To an update on my Alucard costume, I have the following:
Suit bought but needs altering
Undershirt will be bought later
Coat currently on bid through Ebay which will need heavy altering
Glasses are currently torn apart for painting and vast altering
All I need to work on after are:
Gloves with symbols
Cravat has to be handmade
Hat has to be handmade
Guns : I'm doing both Joshua/Casull and The Jackal
-I have to buy airsoft guns and do a complete slide alteration
These are to let you guys know what I'm working on and for mental notes for me =)

Same here; this = mental notes for future reference... and for fun's sake I guess  P.S. Adam: Make sure you take pictures as you go, so you can see your progress later for future posts. ;p Ultraviolet Costume: -Top: no need to alter. -Pants: all ready altered-- I just had to drop the waist band. -Knee-pads: I just have to add a lycra backing to them to slip them on and off. -Gravity shifter belt: nearly completed, it requires some minor sewing and then the final glueing in the spring. -Boots: Complete. -Wig: I'm eye-balling one, just have to buy it then give it a trim. -Gloves/Glasses: Completed. -Coat: I purchased the pattern and I'll start colleting the materials and get sewing after the holidays. -Gun/sword: Can't really do much until spring-- they have to be sanded and painted and such. Dark Alice Costume: Things still needed: -Wig -Hat -Gloves -Tueling skirt -Belt The rest I gots |

Schweet! Adam, you have to try and -make- the hat? there's nada for the shape? Makin' a hat is hard. -_-
Car : Fixed! Maybe we can move onto other projects after the new year. Hehehe.

Ya, unfortunately that particular hat is one of two things: a cheap pimp hat or a ridiculously expensive comissioned one. I do have my big "pirate" hat to base the pattern from. Also, I am going to try the same fabric the coat is made from.
What was wrong with the car? and YAY!!!!!

I need to make new avatars for joo and Jacqui and boi. Second : Have a sampling of what the internet has for hats from 12-60 Bucks laughingreaper.com/costume0hellsing0alucard0accessories.aspxtinyurl.com/y8l25s9tinyurl.com/y8eq6e5www.lynchs.com/item--FedoraRedVelvet--1896.htmlSO WIN! Ummm .... Car! Well, the WHOLE distributor went out in November... Early November?(800$) We got it back, and the starter was sluggish. The start went out last week, was a week in the shop (200$) everything was fine until we started for work today, and the headlights where dim. Ok, so boi went to get hotdogs... CAR DIED. Alternator is hanging off its bracket and the alternator belt looks like a shoestring. Also, heater is borked again. The cleaning we gave it apparently was only good for another month of life. lolol. Time to fix both again. Good thing we both got full time jobs so we can BOTH pour money down the drain of life right???!?!? |

Also : I like the idea of being Dorothy from the Big O... but I've half a thought to come up with some random costume. I'm going to prolly put the most funds/effort into my QoH and Vampire Hunter outfit, and if I don't have alot of OOMPH leftover, I'm going to recycle my cute little Salliwar Khamii into some kind of Female Capitan Nemo character I don't know yet... Just musing! Or I could be NEMO VAMPIRE HUNTER DOOM! indecision. Haha.
Also : Josh's Priest Vampire Hunter - Do I need to make him this belt full of stakes? Holy Water? Supergun? Swords?

That hat on E-bay looks really sweet though ^^. If all else fails, I might just grab that thing up! Grats on the fixed car! That whole heater issue is crap. I remember what Justin and I went through with that propane leaking piece that we had in the School House Hill house. So I can attest to the money dropping. |

I def think you should do Dorothy. It was a good choice. She looks just like you =). If you did the Nemo Vamp Hunter Doom, I think I'd give you all of our weapons and just name you DOOM haha! As far as Josh's Weaponry: Everything you can muster up! The more warrior look you give him the better! Garlic potions, holy water, stakes, weapons...anything...! |

If all else fails, I might just grab that thing up! Honestly the price isn't -that- bad for the hat. I'm not against you trying to make one, but I just really think it would be worth investing in a spiffy hat instead of bashing your head against haberdashery, you know? Grats on the fixed car! That whole heater issue is crap. I remember what Justin and I went through with that propane leaking piece that we had in the School House Hill house. So I can attest to the money dropping. Yeah. We've decided fuck the heater for now, if the oil barrel IS full of sediment, and it needs cleaning, and the lines need replacing then its MORE worth getting out our cute ghetto little heaters and dealing (and then MOVING) than fighting the dickhat at the repair place who keeps mentioning casually a 350 dollar part that he wants to replace, you know? If you did the Nemo Vamp Hunter Doom, I think I'd give you all of our weapons and just name you DOOM haha! Nemo : Vampire Hunter of DOOM! How do you think Goggles would look with a turban? As far as Josh's Weaponry: Everything you can muster up! The more warrior look you give him the better! Garlic potions, holy water, stakes, weapons...anything...! ZOMG how hard do you want me to WORK sir? Hehe. |

Alright...so my coat, I get it in and it's made of like a jersey material. But have no fear, Jacqui likes to tear! She said she would prolly be using it as a pattern to make me a better one =)
