Wasteland Marauders Costume WIP (pic heavy)

[taj]

This is not the first picture taken, but it kinda defines the costume for me, yeah its me... using a socket set on a denim half jacket! (nothing is complete but the mask) The challenge for me, was to make 'pink' look rough and warrior-like. For everyone it was 'keep it under $150'



and now onto the other picts Pants so far..
Before I started, all shiny and clean..

Back (all scales are hand sewn on with no 'tip' glueing at this point)


Front



Denim half jacket so far

When I first started just after removing right sleeve

after bleaching and terra cotta textile paint

There are so many more steps so far in the jacket, but lets skip to the 'right now' pic


My Mask... I call it 'Mardi Gras gone really really bad'

heres the start was a 'phantom' mask I stripped the stuff off of and cut using a dremel

more 'in progress'

aaaaaand the finished mask!





I have other stuff to finish before I move onto Aurra Sing, but, I wanted you to see what Im up to, and yeah, I can costume

So, how long's this taken so far?

[TK-1161 Curt]

Nice!

[taj]

so far Im about 39 hours into it, using stuff I already had, and junk we scrounged, the expenditures have been for paint and fasteners, oh and the base mask

Im not able to work much on it for the next couple of weeks, but Im going to have it done by the end of April, so I can start the Fem Gambit

[miss_grievous]

Cool, it's looking great so far!

[judge_hellfast]
