i'm moving my WIPs to the general forum rather than clan specific in hopes of more feedback.
i started with the basics.
then i ended up dying the suit.
and putting moly-b all over it for soiling. problem is i think moly-b might wash out. i think a clear coat of spray paint might hold it in. btw i am doing something about the zippers i just don't know what yet.
then i began a side cape and with what was left over i made a waist wrap to go under my honor sash and ammo belt.
made this "trophy". don't know what it is exactly just liked it. it's a couple curtain tiebacks rebraided and wrapped in leather.
for the honor sash i got some small rope and cut 3 sets of 7 strands each. then weaved in another long strand in two sections and hand stitched the edges to keep it from spreading.
closer shot of the weave.
this next part didn't come out as well as i had hoped but it will work.
the plan is to do both sides this way and attach either with a leather strap and buckle or dyed elastic and plastic buckles.
i think the leather would look much better but that the elastic might be a better fit.
that's where i'm at on soft parts up to now.
what do you all think?
