The Outlander Club

There is a new layout over at the website: http://www.echuta.net/oc

Also, we've been putting up albums on the Outlander Club facebook page for each member. Make sure to stop by and check it out (and join if you haven't already)!

I'll be updating the site soon with a couple things, so if you want to submit a profile or a new costume or whatever, please feel free to do so and it will be added on the next update! :D

We now have a Facebook page for the Outlander Club!

There will be site updates and so on there, as well as discussions and so on.

I'm also working on a new layout for the site! So if you want anything added/updated to your profile (or you want a profile added to the site), please let me know! You can let me know here, at the FB page (if that's easier for you) or you can email me from the join/submit page on the OC site. :D

I had no idea there were going to be so many EU costumes at Dragon*Con this year! :D But since there are, it's time we figure out when we can all manage to get together for pictures! I've been going crazy with picture ideas in my head, so hopefully we can take a bunch of them. <333

And if anyone else who is going to Dragon*Con with an EU costume sees this and wants in, feel free to comment!

This is who I know will be at D*C and the costumes I have previously seen people list in places... I also marked off under that with a fancy little schedule if I know people will be unavailable at a certain point.

If you have any suggestions for times to meet (for any of the EU costumes/groups listed!), pictures to take or you want me to list costumes you're bringing that I don't have on here -- I'm sure I missed some >_< -- (or changes to the list) then let me know! :D

And the big one, when can the EU costumers meet ? :DDDD

Mara


and may be a Jaina and Dark Tahiri if I have enough time or money ;)

But I could make GAG Ben Skywalker may be, if we have a Caedus and Dark Tahiri I think was mentioned :) I want to make something with armor haha.

I look forward to seeing lots of EU costumes! ;D

Just an idea for other EU costumers. Originally I bought some coveralls to use as a jumpsuit base, but I found it was just too baggy. So I looked around for a hopeful pattern, since I'm not experienced enough to make my own. I found a really good pattern to use for a jumpsuit is a racing suit pattern. Apparantly the X-Wing costumes was made from this, and you can see in the collar and cuffs. The Green Pepper does a good one. It's close-fitting so if you wanted it baggier you could go the next size up ^____^

Anyone know where I can get or how to make a belt such as these? Also, know as "those damn belts on the Solo twins on the Young Jedi Knights covers that look like belts you have seen in the movies but you can't remember on who~"

Thank you in advance! :D

There is chatter of bringing a New Jedi Order: Star By Star costume group to Dragon*Con 2010 -- one of the 17-manned Jedi Strike Team that goes on a mission to Myrkr to smack some voxyns around and all that jazz. ;D

Here is the list of who we have (and might have so far) and if anyone thinks they might want in on project, please let me know!

So is anyone definitely going to Dragon*Con 2008? And are you doing an Expanded Universe costume? I sense photoshoots and general EU craziness must ensue if there are a few yes answers to these questions. XD

Namely Nen Yim. I have been working on a Yuuzhan Vong costume for a couple of months and have come to the stage where I need to start taking casts of my head and hands for prosthetics. I have done some minor prosthetic work before ie- limbs and torso, but never anything to do with the head. I know i'm probably going to require a full head cast, but rather than a complete mask I was trying to go for frontal facial prosthetics only. Does anyone here know the best way of doing this? I'm based in the UK so materials have been a bit expensive to ship for projects in the past.
Also, what are the best skin paints that are compatible with latex and do not rub off easily?

I've already devised a way of making the shapers headdress, and i'll be sure to register and post pics when everything is done.
