@xSmallBombsx - Eeeee, the Prisoner Usagi dress is so gorgeous! Even if it creeps me out that Diamond dressed her up in it.
@lychee-twist - Your Crisis compact looks amazing~! I haven't been brave enough to try resin yet, but I'm thinking about it.... Make sure to post up pics of the second try, I bet it'll look fantastic.
@KinkyFriedChicken - Yay, Helios is back in the mix! He's awesome.
As for my progress, I finished fitting and hemming Mistress 9's top, and will be attaching the last of the beads tonight. I counted, and there's over 340 on the whole outfit. Then it's time to start on the skirt... egads... I despise cutting and pinning, even more so for a giant piece of clothing. And I'll be double lining it for safety (I'm doing her white manga skirt), so that means twice the pinning and cutting! Prop-wise, I decided to go with a SIC of my own - after all, I'm doing the manga version, in which there are no heart crystals and she never steals the Grail. Picked up a Swarovski crystal (like the Bell shapes on the site lychee-twist linked) for under $20. It's so shiny! Must try not to eat it and feed on it's delicious, delicious power...
Any scout cosplayers have tips on how to make some good rolls for the gloves? I really need to remake my Saturn gloves (they look so hideous), but after three failed attempts at stuffing the rolls, I'm thinking it's time to look for a new method. I think I read about a guy who used some sort of tubing that he slid into the fabric (He had fantastic legs for Sailor Mars, btw).
Oh, and while we're cooing over reference pics, I made an online SM gallery many moons ago:
