Personal Gallery - Replica
My first costuming experience was in replicating costumes seen on screen. Choosing to make my own Jedi robe in 1999 was what launched me into the world of replica costuming. For a while, I only had one costume, but going to conventions and speaking online with others in the hobby showed me the range of possibilities that existed for making and modeling costumes.
Here are some examples of the costumes I've replicated so far for myself.

Helena (black variant)
Dead or Alive 3
|
This costume is also featured on my Ring Game page, because I first constructed it to play a "sexy" Sauron. After the game was over, I styled a long blond wig in the character's hairstyle in order to wear the costume, complete, as a video game replica to conventions.
Costume highlights:
- Gold scrolling on skirt is fabric paint
- Bodice personally tailored to my shape in order to eliminate visible closures
- Skirt closure hidden by one of the side-panels with gold studs

Hero "Lazlo"
Suikoden IV
|
Roleplaying video games have the greatest number of complex, interesting costumes to recreate. I fell in love with the Hero of Suikoden IV after watching his backside run through the game for fifty hours, and man, did I want his swords.
The main photo here shows another costume I did for a friend, Snowe (from the same game). I sewed the vest and boot covers.
Costume highlights:
- Uniquely trimmed seams in jacket
- Armor is Rigidwrap (plaster) covered in Hearty clay
- Swords are completely wood, paperclay, and leather (grips)
- Belt is completely made from scratch, stained, and riveted
Awards:
- Hall costume ribbon - CostumeCon 25, 2007

Nini "Legs-in-the-air"
Moulin Rouge
|
The first version of this costume was attempted for Halloween 2001. I spent the next two years constantly upgrading the dress, adding detail and changing the bodice and ruffles to more closely replicate Nini's dress.
Costume highlights:
- Sequined windmills in skirt
- Eight layers of box-pleated ruffles
Awards:

Luminara Unduli,
Jedi Master
Star Wars: Episode 2
|
Without detailed pictures to work from, I had to design much of the fit using an action figure. That was the only reference for the tiered gown.
The headdress was the most complicated part, going through several versions before I found one that looked the most correct.
Costume highlights:
- The pendant is hand made using Sculpey
- The vambraces are stained leather while the belt accent is vinyl and acrylic paint
- Ben Nye and Graftobian theatrical makeup was used
Awards:
- Judges Award at FilmCon 2003
- Workmanship Medal at CONvergence 2003

Jedi
Star Wars

My original tunics are a Qui-Gon Jinn (Star Wars Episode 1) replica in linen and linen/cotton blends. The robe is wool. Belt buckle by SFPROPS, lightsaber by Larbel.
In 2003, a friend and I made working Starfighter headsets (seen in Episode 2) to go with our FRS radios. As far as I know, we are the only ones who have even attempted this prop replica.
