TRC - Kurogane Work in Progress - part 1
So i started making Kurogane's outfit during my holidays few months back...and the works goes a little like this...
The main material was p-leather (black and red) and some rubber flooring material my friend said called 'linoleum' to add some thickness to it. A lot of maths n measurements involved... and i cut the shape of the 'top' accordingly.
Finished pasting the red lines on the 'tube top'. the thicker red part i sent to a cobbler to sew it so it 'sticks' stronger and doesn't crumple under abuse.
Same method used for the shoulder armor. Black leather pasted/sewn on the linoleum sheets... and then cut out the shape. Add red detailing later.
Sew it together with red threads. Also add the holes thing.
These are the arm coverlets. Cut out the pleather to shape and add red detailing. Afterward sew on the Velcro.
The belt around the waist... used to carry his sword and 'ninja bombs'. Made from the same way... cut the shape out from the red pleather and fold+glue/sew in the edges.
The whole set so far. Notice that i already sewn in the jacket-zip on the tube-top so it's wearable now. Also made the shoulder straps.... but it's not in this picture.
Combined the tube-top and the shoulder straps. Yeap suffered some 'accidents' along the way....
Finished making the top, shoulder armour and arm thingies~ yay!!!
Cut out 3 pieces of pleather and sew them together to make each of the boot covers. Sew rubber-band underneath the platforms so the boot-covers stick onto the boots.
Glue the red pleather detailings and sew the red threads onto it...and the boots are done! <3
The 'mask' made out of pleather and boxboard, with rubber straps.
The cloak still needs to be shredded later on...
Lastly the dragon-sword. It was modified from a cheap katana replica. My friend Dante helped molding the dragon head from the loghtweight-clay i gave him. And then i made and combined the handle detailings part and combined the sword blade together. tadah! Done! <3
......
However.... the sword broke during our recent skit/competition....so we'll be making a new and better dragon sword for AFA. ^^;; While we're in topic.... the tube-top also got ripped during that skit so we'll be remaking that and the shoulder armors too.... as soon as we buy more materials. woohoo~ till next WIP update! o/
