After enviously watching my boyfriend hulk around DragonCon for the last 4 years in a completely badass GB uniform I decided it was high time that I build one of my own. As a fellow red-head I've always had a certain affinity with Janine Melnitz. I settled on recreating the RGB Fright Features Janine about six months ago and with only 3 weeks left until DragonCon, I've finally set to serious work piecing this uniform together...
The pink flight suit was by far the most difficult thing to procure. I ended up locating this one after searching "coveralls" rather than flight suit on ebay. It shipped in from the U.K. and fit, surprisingly, like a glove! The belt was found on Amazon after Gareee pointed my bf in the right direction. Thanks Gareee!!!. The patches are courtesy of Katarra.
The glasses were originally white and black reading glasses which I painted with neon green acrylic. I fully intend on putting another coat and then following that with a clear sealing coat of spray paint to get them to pop a little more.
The earrings were a bit of a challenge, but very rewarding. I began with a couple plastic tear-drop shaped chandelier decoration pieces and a few round decorative plastic adornments which I found at Micheals and painted Tropical Blue then assembled onto a fish-hook earring back.
This is the inside portion of the yellow ghost catcher which is only now half painted. The rake is a plastic kids toy and the extension piece attached is an original part from the Nerf GB Gun, which you will see more of below.
This is my super disgusting kitchen table, but notice the opened nerf gun which ultimately will close back shut over the rake and eventually have a few LED lights (hopefully).
And that's my cat, Gypsy and myself getting super excited the day that the cover-alls arrived!
Boots are on the way. I picked up some child size hockey elbow pads sprayed them a primer gray, and they are drying as I type this! See ya'll at DragonCon!
