Oh hi guys! I totally lost momentum on this after I didn't cram it into Celebration VI. But alas, the finished armor sitting lonely in its little sad box caught my eye and well, why not, Bo Katan is kind of awesome (ie: really awesome).
Working on making everything more spiffy. Also a helmet off version since I get sweaty and gross and maybe just walking around without a helmet is okay too.
Wig:
Girl you have crazy hair. I'm never-minding those weird geometric chunks towards the ends, go home Dave Filoni, you're drunk.
I started with a wig from one of my favorite vendors, Epic Cosplay.
https://www.epiccosplay.com/ It is a Chronos- 14" in Autumn Orange. I also ordered a pack of short wefts because this little guy won't get the job done alone.
Here's the wig lightly parted down the middle where the part belongs. Obviously this won't do.
I used a method similar to Arda Wig's tutorial here to create a new part for the wig.
Yay! Much better! I also trimmed the hair into a A-line bob, surprisingly the most time consuming part, wasn't the part. Ahaha get it? Whewwww....
Okay moving on!
I patterned up a headband.
And heat shaped that sucker.
Right now I'm adding on layers of a product called Smooth On's Epsilon

It is a foam coating epoxy and is kind of amazing.
Stay tuned!
