Journal

Stage 4 (Posted 3 Days Ago)

Finished carving the sword out of wood and then finished the scabbard on the second day :D

Have found the perfect rubber ankle boots that match Deunan's boots 99% so I'm glad... but £14 subtracted from my account now haha. Someone gave me a free call centre headphone that can be easily fixed to look like the ESWAT communications headphone.

Still not looking forwards to that SMG :(

Stage 3 (Posted 3 Weeks Ago)

Chestplate finished and it's looking sweet. Made a replica of the gauntlet so I have 2 now, one for L arm and one for R arm.

Thin vest that she wears: paper template has been made so I'll need to transfer the template onto two layers of foam and create a proper vest. Add raised details, paint, and it will be done :)

Stage 2 (Posted 1 Month Ago)

Extra large sheets of craft foam have arrived. Finished reinforcing the breastplate and will cover in craft foam and detail now :)

Stage 1 (Posted 1 Month Ago)

Mockups for gauntlets, kneecaps, elbowcaps, upper arms, breastplate and backplate are done.

Left gauntlet finished. Right gauntlet in progress (exact replica of left, basically). Upper arms are in progress, sewing tough velcro strips onto a wetsuit is a painful job on my thumb.
Elbow cap made a lil too large, gonna be a kneecap now. Will begin on greaves when I finish upper arms.

I've also finished the glove armour but will need to find the right pair of gloves to velcro these onto.

Hm.. the ESWAT SMG looks like a right pain. I'll start that when I'm feeling a lot more enthusiatic about propmaking ;D

Chest armour going good. Toughened the front, attached my old Nerf vest onto the back of the chestplate so that it's fully wearable and adjustable around the neck and waistline. Needs a large sheet of foam to cover and finish off details.

Uh... looknig for decent boots for Deunan. That's about it so far really :)

Movie (Posted 2 Months Ago)

I deserve to be shamed for not having seen Ex Machina before deciding to cosplay Deunan. I've just finished the movie and my word it was breathtaking. Briareos' 'gun fu' was exciting and added a new level to the opening church scene, as expected from John Woo. I must admit that I'm not one to cry at movies when someone dies but I cried when Briareos said he would always protect Deunan even if the world ends; it was such a touching remark and awww... just awww. The sequel has added a new level of personality to the characters and the animation does it justice.

For those who haven't seen Appleseed... What are you waiting for?!
