Pickles

Thanks for taking the time to do such a detailed reply. I will look into making improvements.

Hello everyone! This is my first attempt at a Talon build so please go easy on me. Here is what I have so far. I'd like input from the experts on things that I can improve. Let me start off with, I do know the lekku are too short for Talon. Those will be upgraded in time. I also know the body suit is not approvable. I wouldn't mind some input on the tattoos though for future reference. It seems like there's quite a bit up for interpretation based on the different reference images from the comics. Those tattoo templates are somewhat difficult to interpret. Here are my build progress photos: The body suit is lycra that I rolled liquid latex on (2 coats) to make it appear more skin-like and hide the seams. The paint is reel creations air brush ink. I mixed red with deep red to get a darker tone. The gloves, bikini top, belt, and boots are leather. The armor plates are 22 gauge steel that has been acid etched for the black color. The straps are leather that have been riveted on and close with velcro. I'd love tips on how to keep the boots and gloves up - so far I have tried duct tape (failed), double sided tape (huge fail), and hooks (mild success? The hooks pull on the suit and cause wrinkles). Here are the most up to date photos of where the costume is now:
