Processes
| The following tips I have
learned from making this costume and others, but with a
bit of creativity, the same methods can be employed for
any costume you would like to recreate. Many of the things I've learned have been first hand experience, but I have also been helped emensely by individuals such as Brak's Buddy and Seeker from The Dented Helmet Forum. Without their encouragement and costuming expertise, I never would have come as far as I have. Thanks guys! I've also picked up a great deal from wonderful helpful costumers at Alleycatscratch, Obi-wan's Jedi Academy and The Replica Props Forum. |
