Windlass Studios

feeds@yuku.com (sabacc72) — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 01:29:09 GMT

What do you costumers think of the 2009 SDCC offerings and prototypes by Windlass Studios? This is definitely costuming, but taking it into the officially licensed realm (but for now it'll remain in this Fan section). I'm no expert, but they look pretty darn good to me.

Biker Scout Armor

feeds@yuku.com (sabacc72) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:09:54 GMT

If I could fit into it, I'd seriously try to scrape together the dough. This very well put-together Biker Scout armor set is currently selling for $800 shipped.

Indiana Jones costuming

feeds@yuku.com (sabacc72) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:22:51 GMT

Does anyone within the sound of my posts do any Indiana Jones costuming?

I'm considering purchasing a Short Round baseball cap and have done a bit of research to find that it's a '20s or '30s New York Giants hat. The picture below shows the closest I can find but I don't know how I'd add the pinstripes.
Any ideas?

Kids SWWE costumes

feeds@yuku.com (Eofer Draijonsai) — Thu, 29 May 2008 21:50:10 GMT

As some may have noted from comments elsewhere, I'm working on the Amidala Parade Gown for goddaughter and Maul for my godson to wear SWWE. I'm note necessarily keeping my hopes up for the final results as I'm now under some time pressures to complete both. Hopefully soon I'll get some "in the making" pictures to post with some descriptions and will definitely post final pics provided they turn out.

I have discovered I don't like making jewelry.

Steampunk Lightsaber

feeds@yuku.com (sabacc72) — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 08:04:41 GMT

Here's an example of some really ingenius work, a Steampunk Lightsaber. Imagine if the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen had included a Jedi. This piece is such a work of art.

Stormtrooper Helmet

feeds@yuku.com (sabacc72) — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 03:46:12 GMT

I've recently acquired a MR e3 Clone helmet and am considering buying a Stormtrooper helmet of some sort. At this point my gameplan is to see if MR marks down their e4 model as their license crashes and burns later this year. Does anyone have any opinions or recommended sources of information about this? (Other than, "Join the 501st.")

I'm looking for accuracy but I also want it to be a nice counterpoint for the e3 Clone. I've done a little homework, but I'm open to any...

A Costume For Antonidas

feeds@yuku.com (Antonidas) — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 09:03:13 GMT

Hey gang. I have always wanted a real Jedi Costume. After seeing Jose and Russ in their costumes I guess I wanted a real one to. I was wondering if you all could tell me how, give me pointers, give me ideas, and advise. Please.

woot!!!!!!!!

I may have just convinced my boss that we need a vacuforming bench in the art department... If so I'll be able to use it on my spare time.... IF I ever manage to get some spare time....

Garindan, Imperial Spy

feeds@yuku.com (Superscout 21) — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 23:34:21 GMT

Thanks to Audtoo, I finally got some decent pictures of my latest costume: He's the Imperial Spy from the original Star Wars (A New Hope). Also called 'snitch', 'long snoot', and 'Garindan', he is the shadowy alien that follows Luke, Ben and the droids through the streets of Mos Eisley, eventually tipping off the Imperial Stormtroopers as they arrive at docking bay 94.

Hey everyone!

This is the site that we spoke about at the meeting, it will help many of you with your costume making. They only take in new members once every three months, the next registration time is December. But you can still read the forum without being a member.

Monthly Costume Workday

feeds@yuku.com (Audtoo) — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 11:14:10 GMT
Since some of us want to have spiffy new costumes ready for C4, Susan suggested we have a monthly workday when we can get together for inspiration and sewing help. This would be a day apart from meetings where our intention is to get a lot of work done.

I would be happy to host, since (a) I already have a lot of sewing equipment set up at my house, such as a serger, that we can share; and (b) it would be really dang convenient for me.

Sci Fi Film at UCF needs costuming help

feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 15:13:22 GMT
Hello, we are James and Robert Dastoli, we made five SW fan films in the past, including How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Superlaser and The Vorzyd Gambit. We are in our last year at the film school at UCF and we're making a big scifi film. We need costumes for this of course, and we really don't know the first thing about making costumes. So we decided to come to this forum to see if anyone was interested in helping us out. We need a Mara Jade-ish costume, a Kyle Katarn/Dash...

Opinions please

There are two costumes I'm trying to decide between as to which I shall make for C4. My budget won't allow me to make both. I'm between Slave Leia and Padme Blue Midrift. here's a link to my myspace so you can see pix of me to help me decide.

Events/ opportunities to wear costumes!

feeds@yuku.com (Superscout 21) — Sun, 16 Jul 2006 08:59:36 GMT
(I'm cross-posting this from the 'events' section- hope that isn't a problem!)

Having 'debuted' my Garindan costume at Star Wars Weekends, I'm eager to wear it at an event where I can walk around more 'in character' (rather than just marching the parade route).

The next sure-fire event is Vulkon in November, but I'm wondering about these other...

Using costumes for a narrated slideshow

feeds@yuku.com (Darthovsky) — Fri, 14 Jul 2006 01:24:14 GMT
Wouldn't it be neat if we figured out what kind of photograph story we could tell with peoples' pre-existing costumes? I'm thinking of an audio/visual "slideshow" of photographs of actors and actresses in costume, where the audio was a narration and sound effects. We'd start with a list of costumes and/or characters that people could play. Remember, no one needs to know how to act, because they'd just be posing for still shots. If they wanted to do the voice, that could be their...

Ok, So I was half way done with my white, torn AotC battle outfit, when I found better material and decided to start all over again! I'm so excited about it! It's looking great! I'm even taking the time to make every single seam to be just like hers. I'll post some pix of it when I'm done!

Does anyone else cosplay...
