April 2009
Four way stretch PVC jumpsuit, with piping on several body seams, leather holster, harness and belts. Faux suede hood and gloves.
The shin guards were my major sticking point with this costume. I have no leg forms to sculpt over and had not practiced with fibregass or other rigid armour making material. Luckily some friends had a spare set of male shin armour that was vacformed. I was able to cut them down, reshape and trim them with shims of styrene to create the distinctive look of Mara's armour.
The goggles were WWII welding goggles and I simply restored them and added smoked lenses rather than alter them too much.
