Ok, I've been posting about this in the chatbox for a few weeks, and now I'm actually done. Did this for a competition at a local sci-fi con. Not the most complicated thing I've ever done, but I had a good time doing it. So, quick background. The costume is of Death/The Grim Reaper and took about 3 weeks to design and build. The scythe blade is made out of medium density fiberboard and was shaped with a combination of orbital power sanding, hand sanding, and dremel work. It was then painted and polished. Took about 6 days including drying time. The mask was made by molding my face using plaster strips and then affixing the teeth and horns, which were made out of "Model Magic", which is a kids clay-like foam compound Then painted to resemble bone. The cape and tunic were a ***** and a half. I've never sewn before. 14 fsking yards of fabric. Took about 8 days, 3 of which was actual sewing, and I spent most of my time doing it during those 3 days. In the end, I won the award for best prop, which was nice since that's my specialty. Look at the bottom of the post to see why So, pictures!
And here's an old picture of the most insane thing I've ever built. Mos of the work was done by my friend and I. It's the Dalek (from Doctor Who) on the left. The Hello Kitty Klingon (Hello K'tteh) was done by some friends of ours.
We kinda buggered the belts but we ran out of time to fix it. The lights on top actually work and we originally had it wired to a voice system but we didn't have the amp we needed so we just rewired the lights to a switch.
