It's a non-stretch polished cotton. I found it in a bigass pile of furnishing fabrics out in Lower Hutt, it wasn't labelled but looks for all the world like cotton sateen! Just not stretch, and slightly lighter weight :)

Agree with everyone else, Static is indeed a legend! That looks real nice! Very Happy

Sander went walkabout the other day so not making the progress I'd like. Did pick up some primer for the rattle

AHAHAHAAH expanding foam omg. Tht stuff is awesome in a special and unique kind of way...looking good Belakor!

By Belakor. 03/06/10, 03:34 am

@Static Thank you Very Happy

I love the stuff, it's just so crazy and cool. Most of the time I'm filling stuff with it that doesn't really need to be just because I can

Sculpting for the day complete - I am out of clay and also patience! I started my DK pauldrons, which will be moulded and cast in plastic further down the line. Photoooos...

Spoiler:

Hahaha, I haven't worked with clay since I was five and it is so hard. Ohgod. AND I USED 2KG ON THAT. I need to smooth all the lumps and bumps out of it, but I may also have mis-judged the moulding aspect...I'll have to rethink that later, but for now, I'm kinda pleased with it! Very Happy

Sculpting tips, anyone?

You didn't make it solid did you?

By Static. 03/06/10, 07:14 am

Nah - there's a form under it made of newspaper and duct tape, lol. That's not solid clay under there, I knew it woulda chewed up way more clay than I wanted! I just ran out anyway. Neutral

It's about a 1cm layer over it, and then the other layers on top.

ITT: Pure awesome.

Static, your Fujin costume is going to be so wicked. Do you have a Raijin? 8D

BELAKOR, MJOLNIR HELL YEAH.

By Static. 03/06/10, 08:51 am

Le_Sab: lol, nah, I wish! It's just for a photoshoot really, and maybe my new what-to-wear-when-I-have-to-work-or-otherwise-be-semi-comfy costume. XP

I bought fabric for Kiki! It is dark blue instead of dark purple .___.
I really need to stop buying impulse fabric and wait until I have reference pictures with me.

I also have money now so I can buy cosplay materials! That is super progress!

Bit of a Question:
Can Ripstop be dyed??

By Icarus. 04/06/10, 03:12 pm

Rip stop refers the to the weave :) It's woven with a checkered effect to add extra strength. You need to know what the fibre content is :) If nylon- yes. If Polyester- then it'll be hard and more a case of toning over the top than dyeing.
