And dremels are smart little tools indeed. Got a cheap sub-brand one for 30 euros - and it came with all I need for grinding, cutting, sanding or drilling for scale models.
Can't wait to see the costume finished!
Decided I wanted the collar to be bigger, so the first two days are going to be restarted tonight. Mrrp.
Current collar is probably going to end up getting painted white and get some nice stylized gears on it, since it'd be a waste of time and effort otherwise.
Though on the plus side, I 100% approve of your revised design for the small one. What a very clever idea. ;)

And kudos for actually goign through cosplay stuff.
Closest thing I did was sort-of-prepare stuff for a Shinichi Kudo cosplay (it involved letting my hair grow a bit more than usual to allow for the proper hairdo, I have pretty much the same hair color so why use a wig?), and I already had the right clothes, but the friend with which I wass supposed to go to the con with had family issues and we ended up not going.
SHame, as I can't do that in the future as I no longer have a green tie. My father might, though.
Hopefully you can go sometime in the future!
After all, that con is done every year, and smaller ones are more frequent.
Howere, lately I'm more into scale models, and races take a lot of my free time.

Whaaaaaaat. That is incredibly awesome.

...I think mom's up for trying just about anything.
More pics will be coming later today!
...try searching for 'Minerva Crafts'. They do loads of fabric and other sewing bits.
Also yes, I am still lurking round here. :)
I haven't seen you in AGES! How's Real Life been treating you? Any plans on getting Eagrus and Agent!Cyba out of mothballs?
Let's try to make this post comprehensible before posting, eh? *ahem*
Funnily enough, I first heard their music via a Civilization V mod. The mod, if you're interested, is called the "Sky March".
(CIV V AND MLP:FiM JARGON INBOUND. FEEL FREE TO SKIP THIS SECTION.)
The Sky March is a domination-focused civ that is led by an alicorn OC. (I just figured out that it's based on a fanfiction by gatesmccloud on DeviantArt.) The OC's backstory in-game doesn't seem Sueish, but the Civilopedia entries for this civ would be served well by some major SPaG editing.
The civ itself has a good UA, reducing the gold cost for land acquisition and unit maintenance. However, its UU leaves the civ underpowered in naval combat for an era.

Here's where the mod ties into 2SFH. The Sky March's peacetime theme is "Spirit of Champions" and its war theme is "Interceptors Duel."
P.S.: Does anybody else think that "
The PS was supposed to be asking if anyone else thinks that "Interceptors Duel" sounds like it was inspired by "Duel of the Fates".

I've been listening to their stuff for a while; they have some very good pieces and some very generic pieces.
For the cloth bit of the costume I'm making a heavy outer robe and a (relatively) lighter inner robe. Outer needs to have three layers: red stretch velvet (which I've sent away for samples), a muslin inner layer to add stiffness (those sleeve pleats won't hold themselves in place, after all) and a gold inner layer.
The under robe is going to be a lot simpler and just made out of this brocade and a thin lining.
