Members TTcustom Posted October 25, 2009 Members Report Posted October 25, 2009 Just finished the leather (leatherneck?) collar with "Airship Master Pilot" emblem tooled into it. Now here is the whole costume complete.

Members Montezuma Monazym Posted October 25, 2009 Members Report Posted October 25, 2009 As I said earlier, you and this costume are just too cute! Awesome job on everything; you're sure to be a hit at the Halloween party. Though, in my humble opinion, you should just walk around like this every day. :D Quote

Members cgleather Posted October 25, 2009 Members Report Posted October 25, 2009 Very nice Tim!!!! Well worth the time put into it. Quote
Members TTcustom Posted October 25, 2009 Author Members Report Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) Thanks MM, Storm, CG! Regimental is the only way to go Storm. For authenticity of course. I almost do want to walk around like this all the time. I need more hats and kilts! Backedit: Here is the detail of the leather shirt collar.

Members CitizenKate Posted October 25, 2009 Members Report Posted October 25, 2009 Great costume, Tim, very imaginative and well-done. Maybe some theatrical troupes would be interested in your work. Kate Quote
tashabear Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Next to the vambrace, I think that the collar is my favorite part! Very handsome! Quote
Members mooshi Posted October 25, 2009 Members Report Posted October 25, 2009 Did you make the boots? They look awesome! Mooshi Quote

Members scottishshoemaker Posted October 25, 2009 Members Report Posted October 25, 2009 Hats off to you TT. That is one way cool costume. Like the kilt very untraditional. But that's what I like about it. Puts us Scots to shame! Quote You Want It, I'll Make It!
Members TTcustom Posted October 26, 2009 Author Members Report Posted October 26, 2009 Thanks everyone. It was a lot of fun doing it. Thanks 'Roo Kate I was finishing the jacket hours before the party and just got the sleeves hemmed before I had to get ready. Tasha that vambrace looking nice is a big credit to your help. Mooshi no the boots are made by a shop up in Idaho that I think has since moved on. They wear well and the buffalo is really tough but comfortable. Thank you RS Sara that is why I like your mom. BAM! Thanks George! Maybe someday I will get a real kilt!

Members THE BIG RED VIKING Posted October 26, 2009 Members Report Posted October 26, 2009 That is possibly one of the coolest thing I have seen. I like the single action on the hip. Have you by chance read the book Boneshaker I think you would enjoy it? Quote D.I.L.L.I.G.A.S
Members TTcustom Posted October 26, 2009 Author Members Report Posted October 26, 2009 I haven't read it Big Red but I have it on my list now!
