Chunk[501st] Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hey Everyone, Got a way off question here. Does anyone have a Girlfriend or Wife who wears a Slave Bikini? I've had my wife's sitting in a box for 3yrs. So it takes me awhile to get to my projects I'm ready to attach the bra cups to the resin frame. Has anyone made one of these in the past? Will E6000 work? We have a troop this weekend & I would like to finish it before then. Everyone wondering why I've had all my costumes sitting in boxes for 3yrs In 2007 for Clebration 4. We saw all these wonderful costumes. We had decent costumes, but the ones that the Reblel Legion & 501st had were AWSOME! As soon as we got home my wife & I decided to upgrade our costumes. We have lots of pets & its hard to find sitters(& expensive). So we havn't had much time to troop. But now is the time to get everything in order & troop as much as we can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThayNerd[TK] Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) I think E6000 would be fine for the job, just don't use too much. I used that on my fiancee's slave leia and it worked fine. She wore it for about 10 hours a Comic Con last year without any problems. Edited May 11, 2010 by ThayNerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man this slave bikini is the most difficult cosume I've ever worked on, & I'm pretty good at making costumes & props Wasn't too sure how to make the curvature of the cup. I finally figured out that I would have to sew in some "wedges" This worked out perfect. I used an unlikly tool today in helping me shape the bra material to the frame. Would you belive I used my softball to fill the bra cup I sewed some knots around the fabric & the frame to hold the material in. I trimed the excess material off & removed the knots, then glued the piece in. Came out perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThayNerd[TK] Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Nice, we used modified bra cups from a fabric store and glued them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunk[501st] Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Here's some pics fom my troop today. We had a great time. We were there to promote Tommy T's Toys & Treasures. A specialty toy, sci fi store. Since I was not done with TK, I wore my Tie Pilot. Slave Leia is my wife Tina. I worked on her costume for 2 days. I can honestly say that was the hardest costume I've ever worked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She rescues dogs on the day their to be put down at the SPCA. Or she'll rescue a stray dog on the streets. She keeps them til they can be adopted by loving families.
