Hi Folks,

Well after a rather busy and exciting week off on holiday a few things happened.

First off, I got engaged to my lovely fiancée who said yes :)

Secondly I started on the coat part of the costume and basically sat at a table all day pinning and cutting out cloth, interfacing and lining materials.

Sewing machine is getting used tonight...I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared!

You know it's to the death right? I failed to observe that and now I'm not sure I can take the Lady Inquisitor in a fair fight...

Well, i am getting there, though i keep forgetting to take pictures, but it takes ages so i want to crack on.

I now have everything i need to complete the cosplay i think.

Helmet is now needing a final smoothing before filler primer and 2000 wet n dry sand for the gloss black to go down for the alclad lacquer base Chrome layer.

Coat wise, the outside of the coat is finished in terms of putting panels together, the time consuming bit is quilting the lining to give that diamond pattern so iconic of the Warlock outfit, but about 1/2 done now. Once its done all the lining parts are to be sewn together and then join the 2 sections, as a first timer, its slow as i dont have time to make a mistake

Boots i found a very good EVA foam pattern for cosplay stuff, think it was the foam cave or foam vault. So using that as a basic template but modifying it with my own design ideas, basically to save time over designing something from scratch, i ordered sheets of foam from a industry supplier so hopefully arrive soon.

The rifle is a nerf bullpup, with extruded polystyrene sections to carve out and some metal and plastic tubing, plus gribblies. This has yet to be started but will be doing so next week.

Bracers and gloves are started with the use of some BMX gloves sewn into bracers made from foam and metal with velcro strapping.

Then its a case of modifying some belts into a bandolier and adding all the pouches etc.

I will get some pics up tonight hopefully.

Well after a mental couple of months, cosplay is all done (got top 10 :))

I can get back to making my flat less like a tip and look to starting my GD entry, started cleaning up the sprue parts, taking off mold lines (fun times :( ) of the ad mech strider.

So many fiddly areas to clean!
