Costume in Progress: Poe Dameron/X-wing Flight Suit (Ep. VII)
I am brand new to the organized cosplaying community, and was silly enough to put this in the Imperial intro forums - pasting it here, where it's probably supposed to go.
I am putting finishing touches on an upgraded chest box/life support unit today, and hope to take some entry/judging pictures this coming week! I've tried to pull up the Rebel Legion forum to look at the submission guidelines, but have gotten a 'forum down for maintenance' message the last few days. Guidance on submitting myself for judging and approval would be greatly appreciated!
Here's an old picture from Disneyworld Orlando (with the old foam chest box, and a saber hilt vice my GLIE-44 for park rules) from awhile back. I only moved to Oregon a year ago, and before that, I lived in the boonies - there weren't any 501st/Rebel Legion events within hours and hours of me. But participating in this is something I've been preparing to do for a long time - hence the basically-finished outfit.
I bought a Creality CR-10 awhile back for the express purpose of being able to print costume armor, and it has come in handy many times already. Now that I've got a fully decked-out flight suit, I want to start making some Imperial armor!
