The all-important weapon:
I'm still struggling with the blade, but that should be done soon, hopefully. This project will be my first attempt in leather working. A little frightening for how unforgiving that material is, but I'm excited anyway.

So I've been working slowly on a Juhani
costume for the last few months. Mostly, collecting so far. But I finally have something to show for it.

Very nice! What makes the yellow/gold part? Is that painted or dyed aliminum, or is it pieced together pieces of brass?

Thanks! This is a thecustomsabershop.com pieced together saber. The gold part is paint with enamel over it. It stays on in most places, but I painted the
inside of those ovular holes at the top, and the paint really wants to fall off there. I guess I didn't sand the metal quite enough there.

After nine months, I finally did get this costume done in time for CONvergence. Not everyone saw it at the con, so I thought I would share it. ^_^
I've got more pictures here if anyone is curious. It's definitely one of my favorite costumes yet. |

Thanks! I love doing costumes that haven't been done before. The only bar I have to reach is one I set for myself, and I don't have anyone else's
interpretations of materials to affect my vision for a costume.
