About this Costume
- Construction Details:
-
I made every single part of this costume including the patterns for all of the pieces. I painted all of the buttons and made my own beads when I couldn't find similar ones at any stores near me. I even made a pair of boxers for this costume as a joke. It was the most work I've ever put into a cosplay. Usually I just half-ass everything.
- Personal Thoughts:
- This is the most detailed, complicated, and time-consuming costume I have made to date. It was a personal challenge to make it as accurate as I could while still using the same pants/shirt/boots from his original costume. All of the buttons and zippers are fully functional, the shirt underneath has the weird stitching on it, the pants and chaps are separate, I painted a pair of earrings and even remodeled my hammer props to go with this version of the costume. I'm not entirely satisfied with it, but I am still proud of what I made.
