Inquisitor

Hey everyone I have an update in awhile with actual words. Only pictures. But finish is almost done I'm just waiting on some leggings and some clear sandals and then I think we're going to do the nosepiece again and do a test fit sometime next week.

We didn't go to Boston Comic Con that was over the weekend way too hot and thought we'd save some money by not killing ourselves in the heat.

I started working with foam again I decided that I was going to try to make a helmet. The helmet from Dragon Age Inquisition the inquisitors helmet I got a free pattern off of the Evil Ted Smith Channel on YouTube. You should go check them out if you're going to start working with foam. He really knows his stuff and he's a good teacher watch all those videos over and over again

It was pretty hard again I don't have a lot of experience working with phone never mind making a dome shape so it was kind of a trial-and-error a lot of failure but I like the way that only come out in the end it's not perfect butt it works

I wasn't really planning on doing anything else with the helmet other than just make it just to see if I could but then I start looking online and I saw a lot of people doing Inquisitor armor and I found one that I really like from the guy had really good pictures of how we made it so I'm going to go ahead and make an Inquisitor costume. So get ready for that

Swooping is bad

soda cans! CLEAN SODA CANS!

This is Patina stains metal real good, great for weathering.

Right so we started working on a new costume for the boyfriend, what two days ago and I'm happy with the progress we are making. So with this project I get to use the soda cans (which I LOVE) it is such a cheap and easy way to add the metal plates to the armor.

All the armor has a cardboard base because cardboard is free and we are working off of a tight budget. Brown craft foam then has been weathered to look like leather (using the tin foil technique)  and then I glued on each metal plate and added the fake rivet marks.

Right now we have all the waist armor done it just needs to be strapped up and fitted, also need to go purchase some cheapo belts from savers for this outfit.
