~3D maneuver gear~

I have to admit it, I've fallen in love with Shingeki no Kyojin as known as Attack on titan. Yeah I might be late starting watch and read it couple of weeks ago, but I have had no time to watch it earlier. It really lived up to my expectations and woke my interest towards anime cosplays again. That's why I decided to create Jean Kirstein cosplay to this summer's Kawacon, I started with the extraordinary and hard three dimensional maneuver gear that I have to built by myself ( because I can't afford to buy one .. ;_; ) Soo, I started making it few days ago, my father is helping me at times of course, and I can tell you it isn't that easy as I thought first.. ^^''

I started with the 'gas bottles' (idk if that's the right name for them..but anyways..) I used two 'tubes' that were meant for delivering posters. The one was smaller than the other so I cut the longer part away and glued it to the other 'tubes'. And I had to rip off those address papers, I ruined my nails, snif.

(in addition I also bought these shoes :'3)

After that I glued parts of a bottle to them and cut two pieces of fiberglass tube and glued the parts together. It was hard because the glue I used didn't want to stick .__. After that I just added two beads to the fiberglass. Now they're waiting to get painted ^^ 

I also cut a part of bigger poster tube and glued pieces of carton to a pencil (that I destroyed). I also added two handmade (made of newspaper) beads to it. Now I have to 'glue it to a belt that I also bought few days earlier. That's all for now, I hope I can create a great cosplay ^-^
