Yayyy seriously i'm so happy your doing this! your gunna be so awesome! all scouts + galaxia = an awesome masquerade skit. :) xxx

Man alive ^^ I havent thought about this character in aaaages O_o you have the right frame for it im sure I will keep and eye out :)

AWESOME!!!

"SILENCE! Your powers are no match for me..What impudence!"

hahaha I can hardly wait myself. :P

I'm gonna try to make a light up Star Seed, just to toy with and for photo ops *evil laugh* ...*more evil laugh* :D

oooooooooooo stars seeds! all i get is a stupid crystal >:( though cud make mamo-chans and cry over it every now then for more emo-tional affect. if we both made the swords we could duel XD

No-way.. the Golden Star Seed is MINE to stay. Ha. You'll have to fight me for it.

Hmmm swords, now there's an intereting idea - I hadn't even thought of that. I LIKE it!
..I may bring some Golden cuffs too. Ohhh that would be so mean though.

..I think Galaxia is gonna be huge fun to cosplay. :D

Good luck with this costume. I'm really wanting to have a go at Galaxia myself though I'll probs be doing the chaos version as I like prefer it ^^ let me know how it goes if you finish before me

Okies.
My Galaxia is planned for angel aiko's HUGE SM group at London Expo in October. :P
That's why I haven't started on it yet - need to do May Expo costumes first..

A Chos version sounds kewl, wings AND a sword! :P Yeah let me know when you are gonna make it. :)

I'm very tempted to get a Sailor Scout costume now! (not sure which one) for October that is xDD

Oh yeah, you would be very welcome I'm sure. :)

Here is a link to the SM group thread Angel Aiko is organising..

Wow this really makes me wanna put my Uranus cosplay forward to October or re use my Mars costume from May ^^ I've alreayd got other cosplays planned tho >_<

Hey dunno if this will help for a reference for this costume but I found a pic of Galaxia draw by Naoko from the artbook http://www.sailorenergy.net/HowToDraw/HowToVillainDiaGalaxia2.jpg
hope it helps ^^

Thanks bracyfaceanimegurl, wow that's a long name..
*right click..save file as..*
Yes very helpful picture, when the time comes. - Must get through Mays costumes first.
I know what you mean about cosplays, sometimes it seems there are too many cosplay ideas and not enough Expo's to wear them all to. ^__^

x3 I really cant wait for this *3*
Best villain EVER 8D And the last xD

Thanks. Yeah lots to look forward to in Oct. :)

Wow! Your going to look great. Can't wait to see.

Thanks, yip I'm really looking forward to this. ^__^

This is going to look so damn FABULOUS on you darling <3 ^_^

Ahhh thanks Osaka. I want to squish yoooh again.. =P

I need to get a moove on with this, cuz the rest of the group already have their costumes finished for Aya.

How's this coming on? I can't wait to see it. Ironically I've gotten addicted to Galaxia Gorgeous at the moment :P

Oh not much to show at the mo I'm afraid. I started with the sword this time for some reason. I want me an EPIC sword to battle with.. :P
I have been working on a rough for the bodice of the cos. I also bought some boots which have a nice shape - I would have sprayed them with gold paint but they're so nice I want to use them for other things afterwards. So they will be eventually covered over with the same Gold streatch material, but I haven't bought that yet. Still sourcing some of the bits. The only bit I'm worrying about really is the wig. I guess I should get a move on with Galaxia, but since my other October Expo cos is more or less complete I only have this one to worry about making this time. ^_^
I'll stick progress pics in the journal as I get bits done..

totally sexy

LOVELY choice! How will you achieve that nice, iridescent golden glow to the fabric? Looking forward to seeing this one in the flesh... I am determined to glomp you this time around!

Thanks ^__^
The costume is gonna be made using the same shiney gold fabric to cover everything, both hard and soft parts, and boots. So it should all tie in and look sparkly gold in front of the stage lights. That's as close to the irridescant glow I can get.
Noooo please don't glomp me. It might break some of my costume. There are loads of jewels dangling by thin thread and some of the armour is only cardboard covered in gold fabric. A cosplay hug would be nice though. :)

sword is looking epic!

That is super shiny fabric. Your going to look fabulous.

Thanks. I have now added the pommel too (no pics of that yet) But the sword is almost ready for painting.

Have also bought the shiney Gold material and wig today. So once the sword is finished I will work fast on the main costume.. I'm so pleased with the Gold lycra - is just the shade I wanted. ^_^

eeeeeeeeeeee i bet your really pleased love that fabric! i have soem liek that for WW its awesome ^____^ that sword will be so mch fun to paint

eeeeeeeeeeee i bet your really pleased love that fabric! i have soem liek that for WW its awesome ^____^ that sword will be so mch fun to paint

Sephy and Emmy

Yep ^_^ the material is lovely, and it looks like I will be able to cover everything to match, incl boots. I should gleam. =P Haaa, just like I wanted.

Galaxia's sword hilt though is very dark almost black. I wish it was gold too but in the anime only her original 'Sword of Sealing' is Golden, and Sailor Moon gets that. But I intend to make her 'Chaos Sword' look metallic, like a gunmetal colour. Shall experiment with rub'n'buff metal polish.. Still need to make some very large Ruby's for the hilt too.

I have been rehearsing my masquerade walk on routine to show off some sword skills, Galaxia fashion.
- Sephy I hope you will be impressed by my sword choreography (knowing that is one of your area's of expertise). Those who know the anime will recognise some of her classic sword poses, and I am pleased to be able to perform them as part of this cosplay. Really looking forward to it. :)

<3 I truly cannot wait to see this! She's really under done IMO and you'll do her fantastically, I'm sure of it 8D

Thank you. ^_^
Oh my gosh but time is going so fast again! I don't want to end up still sewing bits of my costume at the Expo like last time.. (Happened every time so far!)

I agree, she is under done. The costume is throwing up some construction challenges though. And the hair styling/crown is worrying me. Maybe that's what puts people off. I shall try my best. :)

Pattern is looking good!

-Tab

Thx. I still have a small maountain to clmb to get this ready on time for the weekend - BUT I am determiined. ^_^

WOW! omg it looks fantastic so far, i will get pictures of you for sure shiney!

This is so ridiculously amazing as usual. What day shall this be worn, and are you entering the masquerade? I have to catch a peek of this in action 8D

The skirt armour is looking fantastic! It's so neatly done.

-Tab

Thank you guys ^_^ this is encouraging me to get it finished.

Tab - neatness is one of my hallmarks. Unfortunately it's also why stuff always takes me ages to make. ..If things don't work out first time I have to re-do them until I'm happy.

Galaxia will be worn on Sunday, and I will come on as part of a large Sailor Moon group in Sundays masquerade. We were originally planning to do a skit performance, but it was too difficult to organise rehearsal with 9 people all in different parts of the country. So our slot will be more like an Expert group walk on, BUT I still want to do my Galaxia poses with my huge Sword of Doom. I didn't make this sucker for nothin ^^, and the stage is about the only safe place I will be able to swing it with out taking someones head off. (It's really quite strong - even though I didn't plan it this way.)
Plus.. it's hard being queen biyatch of the Galaxy not to make a big entrance. I just hope people will recognise it's me doing this cosplay, I don't think we are announced individually. :S

I cannot wait to see this on the Sunday!!!

Oh gawwwwsh, running out of time fast.. but I am trying my best for you all. :S

Sword is finished! I will take some pics tomorrow in the daylight.

Boy those bracelt things have taken me sooooo much time to make, for something that looks so simple.

now....sleeeeeeeep -_-

8D AHHHH i cant wait to see this in person and I cant wait to see you dude! Wooo more sailor moon flailing! xD im soooo excited! chibi moon is almost finished as well :D Im just about to go out to get stuff for her boots :D byyye x

Looking great so far, can't wait to see it on Sunday :-)

The gold lycra gives a fantastic finish.
The closest I've ever seen to that is a thin gold pvc, which is restrictive to work with. I wish the shops near me stocked something like yours.

Thanks Amy. I got the Gold foil lycra from a stall in our rag market. There must be a huge rag market in London? If it's hard to get to you can get it from eBy too, although it's more expensive to buy there. I payed £3 a meter for mine in the market.

eg this looks like the same stuff

HOW DID I MISS THIS?!?

"Never have a companion who casts you in the shade" Balthazar Gracian on Sailor Galaxia.

Sadly was supposed to be Sundays costume at Expo, but I didn't get it finished in time. There was too much left to do. So you haven't really missed it. But I'm carrying on working on it and might be my Midlands Expo costume next Feb.

So sorry to hear she didnt make it Expo D: At least you get a little more time to polish her off though, eh? Pictures of the masquerade looked fab! I'm glad you think peach's hoop thingy worked, There is other photos but i need to resize them first!

Yes you are right, Fables. At least I will do Galaxia to the best of my ability now because I am not in a last minute rush anymore. I think she will debut at Feb Midlands Expo. But I dare say she will come out more than once cuz there is a lot of Sailor Moon love. :)

thats an interesting way to make the bracelets there^_^

Oh it took me ages to figure out a way to make the bracelets work..I don't know how other people did theirs, it's quite hard to make solid ones. I guess springy metal would work. But I wanted to use the same Gold material so all the parts of the costume tied together. ^_^

Yay I really can't wait to see, U will make such a perfect Galaxia X3 It was so nice to meet you too* :D

Thanks Zedela. Galaxia could be next May expo. :)

Oh gawd, the progress looks amazing *3* Rly can't wait to see this finished <3 xx

Thanks Cheetos. I might get back to working on Galaxia over winter so she can be ready for next May Expo. :)

Am very very verrry happy to see that this will be taken to Kita 8D 8D 8D

I'm so excited about this you can't even imagine. So very, very few have managed this, and yours is looking the best so far. ♥ Love it!

Aww thanks guys. ^_^

Cheetos - If you do bring Uranus we can get some good pics. :)

Telly - I had been pondering about StarMaker to make up your trio ;)
But Galaxia is already started and it sort of makes sense. Plus I get to be supreme and villainous over you. :P Cue epic photoshoots. :)

I dont know why there arent more Galaxia cosplays. Maybe its cuz there are no patterns out there so you have to be able to draft your own or put a rough together first. Well hopefully with those hard bits done now the rest should come together quite quickly.. :)

Oh my gosh! I can't wait to see this ^___^ I'd love to do a Super Sailor Mars one day, would be awesome to a get a pic with you as Galaxia!

**sqwah meant to say eternal sailor mars! xDD

Thanks. :) Tis looking most likely 2012 now though. Ohhh You might regret meeting Galaxia - she will WANT your star seed!!! @_@ Be on your guard, and above all..protect Moon! :P

Love the progress!
I recently finished watching Sailor Stars the other day for the first time and it was amazing. I cannot wait to see this finished!

Thanks. ..I was talking to Chevi during London Expo and she suggested May 2012 Expo for another Sailor Moon group. So thats currently the aim for Galaxia. :)

Did you manage to finish this in the end? I would love to see pictures. Galaxia is one of the harder 'scout' costumes to make but also one of the most impressive in my opinion!

And shiny, lets not forget the shiny. <3

Hi Fyria, The costume was put on hold because I promised Angel Aiko I would save Galaxia for her Sailor Moon cosplay group.. The good news is she is planning her SM group for this Oct Expo 2013, so I am gearing up to have this cos ready for Oct Expo. :)

^^ Does the SM group have a chibichibi yet? Would love to join in!

Im not sure if the group has started yet Aly, the girl you can ask (pm) is angel aiko here on CosIsland. :)

ok thanks!
Sorry I thought I had commented on this before ...
Sword looks awesome and love the gold fabric you're using! Will look amazing when it is finished ^_^
