WIP Nihilus COFT

Super helpful, thank you. The belt construction you described is exactly what I did. Total cost was very low even with the purchase of Chicago screws. Leather was from Amazon and saves $100+ from buying off etsy, where most belts are incorrect to the CRL anyway.

Congrats again.

I think I paid around 160 DKK for all the materials for the belt, and it is totally worth it to make it yourselves , you can save money and get the correct looking belt.

Thank you so much - looking forward to seeing, how you put yours together.

Hi

I used a normal shirt pattern for the tunics and moded it so it fit - the same with the skirts, and just winged it, so sadly I don´t have an exact pattern for them.

what type of fabric did you use for your Nihilus trying to create one as well 

[Bpierson98]

I personally used raw black silk for pretty much everything.  The sleeves I made out of a black cloth I found at the local fabric store.

[Heavy1973]

I used a silk blend I found, that gave the right drape for the whole thing and a natural weave fabric for the sleeves

I have retirede my Nihilus costume and given my oldest son the suit - we have adjusted it and he has just send in pictures to our GML for approval - he wears it nicely

Sorry for the late respons, didn´t get a notification   

No sadly I just don´t get to use it as much as I wanted to, and my son liked it, so it is a win for him - he got approved without issues, so that was nice for a change. 

I am in the making of another costume at the moment, but perhaps I´ll do another Nihilus at some point

Would you mind sharing wherr you got the stl for the mask?

[Heavy1973]

I did a lot of mods to the mask, and I can´t find the file anymore, but this one can be used as the base, if you make the adjustments like I did and reshape the eyes and chins

The fabric where your eyes are, is that in front of the black mask(behind the white mask), or behind the eyes on the black mask (face side)?

[Heavy1973]

The black fabric is glued on the inside of the white mask
