cosplay progress – fearlessstateofmind backup

Countdown to Mcm expo: cosplay progress over the last week(ish)

Cause this isn’t completely ridiculous.

Half these loops are completely superfluous and just there for decoration and he never does up like the top six buttons so this feels completely worth it

swelldame I’m on my tablet and it’s being weird with messages and inserting pictures which is probably the easiest way to explain the answer

The three lower prices are all attached to the strips of leather down the back the rivet on the top side is then hidden under the overlapping piece above it (also then you don’t have to rivet through two pieces of thick leather and each peice can move independantly so it’s a bit more flexible)

Athos and Aramis’ pauldron are done! (Well part of aramis’ is still clipped together to dry but still)

Anyway I enjoyed doing these and I’m proud of them but also…phew, done

I’ve included a photo of the back part with the floating articulation (that’s on athos’ aramis’ works the same way) as well as some detail shots, there is probably considerably more glue on these than in the 17th century.

Dye job more or less finished on aramis’ pauldron now, the colour of the dye is too warm a brown really particularly compared to the jacket but think it should be okay (more or less matched the belts so should look right ish)

This weekend’s pauldron process

I wanted to finish this today but I keep getting migraine type headaches and feeling dizzy and sick so I haven’t done anything today.

My entire feelings towards this is ‘its very pretty but why’

I now have a box of various straps and belts thats completely normal

On today’s episode of Aramis why…

I also have some breeches now
