Wow. I am so sorry for not being able to post for a long time. I have been doing bits and bobs for the cosplay since I last posted so I shall update!
I have purchased my ears and blue contact lenses! I haven't tried the contacts yet but the ears did need some work. I got the offical LOTR latex ear tips as they had pretty good reviews. They fit well etc etc The only catch is that their this horrible sickly pale colour that I think must be humanely impossible to actually be!! So I have painted them a more flesh colour :)
I have finished the shoulder pieces for the armour and just need to weather one. Here the before and after pic :D I have also attached velcro to the inside of these and corresponding ones to the dress.
Today I also did the neck piece
I'm just waiting on some thinner wire to attach the beads etc
I have also been doing work on the wig and its about half done. Now all I need to do is the last piece of jewellery and the wig then I can fit it together >8D Mwahahahaaa. The end is in sight!!
