New Hunter
Decade-long lurker, first time poster here. I've been wanting to do a Zam Wesell costume for a long time, but never had the skills or funds to do it. Last month I scored the brown leather Prada boots and finally decided it was time to make this dream come true. Last week I finished making my neoprene pants and shirt. This week I am starting on the lambskin vest and I plan to start making the skirt and cummerbund/belt after that. Cast parts of the armor and greeblies will be on their way shortly. I'll post periodic updates here as I finish the major pieces!
Photos below of the shoes, shirt, and pants. Question for any experienced Zams: should I crop my shirt and use a more breathable fabric for the bottom? Should I insert mesh in the middle for more breathability? I know the shirt/vest combo will get hot very quickly and I'm trying to decide what will work best. I have plenty of extra neoprene if I need to make another shirt. I would love to hear your input!
