Plague Doctor - Xmez - Saturday 27-Aug-2016 Hey peps. I've decided to put together a plage doctor costume to wear at cons and at non-501st events. Here's my progress so far today. started off with making a coif and added some shoulder pads. I'm not too happy with how the coif is sitting. I may scrap it and try again. I then put together the front and back capes. (I promise I am wearing pants). So yeah, this is gonna be my weekend project. Any advice or ideas are welcome. It's looking very assassins creed at the moment and I'm not too happy with that either... We'll see how I go. Xmez. RE: Plague Doctor - pecklez - Sunday 28-Aug-2016 wow u def been busy cj.....did the gloves look allright RE: Plague Doctor - Xmez - Sunday 28-Aug-2016 Yeah the gloves are looking fine so far. RE: Plague Doctor - PhantomBlade - Sunday 28-Aug-2016 Very nice! I might need to make an Ezio to wear with it. RE: Plague Doctor - Xmez - Sunday 28-Aug-2016 So today I failed to make a hat... But I did get the inner robes (poorly) done and made a belt and some pouches too. Looks like I need to add some more material to the bottom layer... Way to easy to see that line. RE: Plague Doctor - Xmez - Monday 29-Aug-2016 I don't think I can save this as a plague doctor... I may have to get a sword and convert it into a templar costume. RE: Templar (formerly Plague Doctor) - Imperial Drone - Monday 29-Aug-2016 Turning lemons into lemonade. I like your style RE: Plague Doctor - Xmez - Wednesday 31-Aug-2016 So... I decided I would push though with the plague doctor... I may yet be able to salvage it with some heavy weathering... make it look like I've walking through a bloody battlefield... Either way, I have finished making my hat v2.0. I made it on a stronger base and had to hand sew it cause I couldn't do it on a machine. I'm sure it can be done... it's just I couldn't. Either way I think it turned out kinda sorta okay... RE: Plague Doctor - Xmez - Thursday 6-Oct-2016 Belt for the plague doctor, done. I've named the pistol "Mercy" RE: Plague Doctor - Xmez - Thursday 13-Oct-2016 With the belt on. Next step is a surgical tool vest. RE: Plague Doctor - DannytheBlue - Friday 28-Oct-2016 Looks well cool , nice work CJ RE: Plague Doctor - Xmez - Saturday 29-Oct-2016 Started working on the breather backpack today. Below is today's progress on the box and the electronics.  I'm planning on cutting down one of the white canisters to use as an oxygen tank that will hang below the box. It will have functional lights on the control board and one of the switches will turn the breather pack on and off. I still have to put together a piston pump to drive the breather. RE: Plague Doctor - Xmez - Sunday 30-Oct-2016 Very little progress today. Wasted half the day recovering from last night. But i got the accordion breather done.  Now I just need to build a crank and figure out some gearing to slow the rotations down to about 10-12 rpm. It's currently set at 38rpm. Any thoughts would be welcome.  RE: Plague Doctor - Xmez - Thursday 17-Nov-2016 Did some painting.... just procrastinating about putting together the drive shaft to pump the breather tube... still not 100% sure how I'm going to do it... RE: Plague Doctor - Xmez - Sunday 21-May-2017 Whoops, forgot to update this thread. The doctor, is done... I decided to scrap the backpack as it turned into more of a headache than I planned. I still have some weathering to do but overall I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.
