Thats the probs with searching rather than ebaying stuff. Is that you are having to wait for good stuff. Hopefully my Angel will work. From both front and back. Have yet to get wings. Thankfully I don't have to wig (I avoid wigging where ever possible). Just makeing my hair look short.

Just so you know I now have the leather pants and jacket that I won from ebay. So will be starting work on them asap. Just need to find some decent enough pics for it.

 

Are all the costumes basically the same apart from the colors of the trimmings? I mean if I looked at a picture of the back of say Cyclops would that be what Icemans looked like at the back too. Just wondering cause I need to make quite a few modifications to my jacket and trousers.

How about doing the group at C11? Is everyone up for that. I might be able to get more recruits by then.

 

think its a better idea everyone has dropped out

 

Hiya.

 

Just jumping into a thread that's been down for a week or so but... Has anyone seen the japanese store on e-bay that makes replica's of the X-men costumes? They've done Rogue Cyclops, Phoenix, wolverine.... If you guys want I'll try and find the web site for them. They seem to be quite detailed, with tailor make them and they're about £40 -£120... which isn't THAT bad IMHO.

I'll be making my own as I have spare fabric left over from Sephiroth. I may have to make my wings as I can't find any big enough.

 

Sounds fab. How did you get into making your own costumes in the first place?? And will you be doing angel at the next g-mex?

I learn at the age of 14 to sew from my Mum and then I progressed into costume making due to the fact you couldn't buy them that easierly in the late 80's. I have since done comissions and about to set uo a business.

 

I haven't got a date yet for Angel. Most likely C11.

 

I can't do anything useful like that. I can do cross stitch... But have absolutely no idea about patterns and cutting and making clothes... I can make cards... But that won't help in a situation like this! :D

 

When you set your business up, I may be a customer! There are some fab costumes around but good god... Some of them are very very very expensive. Like a weeks wages... if you incllude the postage and packing from abroad. Good luck with the business venture. Hope you make it!
