Hello All! I have been a silent stalker of the 405th for a while now and I’ve finally made enough progress in my first costume that I’d like to share it with you guys (and ladies). 
I’ve been working on this costume on and off for about 4 months. Thanks to work and school, I haven’t been able to dedicate anywhere near the amount of time I’d like to to getting it done.
My plan is to paint 3 layers for all the patterning on the suit. I’ve got layer one done except for the back of the legs and the feet.
I’ll be doing one black base layer, then 2 layers of a deep metallic blue. Following that I’ll be adding silver detailing.
I started by tracing the entire suit out onto computer paper one limb at a time. I then sketched out the designs and then began the fun fun job to transferring those designs onto the body suit. The torso wasn’t actually too bad because I was able to paint that while it was on my duct tape dummy. The rest I had to paint on myself while wearing it. I have to say, painting your own butt is a challenge.
Ironicly, the fabric my suit is made of is the exact same fabric that Cortana (member of this site) used to sew hers. When she told me that I felt both awesome and stalkerish since her costume is my favorite Cortana out there and defiantly have to say she was a big inspiration.
I’m waiting on my wig still, so forgive the hair I should have it in a week or so, then as soon as I’ve cut ad styled it I’ll put up more pictures!
The gloves I’m wearing are actually a pair of EMS gloves but they match all the colors perfectly so I think they’re going to be the gloves I use. Also I’m broke and they’re free.
I just got my makeup in the mail today so I had to try it out. I don’t think I did too shabby but if anybody has any pointers let me know!
Strong Cortana!
