Firebug in full



Here is the Firebug armour in full. As with all costumes, this one will continually evolve and become better. More details and weathering will be added on later, as we costumers strive to make our costumes as realistic and believable as possible.

Costuming has become part of me, and with the help of my other half, I am beginning to explore this new world. By exploring costuming, I also explore myself. I learn more about myself and where I am leading to when I design my costumes and help him work on his.

I also learn a great deal about the materials that he uses to make these costumes, and also about the techniques that are applied. So far, I am able to make my own helmet and armour out of board and fiberglass. I hope to be able to learn about fiberglass casting the next time I see him. It sounds interesting! :)

I also learned a lot about sci-fi and fantasy film and special effects techniques from him as we constantly explore new ways of making better costumes. I hope to be able to debut the Firebug armour during the Tunas Saintis event at MRSM Balik Pulau in October.
