Your work on this is absolutely amazing! I love that you were able to show that you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars and have complicated equipment to make such a beautiful piece. I can honestly say as a member of the 501st that your armor is better than mine. You have inspired me to try to recreate my own armor this way and will be purchasing your books to help with that. I always look forward to your videos.

Yeah, it's literally just a bit of fabric and some foam + colors. This is not counting the work hours of course. When I was doing a lot of Worbla costumes, the materials went way over budget but with foam it's actually really affordable.

The holster being on the left makes perfect sense because the gun used to make the E-11 Blaster was a British Sterling which had the magazine sticking out of the left side, as you know when you made yours. Well you can't have a right side holster with a left side magazine sticking out.

There is actually a better solution for the magazine, and one found WITHIN history. A reverse holster. A lot of Civil War officers had a holster where the butt of the gun faced forward rather than backward. This meant that the grip was on the correct side of the body, but you would have to turn your hand around (palm outward) to draw the firearm. I know it sounds wacky, byut it's actually a fairly easy draw, and MUCH faster than drawing awkwardly from the wrong side of the body and switching hands. I know, that's not what they did. Just makes me wonder, with the historical precedent, and the issue of the magazine, WHY NOT!?

Always amazes me the extra equipment you have to be able to turn out such great looking gear (laser cutter, embroidery machine, etc). Those items alone cost more than the materials used to craft the costume. If you have the opportunity, invest in a vac-u-form machine. That way you could use your foam pieces as a template and get one solid piece of chest armor (plus you don't have to worry about ever damaging the foam, and always have it as a back up).

So, it is not the materials that are expensive but the many hours of labor spent if you are commissioning someone to manufacture a piece. Many years ago I had someone make me an Admiral Kirk costume from Wrath of Khan. I bought the mats and paid her 100 dollars to sew the jacket. There were no instructions but only a pattern and she enjoyed the challenge. It actually turned out fairly nice and I received lots of positive comments at the Trek convention as I even resemble Shatner a little........

Girl you’re killing me. I got really excited because I thought you’d break away from your typical tools. I love your costumes and videos, but you definitely didn’t create a cheap costume.

But, you’re still the premier cosplayer and you’ve definitely created another breathtaking costume
@KamuiCosplay 6 жыл бұрын
Thanks a lot for your feedback and your kind words. However I assume that everybody owns a computer and a printer or can at least borrow one. You'll get a good airbrush already for 80$, which less money than you would have to spent for a good sewing machine. Additionally you surely can totally just use a brush. And as I mentioned in the comments, you can totally buy the patches online. The fancy tools I've mentioned are my 3D printer, laser cutter or vacuum forming machine and I didn't used any of them. :)
