Description After a whirlwind 9 months this Cosplay reached its first convention Oz Comic Con Melbourne!!

Lt Sasha Kaidanovsky from Pacific Rim.

A Joint work with the ever awesome  

LillyKitten worked on the under suit, fake leather work, and translating and then writing on all the Russian lettering, and finally wearing the costume.
shelbelly took body casts, sculpted, moulded and cast each part, painted and finished the parts. 
Rozalyn Quinn was the hair and make-up. 

This has been a massive effort from the both of us, and at times I wasn't sure if we'd make the con at all. the last month has been non stop, but Its amazing to see it finished, and this challenge almost complete.
We still hope to make the helmet, and there are some minor changes we want to make. (mostly how it's worn.)

Lillykitten entered the cosplay comp on the Sunday, one of the few chances I had away from my table for more than a few minuets. So many amazing cosplays! (Its been years since I'd gotten the chance to watch a cosplay comp.) It was amazing to get the chance to make this, have her enter, and then for Lillykitten to be one of the five winners, I'm just blown away. 

Materials: 
Masters before casting: Moster clay, washers, straws, styrene, Silicone, resin, foam, Tee nuts.
Finished armour: resin, araldite, vynal, leather, heavy duty cam buckles, side release buckles, velcro, Enamel Paint (custom mix for the final green), acrylic paint, primmer, foam, fabric, webbing.

oh thats a shame! Sasha will still be at Choaz, Armagedon, and Supanova (all Melbourne)! after that the suit will be retired for awhile, and maybe a new cosplay will be ready.
