Yi's 7 sis WIP and looking for suggestions.

[IdrilYli]

It's not really a work-in-process yet, but I want to start this post asap to keep myself on track. Former sisters' posts here are really helpful.

Recently I am working on a 7 sis off-duty look for a local convention so some of the pictures here are just tests. Chinese Garrison will have a booth there if nothing else happens, looking forward to get some information directly from them.

Questions first:

Is it technically possible to make her glasses glide up manually with 3-D print or whatsoever?  
And what materials do you suggest for the glasses that they are dark but still clear enough to see things. 

 

These curves still need repaints but the color looks good.

CRL says that heels should be about 2.5 cm/1 inch high, but I also notice that the heels in sample pic are higher than that. So I'm thinking to get something like this boot below, about 4.5-5 cm high, using the red curves and half-chaps to make the heels look like 2.5 cm high, if that's ok.

A friend from Garrison suggested me to use Velcro since visible zips are not allowed. I've contact a shoemaker online and they agree to make the half-chaps for me after I got the proper boots.

 

 

Wasn't sure about the size of these patches when purchasing them, but so far so good. I can use the same patches after the jacket is done.

 

These are the first makeup attempt and the color was a bit greenish (dots are not so accurate either), but I'm improving it. Prefer to cover my eyebrows since mine are thicker than hers.

 

Lightsaber is bought from Ultimate Works. It was pre-ordered a few months ago and I didn't expected to have it before the end of this year. It's a big part of the reason I start this work.

It's been months and I got stucked for being distracted. But there are some small progresses I want to share.  

The second pair of boots red lines were finished. Details still look lousy for using liquid paint, but friends of Chinese Garrison WIP chat group encouraged me, and suggested me to try paint pens. So I decided to move on my third trial with that. 

I asked Jinta (Jinta Props) about the clothes part but he is really busy. Two other tailors refused me for "not good at this style", and so for got one tailor is willing to work it on. I never order any clothes in their shop, and they quoted a pretty low price for customizing. These worry me but I willing to give them a try. I just sent them the CRL waiting for further response.

 

I also contacted 果大, a well-known armor maker in our community, if he can model me a helmet for me first. He responded me with a 3D modelling video of it sooner than I expected, and it looks beautiful. He is working on another order of Garrison member right now and hasn't quote price yet, but he promised to get back to me after finishing that.

Ok, I just got tailor's response about the CRL, refusal again but I am relieved. I knew that a lower price would mean a less detailed work. This is good for both of us.
