Trying to Finish Up My OST Costume

[HBJack]

Stripped my YorDreem pants of color using Rit Dye Remover



Followed the Pirate recipe for OST pant color - boiling water, salt, 1 packet of Pearl Grey, 1/4 packet of Dark Brown, stir & simmer for 20-30 minutes



Wash & hang dry



I need to take them to the tailor and have them taken in and the front fixed from going through the washer. I like how they came out, a bit uneven in some areas despite the stiring and manipulating, they look a bit faded in a few areas. I'm pretty hapy with them!

Nobel Collections Flower ring arrived, it's cool and very detailed, but seems too small.



Got my compass cord all tied up

very impressive mate

Ohhhh! Nice swag... I like the color of your breeches.

[FrankSparrow]

looks nice, can't wait to see it finished

[MadSparrow869]

can you post a tut on how to tie compass knot, dam things plagued me as long as i can remember

[TheCursed]

Excellent breeches mate, good kit!

I was with you on that for quite some time. But recently someone over on KttC (I think Undead Monkey) said to just tie a simple knot (like a square knot, or a "granny" knot) in the lacing and let it hang. I did just that, and the knot looks perfect! So it's actually pretty darn simple.

And HB Jack: yeah, the flower ring by Noble has always seemed a bit small to my eye. Especially compared to something like the Costumebase one (which is actually quite huge-ish). But the advantage is that it's really the best quality replica you're likely to find.

thanx mate

[HBJack]

MadSparrow869 - It's an easy knot, a Granny is right! I hung mine from a drapery rod for a few days and whala! It came out great!!!

Captain Mc Cool - Yeah the Nobel Collection Flower ring is perfect, but compared to my Costume Base shi#$y Flower ring, it's small. I'd like to see how big the ACME one is? I have ordered a ACME Stolen ring and am excited to get it!

April 23rd is my little girl's party, so I'm hoping to have this costume all finished before the "Big Event"

[HBJack]

Thought I'd give it a test drive, less the beard & full make up











I think it came together pretty well, what do the shipmates think?

[Guest]

You look great HBJack!

[Captain McCool]

Lookin' good mate! The whole thing is coming together quite nicely!

The facial hair will certainly pull the whole look together. With the eye makeup, the crazy Jack hair, and being clean shaven you have a vaguely Alice Cooper thing going on, haha.

[TheCursed]

Bloody marvelous sir!

[Cap.cristianSparrow]

looking really good !!!!!






pd: check the belts !..

[MadSparrow869]

very impressive

[Mojo Turbo]

Yea, looks awesome - I think the "check the belts" comment is for the backside only. Your sash was covering up them beauties.

There is a more glaring error on the front side... it's nothing to worry about as it's nothing wrong with the belts or buckles themselves

[Cap.cristianSparrow]

i should said... check the position of the belts.. should be on your right side...

Nothing wrong with them. looks ok !.

[Fenthedog]

Well done! Very good!

[SFTailoring]

Where did you get your waistcoat? Looks good, but I would say the shoulders need to be more narrow- only thing that catches my eye x

[HBJack]

Thanks Cristian! It's a lot of costume and a lot of stuff to place. I need a little more practice, especially on the sash!

My waistcoat is from Scott at YorDreem, very nice piece, I love it!

[HBJack]

Found the brass buttons for the Button dangle, removed the green patina from my ACME OST Flower belt - Goof Off and a brass brush!



Recieved my Telesis 5 glue for my Ms. Mazie beard



And I got my ACME Stolen ring, Richard is a mad prop master.



Organized my wig trinket extras too

[neojacksparrow]

I'm jealous of your organization...my Jack box is a mess

[Captain McCool]

Nicely done!

Haha, yeah... mine's pretty messy too. That's exactly what I'm trying to do with mine though. I want to get it all together and organized, and then make sure everything stays in its proper place. I already misplaced my trophy lace and flower buckle somewhere in my disaster of a bedroom :/

Anyway, lookin' real good mate!

[TheCursed]

OMG!!!! STOP!!!





Your Jack box has COMPARTMENTS!..mines just one big black hole of knotted cords stray beads keys coins and empty glue tubes lol
