Description
I be part of a pokemon group for the may mcm expo I'm making this Zapdos. To begin with I was going to make him a pimp version but then I desided against it to make him with a maskerade feel to it~

COMPLETE (Posted 26th May 2011)

Everything is finally done ... well almost... I just need to attach the tail to the trousers and them I'm done~ See you saturday at MCM as a completed Zapdos!

Progress (Posted 17th May 2011)

My second waistcoat is done! Its complete with pocket and pleat and the back, it just needs ironing. The trousers are being done friday. The wins have been made and attached to the shirt with a simple ring system for opening them (having them attached to rings which are perminately worn on my hands). The mask has gold bits painted it on to make it look neater. I just have my trousers left and I'm no longer wearing shoes~

Having to redo the waist coat that took me a week to do!!!
...I hate my dog some days...
Well I'll have to do a second waistcoat I'll give this one a cooler collar so this edit might be worth it...

Mass work (Posted 12th February 2011)

So the mask is done, the waistcoat botton on - finally, and the wig has arrived, with a little hair spray and a little back combing it looks pretty good to me. I'm half way through the wings now with one on the shirt and the other has been neaten and is awaiting to be sewn on.
Images up soon, pormise.

Waistcoat (Posted 16th January 2011)

All done with the waistcoat, in fact I had it done last weekend but forgot to update~
So new up will be the trousers and pictures, when I find the conection lead. I want to make my wings and tail stiff so anyone got any ideas? I need them =3

Well, I wanted to have this finished by the new year, thats not going to happen now so my new targent to finish will be february half term. In the time between then and now I'll need to make a waist coat and trousers, edit my shoes and top, buy some long orange socks and glue gun refills (main reason I stopped working as I wanted to finish my mask before anything else) AND finish my mask.
It's doable but will need planning as I need to make at least two other cosplays for friends and maybe a cosplay for the JAF if I go this year. so in simpole words, i need to get my arse in gear. In the new year sales I'll getting the shopping finished and shall try and get the trousers or top finished for new years, leaving myself four days of work as thats all I have free. Wish me Luck~

Mask~ (Posted 21st November 2010)

Yesterday I went shopping for all the material and base items I need to make this Zapdos. Last night I got to work on the mask and though it isn't yellow yet I love it, it's so much fun to wear though with the beek if I look down I pock my self in the chest and I'm worried about pocking someone's eye out... then again they'd have to be very shrot for my to reach... or hugging me... hehe watch out free huggers =3
