fangrrl_squeesI usually post costume ideas on my not-very-fannish journal, but this one had to be shared here.
Let's see. I know I've got a side of heavyweight distressed leather at home, and a sizable bit of more traditional mid-weight leather (shiny, water-resistant finish, unlike the distressed), quite a few smooth rivets from some damfool craft project, some sheet-plastic left from MPWP, and grey primer spray paint...
Son of a gun, as long as I could find a buckle and figure out how I'd want to do the detailing on that center, I could put that together in a weekend.
My only quibble, doesn't the dam' thing have a flap over it, now? Hm. I'd like a pic of that, too.
What would I do with it? I don't know. Give it to someone who wants to cosplay Jack, probably. Or keep it for a random SF-costume persona and only smile knowingly when someone asks about where I got it. :)
ETA: Other images of the prop itself - it's just to the upper right of the printed-out headshot of Jack - suggest something quite different, which is a bit of a shame, as I like the concept drawing, more. It'd be easier to make, too.
Then again, I might be looking at quite the wrong thing.

Date: 2006-11-30 11:53 pm (UTC)I take it that if I do it, you want pix? Or, better yet, you'd like one yourself?
Famous last words, I know, but it doesn't look like it would be too much trouble to make.
(place your bets as to how long it is before I post "ARRRGH! This sucks! This sucks!" etc)
