As I'm finishing up my Adepta Dialogus for OZ CC I'm becoming seriously tempted to pull out my Sister of Battle and start fixing her up. It's been almost a year since I last wore her. I miss being in that cosplay and I can never have enough photos of me in it because I love every one. It's the cosplay that makes me feel the best about myself. Anyway rambling. So I was thinking as I remake parts and add/fix her up that I do "Sister of Battle tips" for other cosplayers. Things I have learned and would like to pass on to future cosplayers or even ones who want to modify/make their own ones better. Including, rigging, hidden pockets, placement of armour, detailing, weathering, dressing. Thoughts?

Adepta Dialogus WIP Belt! Made the icon a little to big originally, then scalled it down and found that some halloween skulls were the perfect size.

30 days of cosplay challenge

29. What is your favourite cosplay item? (eg. a pair of shoes, a wig) My faun hooves, they were my first BIG endeavour into molds and resin casting. I failed in one casting by not mixing a batch of resin properly so when I drilled holes in it to then attach the shoes it oozed unset resin which prevented the glue from setting. I didn’t realise this until I wore the costume a few times. I had to recast the hoof entirely. It was a learning experience and one I hope I wont have to repeat.
