One crucial costume item out of the way!
Got the deck helmet done for my deckhand costume from Battlestar Galactica finished! I just need to put some screw heads on for the final bit of detail, but due to some issues of trying to get the screw heads separated I'll either wait for access to a pair of bolt cutters or try an alternative method tomorrow where I'll have to visit Lowe's for what I'm after. I tried using a metal cutter wheel on my Dremel (it's a craftsman but in the same league) but stopped since the screw were pretty tough and I was sparking everywhere. Didn't want to set the balcony on fire. **l**
I did the liner from scratch using a Navy liner that was sent to me. I took that thing apart and used it for fabric patterns. Dyeing the actual item would've been a pain, and it smelled used of course. At least now I can make another liner and I know what to look out for in ways of sewing issues. Everything else was acquired through people's information and what was seen in screenshots from the show.
I'll be wearing this little ensemble at Tekkoshocon next week! Look for the bright orange coveralls!
Oh yeah, forgot about the pics. :P
