Completed! (well, at least till expo!) (Posted 6th August 2012) Ok did another full rehersal (including standing around in it for a good while) and have made the adjustments required from that! Im calling it done - well at least until I start remaking parts of it to make it better! |
|
Completed!?!?!? (Posted 4th August 2012) I think... my cosplay is now complete! I did a dress rehersal today where I picked up quite a few things I wanted to change and improve, but think I have done all of those improvements now! Tomorrow will do another full test, and try and stay in costume a bit longer (today just got into it and into the garden for photos and it started to rain! typical!) Won't post the pics till after Amecon though, which is there the grand unveiling will occur! |
|
so almost there! (Posted 29th July 2012) Really wanted to do another update because I believe I have hit an important milestone - all the armoured bit is basically done (apart from a few discretionary tweaks I can make! Ive also managed to fasten the big wings onto the aluminium a lot more strongly, and build up those strange hooked wing tips for the top! Ive cut out all the silver spiky bits coming off those wing tips, and will be painstakingly covering them with aluminum foil at work tomorrow... and the day after... and the day after.... sigh! At home in the evenings will probably do those discretionary bits, or bits for other cosplays, then on thursday.... amybe I can actually finish! head: 100% |
|
going well (Posted 28th July 2012) Ok wow its coming together! Yesterday I completely made the head :) Really proud of it, it worked really well I think! I also painted the gold disk (still not happy with it, but no time to remake it. last week I made the legs of the costume, and made the neck (without scales at the moment but that will change. head: 100% |
|
Bahamut - race to the finish! (Posted 22nd July 2012) Well, been working non stop it seems on Bahamut! I have achieved a lot, but the more I do the more I see what else needs to be done! Since the last entry I have finished off the wing harness (except that I need to fix the rotating bit since one of the bolts has tightened and now wont rotate)- Ive made all the "tentacle feathers" from cardboard, fillet them with expanding foam and painted them - although I am now at the stage where I need to work out what to make the main substance of the wing from so that I can attach them. I also need to finish off the wing tops including the silver spiky bits, but hoping I can get a polystyrene ring tomorrow! Ive also booked two days off work to help me finish the costume (as a bit behind schedule) so hoping I can get it finished in time! head: 10% |
|
Quite a way in - maybe half way? (Posted 6th July 2012) Well, been working on this for a while: my current position is as follows: This weekend will be finishing off quite a few of these bits, but mostly completing the wing harness (including fibreglassing a copy of my back, screwing wood on and finishing the aluminium frame) Also hope to do a draft up of the neck to make sure it works, and start work on the legs/top bit of tail. |
|
Need to get going! (Posted 6th May 2012) Well, Progress on this ground to a halt while doing stuff for minami and kita, but need to get going again! Ive ordered stuff for casting the claws which I am going to attempt (no biggie if it doesnt work since Ill just use foam instead, but seems a good opportunity to give it a go! |
|
Stilts (Posted 17th January 2012) Well, interesting news is that I have finished off the stilts! (well, except some small adjustments I am planning!) |
|
Bahamut small progress (Posted 26th December 2011) Really into bahamut atm - have been making bits for the lower arms, my navy blue zentai suit arrived, and I have made the bits for the tops of the large wings (well, still need to seal and paint them, but structurally done! Sadly not much I can do after that as need more materials, namely aluminum for wing structure, plastazote sheets for the armour, and more |
|
head wip (Posted 13th November 2011) ok I caved, and started making a mock up of the head... kinda happy with how this is turning out! |
|
Bahamut - begin! (Posted 12th November 2011) Ok so I have oficially started on Bahamut! My main first priorities are to get the structure and mechanism of the wings working first so that I can check weight and movement, and also to build a pair of digitgrade stilts to see how difficult or unstable they make walking. If they are ok I shall then combine the two to see how difficult/stable they are with huge wing structures on my back! Sigh... this is gonna take a long time! |

I have been waiting for someone do this character justice! And I think you're gonna blow justice out of the water from whats going on in the progress pics! Please tell me you're going to enter for the Euro cosplay comp?
Thanks everyone :) Im not actually entering Euro with this, couple of reasons (I really dont go in for competitions and the idea of being in a europe wide competition scares me witless, and also the reason I made this is so I can go on stage with a friend as an epic group at october expo, which couldnt happen if I went for euro)
So excited to wear it though!
This is looking great!
crap meeeeee thats epic
I am so impressed with everything you've done so far. I wish you were entering EuroCos as you'd rock it and would love to see you be our finalist haha! But seriously cannot wait to see it live and looking forward for your group in October *____*

Wow, the whole thing together looks simply spectacular - I love the scales and the colours of it :)
There isn't a word for how many feelings I have for this. xD You really did set one heck of a high bar for the rest of us FFR'ers! It's stunning! The wings especially. And you were amazing in the masquerade. Well, amazing in general actually, because the amount of us that stopped dead and just stared was uncanny. I love this so much. Lend me your skills, oh mighty builder of masterpieces!
So... Shiny... I love it! I'm so glad you won an award for it, definitely well deserved <3
