Building A Cyberwoman: Part I: Head/Neck
I have started to piece together my Dragon*Con costume. Or I should be more realistic and say one of my Dragon*Con Costumes. The most elaborate of any I’m thinking of making for this year. The Cyberwoman.
I started by gutting a Cyberman mask. As the Cyberwoman had a human face.
By the time I was done it was hard to see that the head piece had once been for a Cyberman, with some strategic cutting I now had the front of my helmet. I would still need to make the back piece as the mask did not come with a handy back panel.
I also started work on the neck piece, made of a leather like fabric in silver, I added some folds to and will be using it to hold my chin straps and back of the head in place.
For the Back of the head I grabbed some silver poster board at Pearl Paint to make the remaining stiff part of the helmet. I plan to have a hood on underneath it so it remains to be seen if I will have a back piece or pieces covering my ears.
Progress. 86 days and counting ’til Dragon*Con
