the chunky zip for the dress was probably the hardest part. Because I knew I'd be stuck inside helping on the cosplay desk I kept this to as few layers as possible. This meant the chest armour only went round the front and attached at the dress side seams under the jacket. This hid under the jacket quite nicely, but I felt if I did the lower armour plates it would be really clear they didn't go all the way round and would be difficult to keep flat (as well as being warmer), so I missed it off :) A rare couple of people recognised me, though one person had played the game and still didn't have a clue who Maria was XD More Star Ocean love people! | |

Tweaking and Guns (Posted 21st October 2008) Having neatened up everything I'd already made I'm now well into making all the new additions; including her gun :D I've used 5mm and 3mm foamboard glued in layers to make the 3D shape and sanded it down smooth. Everything is covered in foam dust! *cough* |

@ninodog Hahaha, Star Ocean the musical? The idea scares me.
@Lex_is_evil Silver did such a good job, I'm really love them (and I'm not blinking!) :D
This costume would have been 100 times better with a gun holster :D
The STARS are aliiiiiiiiiiive with the sound of music!
@Gainax - I blame Last Remnant for that :p
I blame Last Remnant for a lot of things... War, famine and racial hatred to name afew. IT IS PURE EVIL!!!!!!!! And the only way to defeat it is to complete it unfortunatly :(
Awesome Maria! I've been told I'd be good as Nel, but I've never been sure.
wow you did one of my fav characters of all times :D
This is really well made! Aw man, I was Nel that year, wish I'd seen you =[
Loved this! I wish I had been there to see this! Well done for doing Maria really well!
