Moderators etmuse Posted October 21, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 21, 2010 I have a few little finishing touches still to arrive from eBay, but other than that I think I'm finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowmarlin Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Right, the gloves are finally painted. I'll just touch them up on Monday night when I'm back from ET4 and, so long as the room is reasonably dimly lit, I should be good to go. Yay! Great to hear, got much left to do on it? (Still not packed for ET4) No, that's pretty much me finished now. I'm just a little worried about how much I'm going to need to pack next weekend. I'm seriously considering posting the bandolier over to the hotel as it's taking taking up a lot of space and it's not essential to the costume and I won't mind too much if it goes AWOL.

Jenny88 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I finally finished my dress for the hallowheen ball (the one buffy wears for hallowheen in season 2). And also got a big petticoat, so it won`t just hang down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators etmuse Posted October 22, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 22, 2010 Friday I'm just being a generic scientist. Hopefully getting my hair cut this weekend, which might make my Oz-hair a bit easier to do for Saturday. (Luckily my natural hair colour isn't too far off what he has in the episode in question.)

Moderators etmuse Posted October 22, 2010 Moderators Share Posted October 22, 2010 A collection of lycra shorts (from the days when I took dance lessons) has been vital with some of the skirts and dresses I've worn for costumes at cons recently.

Orangepeel Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I just have a zombie dress for Saturday and i am going to be a bloody nurse Friday. I know i am thrilling haha! But i am rubbish at dressing up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffy2k Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) I have a big crinoline dress for saturday and doing halloween stuff for sunday, not sure how its going to fit in the car at this point with my friends stuff as well. We usually have to do about 5 trips each to the car when we unload as we are decorating our room as well as usual with halloween stuff and pumpkins.

buffy2k Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) you decorate your room!!! that is so cool. Yep we usually decorate, we did last year too and at other cons nearer to xmas we put xmas decs on the walls and had a tree as well as doing easter stuff and birthdays as well. Dont know what the staff of the thistle think but we've been going to cons there for years so must be used to it by now.

Beccaasp! Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I still haven't gotten my Halloween outfit sorted. Had a robe thing and a mask but masks are very annoying and I think I would get fed up wearing it after a while. I had a crazy doctor idea but its just getting all the stuff together in two days!

We have a deal there then. From what i've heard they sound fantastic already Currently sewing patches on my overalls trying with sewing machine and if that doesn't work/I can't it then by hand I tried by machine and it was too darn difficult, with the patch being on a knee. Instead i had to do by hand which was fun. If you havent finished, bring them to the meet up on friday and i offer my stitching services, although i'd advise you bring several needles and plasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
