13thgear replied to your post: This is just me bitching about work to try and...

Can you make yourself a flow chart thing that walks you through each step for the different processes? Or carry around a note book so you can document how to do a process such that you can look back on it later. Not only will they be a reference for later but writing down each step should help you remember them

The notebook idea is exactly what I started today! I had some random scraps of paper stuffed in my pocket with notes on the rules, and I’ve consolidated most of it into the notebook. I should probably have tried to organize the notebook rather than just writing them in random order (easier to find later) but for now I have a reference. It’s really helped me.

The Fenris belt is nuts. I'm really interested to see how it turns out. I didn't think to have it curve, that would probably solve the gaping I get at the small of my back

Oh yeah, a belt that wide absolutely has to curve -- because otherwise it makes a big ol’ tube, and human bodies aren’t shaped like tubes.

We did a couple iterations of mock-up patterns out of corrugated cardboard padding, doing periodic fit-tests on my apprentice’s wife. (She and I are about the same size, and we’re both doing a Fenris cosplay. 🤣) Usually I do my mock-up patterns out of thin craft foam, but in this case I wanted it to mimic the rigidity of leather so that we were forced to address any fit issues in the patterning stage. So with the lower edge of the belt sitting on her hips, I went around and marked where it was gaping too much around her waist, and then cut long, narrow V’s out of the pattern to bring the top edge in.

You’ll notice I didn’t bother to curve the narrow end of the belt -- that’s because a 2″ wide band is narrow enough that I can stretch/curve it manually when it’s wet. The wider part is 5.5″ across though, which is too wide to change shape much.

My main question is how we’re going to do the buckle -- ideally I’d like it to be 1.75″ wide, but your choices are slim for buckles that big, and getting the right shape is more important than getting the exact right size. I’m wondering if I could make it myself, because I do have access to a metal shop, if not the skills to use it.

We’re also having a great deal of debate over what color it’s supposed to be, since it looks different in every screencap. My feeling is that Fenris is supposed to give the impression of being in all black, but from a technical standpoint, they had to drop the brightness just a smidgen in order for the details/textures on the costume to be visible. (Otherwise he’s just a blob of uniform black.) So, strictly speaking, it’s a warm-toned dark grey:

I’m going with matte black, because black is easiest to dye; but in other pictures it looks dark brown, and that’s what my apprentice is wanting to do for theirs.
