Shinzzzz (Posted 10th October 2008) Spending 4 days in London to get this finished as I dont have the space or materials in Bournemouth. Started the weapon today, the blade is cut out and is setting in a wooden pole as I type this. I also finished all the little touch ups I needed to do on the armour. Started to piece together the shin guards, there exactly the same as Hideyoshis accept they have lovely pointy knee caps on them oooo! All made out of buckram and craft foam (no pleather this time awes!) Tomorrow I'm starting work on the tails, going to cut out all the patterns and hopefully have them all pieced together. So I can spend my last 2 days painting the shin guards and tails. And also the weapon! Though that might require another weekend in London. Time is not on my side it seems! sigh! |

Half way through? (Posted 8th September 2008) Ok so I'm half way through this bitch now I think. I've done (in my opinion) the hardest parts which are the chest plates and leg armour. I've also cut out the majority of all my patterns now. (I would say the headress is hard but I'd be lieing - I can make these things blind folded now! - This is...my 5th?!?, and thats just counting cosplay I've made loads for stage productions) ANYWHO... I'v just come back from a long weekend in Liverpool to see La Princesse, the 50ft spider (with the rather hot French puppeteer team! - Fabia!) So I'm going to crack on with getting this costumes finished, well as much as possible in the next week and a half before I go back to Bournemouth. Next thing I'm working on is the shoulder pieces so I can get some full head shots on the go for posters and the like etc... |

lmao for anyone else id say this was a surprise but for laura its to be expected go laura go lol
Wow.... just wow. I want your skills. Completely! I love the colour of blue parts (ugh, bad word usage).
Can't wait to see more progress!
Holy moly your headdress looks FANTASTIC! *__*
I love how neat the painting on the headdress looks *__*
Can't wait to see the finished costume, it's gonna be so awesome!
That headdress is amazing O_O I can't wait to see this! Yay for other people who get to weirld scythes of doom!
Wow! That headdress is simply amazing in both shape and colour! o.O What did you use to make it?

ooooooh :D, loving the progress so far
i wish you went on a plane with this so i could say
" ive had it with these mother fucking snaked, on this mother fuckin plane lmao "
I really have to point out that out of lots of people's props that I've seen, yours look the smoothest and most professional out of them all. There really is hardly any trace of newspaper.
Thats because I cover my paper mache in paper pulp, sand it down for 2 hours, then add a lot of paint filler, makes it nice and smooooth so theres never any trace of newspaper, any rough lines showing is just thick acrylic paint =]
oh my lord!!!! this looks just awesome!!!! great job!!! you know... i know fear being Da Ji with you XD you may just kill me lol
OMG I had no idea you were making Orochi! Epic!
