Rechroming Phasma this week (I'll keep pics updated), I forgot how many pieces there are, somehow. SO MANY PIECES.

Not only did I get a certain Chrome Dome repainted this week, but I set up a shoot with a fantastic Kylo Ren! I'm so excited! #chromedome #cosplayprogress #progress #armor #flexiblefiberglass #starwars #starwarscosplay #501st #theforceawakens #thelastjedi

STAR WARS IN 5 DAYS!!! Captain Phasma Cosplay vs Character seemed appropriate! Honestly I'm not going to be checking more than close friends feeds until then, apparently ppl are already posting spoilers (because jerks) so I'll be avoiding that!

A new pic of my Captain Phasma, by @robsomersphoto at DragonCon! I have a LOT of stuff I hope to redo on this costume this winter, but it's all costly so it will have to wait. Especially the Chroming I found. But I'll get it! I have new foam on the way now to remake some parts. #captainphasma #phasma #phasmacosplay #phasmacostume #501st #firstorder #starwars #starwarscosplay #tfa #tlj #starwarscostume #armor #flexiblefiberglass #shinyandchrome

I still haven't typed up Phasma's construction notes, but here's a fantastic picture someone sent me from DragonCon!! The babby Kylo was so much fun, and the big Kylo was so sweet and inclusive, we talked costumes and it was so nice to meet him and some other Force Awakens cosplayers after being blown off by some 501st dudebros. 🌌 ❤ Star Wars is for everyone in the galaxy, kiddies.❤🌌 #captainphasma #phasma #phasmacosplay #phasmacostume #501st #tfa #theforceawakens #forceawakens #starwars #starwarscosplay #starwarscostume #flexiblefiberglass #armor #costume #cosplay

Captain Phasma: did I mention I'm still working on this? 💀💄PLEASE: I am NOT asking for advice on this build, see explanation below 💀💄 That's my little "inspirational Phasma" sketch on my massive progress checklist! I have a "finish by" date in mind (end of summer), and I am plowing through when I have even just an hour on evenings/weekends, along with 3 others I've started! The first thing I've tried to do is adjust fittings: this thing is HUGE. It's made from flexible fiberglass, so I've been cutting down some pieces and taking them in as I can, but even then I will be lining them with anything from 1-2" foam so the pieces don't rattle around on me. You can see how large some of it is, there's a piece on my calf and there's so much room! On top of that, I've Plasti-dip'ed the insides of the armor, because the rough side of flexible fiberglass was shedding off on my hands/arms when I worked, and it was making me crazy! It's much easier to handle, now. I'm also carving the little rectangles and details, and have attached all of my tabs. 💀💄I have been super hesitant to continue posting my progress pics, but I WANT to so I'm starting again. I noticed that every time I did, Star Wars dudes would come blazing in with all kinds of unsolicited advice. I've sadly noticed this almost entirely happens only with Star Wars armor. I don't care about how 501st-ers or Mandalorians do it. I don't care if they'd do it a different way, or don't agree with my choice of materials, or mount theirs in a different way. For a while I was deleting comments, then I just gave up. Guys (and yes, it was only guys) STAHP. Let me do this my way. I've made hundreds of costumes, I'll manage. I'm having fun, and that's all that matters in cosplay! 👍💖 #phasma #captainphasma #captainphasmacostume #phasmacosplay #phasmacostume #tfa #theforceawakens #lastjedi #thelastjedi #starwars #starwarscosplay #celebrations #starwarscelebrations #starwarscostume #armor #flexiblefiberglass #cosplayarmor #costumearmor #cosplay #cosplayprogress
