Ruby Part 2

Hi,

I gone and did it again I left it ages to write anything. In my defence I have been massively busy making things and going (and guesting) to cons.
I haven't had to much time to myself but I did in this time finish a few projects one of them being Ruby.

So here are the last steps in finishing the cosplay.



A few days after I finished the cloak from the last post I started work on the waistcoat and skirt.

They were made with very easy patterns from simplicity check it out HERE (Cape pattern is HERE I don't think I linked it before)

The skirt is crushed velvet and the waist coat was actually green dress lining. 

Then it sat like this for ages until I got off my bum and finished her.

I wasn't happy that the waistcoat wasn't patterned so I decided I would paint it.

Using metallic fabric paints I painted a few patterns and flowers on it so it was closer to the pattern in the show.


I then made the shirt using the same pattern as the waistcoat and skirt. I made this from Chiffon.


Last bits I needed to do were the hems shirt and skirt were straight forward normal hems but the waistcoat I used a silky green bias tape which I think worked really well.

Any way she is ready for this Sunday at Reading Comic Con.


Thanks for reading, your friendly neighbourhood Bendy Benz!!

Cosplay WIP

I just wanted to share a bit more of my Cosplay work in progress. Daedric Armour is coming along nicely. I finished sanding. All the piece sanded ready for paint. Got as much a I could painted until I ran out of spray paint. The next thing I'm working in is the Cheshire Cat from Alice Madness Returns. I am using a different medium on this I am using Worbla . Worbla I just brilliant you heat it and it becomes pliable, then you mould it in to shape and it hardens this way. This is what I've done so far. Its very messy but I think I am doing well with it. Please let me know what you think of my WIP. Your friendly neighbourhood Bendy Benz.

Pepakura Part 2

Hi Guys, Here are some updates on my pepakura project. I started by making a helmet that fits. See it fits. I was planning on just make the helmet just to see if I then I thought no I want a whole Daeric armour so next I thought I would make the breast plate. So it started with this. I printed out the pattern the size it comes in I got half way through about 7 hours worth of work and realise it was far to small, so had to learn how to rescale the design. A little Google search helped. So I started again. This was the final result. Front Back The next step is resin. I resined both the helmets and the breast plate. I added these pins for the nail effect. The next step is Bondo. ...

Penny Dreadful

****Disclaimer Spoilers**** So I've been watching Penny Dreadful over the last few weeks ans last night was the last episode so I thought I would write down what I thought about it. So when I saw the adverts for I thought it was just a Gothic drama set in Victorian London. Boy was I wrong lets do a run down on the characters. Sir Malcolm Murray Sir Malcolm is the main protagonist. He is an aged explorer. The story is centred around him and his quest to find his daughter, Mina, who has been taken by an entity known only as the master. (My bet is the master is none other then Dracula) He shares his house with: Vanessa Ives Vanessa is essentially Sir Malcolm's adoptive daughter. He has known her all her life. Vanessa has a creepy and sad story. She was a mischievous child who got herself into trouble in her teens by ruining the soon to be marriage between Mina and her prince charming. After this she is overwhelmed with guilt and becomes hysterical she is insti...
