Costume Details
This cosplay followed much of the same construction process as my Sailor Saturn cosplay, with a few refinements to the patterning.
The main difference was the prop, which was resin printed. To reduce weight, I moulded then cast the teal backing from Smooth-Cast 300. The metallic colour was created by brushing chrome powder into the mould before pouring in the casting materials, which turned out great!
Due to its comfort, this costume is a favourite of mine to wear to conventions when I’m guesting!
