Pleather bodysuit -1 (Posted 23rd February 2010)

On Sunday, our keyblade warrior group met up and we set about the legs for the bodysuit. We used Jonny's sewing machine to stitch the trousers.
Despite being tickled lots when attempting to fasten the waist, it was a good afternoons work! =]
-> We bought a tub of gesso (to cover and shape the armour pieces, before painting them) and also spray paints for each of our armor types.

Now made the inserts for the mouth piece, to be attached to the visor and jaw, once separately painted.
[made of same materials as rest of the helmet]

Helmet update 1 (Posted 15th February 2010)

So far the Jaw piece has been finished (made wire frame, attached the mesh, used a lot of masking tape and paper mache), though might need another paper mache layer for extra strength.
The 'ears' are finished and came out in good shape (they have also been made with wire framing, mesh, masking tape and paper mache - which has worked pretty well so far). However they will be attached at a later stage.
Made the inner mouth piece today; working on ensuring there will be gaps between this inner piece and the visor, so we can get fresh air to breath =]
All for now, will update with pics soon!

Working on the helmet so far =]
Have yet to buy the grey/lilac pleather for my body suit, but found some nice ones on ebay!
I'm gonna try be very picky over this costume! ;]
