The tunic and a little peek at the cosmetics...
1) Tunic and wig (top still not decorated yet).

2.) Work on the facial cosmetics.

Leggings, tunic and a bit of sword progress

More updates! Leggings and the top + the sword this time.
Please note, the colours look different as the picture of the top was taken in my room and the one of the leggings was outside. They are, however, made from the same sheet of material. The material is a tad too light for the armour, so it's going to be dyed a bit darker.

1.) Leggings (not yet decorated). These will be worn without the black leggings on. I'll have them on bare legged (with the exception of socks).

2.) Tunic (not yet decorated - but looks the right colour in THAT light).

3.) Sword progress (Hood and handle).

Getting there

Here are few update photos.

1.) The Collage (It's not ALL of the armour, but it's most of it. Still need to more painting and varnishing though).
2.) Armour mini skirt (close up detail).
3.) Sword progress (finally! I have my dad to thank for this).

Fitting things together

Alright, this costume is taking its toll on me. I'm not giving up, and I WILL get it done for the expo, but that doesn't stop it from being a pain in the arse. Whoever designed Rose's costume should be shot - even though it looks cool, making it is a NIGHTMARE!

1.) Fitting the shoulder pads together....
They're tied together, and then have to be tied to the front and back of the breastplate.

2.) Fitting the front of the collar on to the breastplate front.....
It's attached in two parts either side, with slots in the top. It was the only way it was going to work with the way I'd made the front of the breastplate itself. Here's another pic shown at an angle - Front breastplate + collar.

3.) Armour mini skirt - with first layers of paint.
This piece isn't really a problem...besides painting it all.

So, it's getting there. I just damn well hope it goes right when it comes to fitting it all together.
