Starscream Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I found these at deviant art, best Sheryl ever IMO... Thanks to Adella ROFL!!! I almost forgot about her. Adella (not her real name) is awesome- I've known her for fart, 10 years now. Hell, she was at my Basic Military Graduation 8 years ago. Awesome girl, miss hanging out with her. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I used to hang around with a cosplayer who went by Eiko even tho she was Romanian/Spanish XD And then my GF chooses to go by Kristie even though her real name is nowhere close... nobody uses their real name, nobody likes theirs enough.

Hikuro Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I just ordered the Frontier 25 and SMS Patches off HLJ....though I know I'm gonna get raped on shipping and currency charges. This will help me make an SMS Jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Morpheus Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 This is GARrest Ozma. Now that's how you make a SMS jacket in leather. Awesome shot. I just got home from working on my own (in cotton/poly ). I find it interesting that so many went for a leather/vinyl look when none of the animation suggests it. It can look good if done well I suppose. I'm more shocked and a little placated by the fact that nobodies gotten the length right, even the sleeves. All of one appeared to shorted the sleeves. The jacket length I get (even I'm keeping the length), but the sleeves are a tad surprising. I'm modding a jacket I got at a thrift shop for four bucks. I'm adding about six dollars worth (less if you only count the cut material) of red polyester. I just attached the side panels tonight. It was a pain to get both sides to match up, but I think I did the best I could. I'm amazed we were able to machine sew it. I murdered the three pockets of the jacket though. No biggie. I also printed out the patches on cotton iron-ons and will sew them on in case I ever get ahold of the real things. It too won't be 100% accurate due to the jacket being used (though can one complain with 4 dollars). There's no chest pocket (I may fake it), and no collar strap (yet). There's a decorative overlap on the byline of the jacket, but I don't think it kills it. Animation omits details after all. I'm going to try to shorten the sleeves. There's a snap overlap for the zipper, but I think I can incorporate it well. It may not be perfect, but it'll be damn close, and at a mere 20 or so dollar investment, a nice bargain. This is my second Macross costume, after Max. I'll post pics if anyone's interested. I hope to finish it by tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starscream Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Good deal. Also passed on the love to Adella. ROFL, I'm at work so I don't have access to photosharing at work but when I get home I'll have to post some of the older pics of her wearing my old BDU top. It's amusing. On a sidenote, I was joking with her and said I might go to a Con in the future (pending free time and money), and if so I'll dress like Zero Roy Focker since (once again, due to being military) I have a real Flight Suit and would just need to get some velcro patches custom made (Flight Suit patches are always velcro for ease of removal in the event of being shot down in order to conceal unit and what-not, as well as for ease of cleaning). I think it'd go over well since I already have the Roy Focker look minus the longer hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Morpheus Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I finished the bottom lining for the most part, and began work on the side stripes. I've decided to basically sew the over flap down as 2 inches was too wide to keep it screen accurate. It should be done by tomorrow. It's looking pretty sharp so far. The Mihoshi Academy shirt as well. Though I still need a front patch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually I'll get around to having Roy Focker's patches made up (Skull Squadron and Asuka-II Carrier patches, as well as name patch). I'll post pics when that happens. Sidenote, and only because I was "directed" to by Adella- "DON'T FORGET TO MENTION WE KISSED LIKE FOREVER AGO!" Don't ask. Long story but she was at my Basic Training Graduation back in 2000. Back in the day when things were simple. :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikuro Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 i need to order a second patch, forgot the frontier 25 insignia is on both shoulders...wonder why it isnt on one shoulder and skull on the other? I need to think about the fabrics I want to use, yes, black and red, however quality is the issue...I though faux leather, but itll be hot wearing it, and red is difficult to find. Guess I wll just need to find either someone to make it or pay the mother figure a hefty amount, though some reason she hates doing this stuff.

Mercurial Morpheus Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Best pic of the patch I've found: http://www.shopncsx.com/images/products/de..._ss_shirt_w.jpg Thanks a lot. Hopefully I'll have time to whip up something in GIMP. It looks like most fans are just guessing as well. No official image it seems, and the quality fluctuates heavily from shot to shot... I've got the stars already. The pic should help. Maybe I should look at more cosplay pics for concepts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Well, that shot is of the "official" shirt they're making, so I figure they got the specs from the production team etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Morpheus Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) Well, that shot is of the "official" shirt they're making, so I figure they got the specs from the production team etc. Indeed? Well, then that'll do as best as any then. Thanks to your pic, I whipped these up. They're not perfect, but they're something. I made an alternate with the school name on it. The scroll work just looked like it needed something. I know its not canon, but it makes some sense. Which do you guys think looks better? I've got a vote for the name version from a friend so far. Naturally, anyone who wishes to use these may. Just give credit when needed. Edited September 24, 2008 by Mercurial Morpheus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The version with the name looks more natural though I am tempted to say that perhaps a different, more scholarly (old english) font may be in order...

Mercurial Morpheus Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) I'm on a newer computer, so I don't have a full range of fonts yet. I'll grab some more fonts and mess around with it, but it does indeed look more natural. EDIT Something like this?

VFTF1 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I'm being lazy and buying the Cospa shirt. Just hope Japanese XL will fit me... will it? I'm 195cm (about 6 foot, 2 inches) and while I'm not fat - or at least...I don't think I'm fat...that is - I have a fast metabolism, so I tend to bloat after meals but then quickly regain a good waste in hours... still... will XL fit me? nice work on the patches and respect to you guys for working on your own shirt.

Mercurial Morpheus Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) nice work on the patches and respect to you guys for working on your own shirt. Pete Thanks. Though when one factors that making the shirt, as long as one doesn't mind the absence of side buttons, cost me a mere ten dollars (five of it for the stars, so only five otherwise), compared to 90 bucks, it's a no-brainer. Any final thoughts on which patch to use. I need to make it by tonight. Jacket is done barring some handstitching to finish it. Aside for some limited arm movement, it looks bloody awesome.
