Re: WIP Orrimaarko; AKA Pruneface
BTW, has Dorgs sent you a head yet so you can get the the sizing down? If not send me a PM and I'll shoot you one of my copies over
I dont have one at the moment.
Mark sent me one along with the Saesee Tiin and couple of Barada heads, but I'm starting to think the postal service ate them up, hopefully they show up unharmed, he sent me something else a few days after he shipped them and that showed up a while ago, but who knows what can happen with more than one countries flaky postal services handling it.
that looks stunning Bill! you've got the pattern down for sure. was it tricky? i'm not that experienced cutting, but man I thought it was really tricky, looks like a breeze for you!
BTW what do you think of the fabric I included in the package?
The pattern was fairly easy, it was the figuring out how I wanted to attach the hood and the pockets that were a pain, at least the closure was easy since I just did exactly what they did with the original.
The fabric you sent actually was the same stuff I was gonna use but I could never get it to lay right, it is just a bit to stiff, which sucked cause it looked right. The shape you had cut out was pretty close to what I did, so that was pretty much the problem you were having it seems. The stuff I'm using now has a looser weave so it drapes good, and will be better on the next since the bottom hem won't be thick. I'm also thinking of taking some light sandpaper to outside and inside of this one and see if it softens it and it may even make it look a little better (might fuzz it up a little), not to mention this one never got its fabric softener soaking.
BTW thanks again for the endor gear.
From all the prop shoots Ive been looking at (not that theres many) it seems the endor boots are exactly the same but his are black or dark brown, I was thinking of painting the green part black, and the laces brown and leaving the toe part the way it is and mabee doing black wash over the whole boot when I'm done. I just hate the idea of messing with what is already a well painted pair of boots. I was also thinking of making new shorter spats that are very dark brown and laced up the front.
time" from some of you.
, the second one got here in like 2 days. So its all good now. Hopefully that lost package of heads will make it back to you like the scout armor did.
