19th October 2013: More Sword progress Covered the entire thing with paper mache to go over rough or gappy parts between the styrene and foam, I'll go over it all in PVA and then hopefully I'll be ready for painting!
19th October 2013: Swordy stuff Styrene plastic glued over all the edges for a better finish and support. Started work on the hilt too using upholstery foam for the main body and then covering with styrene plastic also. I think I may just beat this thing! :)
22nd July 2013: Sword Progress Glued craft foam pieces to the foam body to give it more shape and structure. Will then apply styrene plastic to the edging.
22nd July 2013: Body Progress Slowly eating away at the main suit. Needs more adjustments but I've put together the torso and shrug-like sections using leather and brown velvet. My resources are failing me with this one and i'll need more leather for the skirt before I can do much more. Powering through though!
22nd July 2013: Feather Bust Have been working on the feathery bra type part of the costume using an old bra and covering it with brown velvet and then feathers. Still a bit to do but I'm out of glue!:'(
Anyway, progress is good so far.
3rd June 2013: Starting Sword Doing a little work on the sword body right now - shape cut from upholstery foam. Lots and lots and lots to do!
- planning on adding structure and better shaping with a layer of EVA foam and then plastic styrene :)
