Dang it...New pictures of OST Jack are up from SDCC...And there are a few changes I do NOT like.
OST SPOILERS!
First...The new pistol...Which turns out I do not have. I was hoping it would be a metal style one, but it's not. It's a wood handle, with a metal barrel. Anyone know of any place to find one, or any that look like it? I'd be forever gratefull for ye help, savvy!
Second up, is the new AM belt. The belt is now lacking the nice hole design and stuff, it's just a straight row of holes and not at all as fancy as it was. I won't change mine, I like it to much.
Third would be the fact that they have added another "layer" to the AM buckle. It now fits the belt. It seriously looks like they took one of the good buckles and sodered in one of the small chinese copies of it.
And the most obvious of all changes, would be his pretty blonde highlights. Which oddly enough, are a very close color to my real hair. Sooo....I'll be using my real hair for the "bangs" and I'll find some hair to make into the little twistie danglie thingies, and the few new dreads Jack has.
I'm going to make them removable, because I don't like them. He also has new charms and wraps and stuff...Which I'll add closer to OST. I don't want them right now, and I don't like the look of the curls and feathers and crap at all.

Oh, he also has a shorter sailors needle, and that little X on his face. LOL.

Jack's sail needle isn't as big as it was. (There's a pill for that.)...Now...Here a while back my friend Sparrow Goods sent me a sail needle and it broke during shipping. He sent me a replacement one, and I am ever thankful to him for doing so.
For whatever reason I didn't toss the broken one out...And now that OST pics have come about...I'm thinking the long peice of the broken one will make a great OST needle.
So...Here's my first OST costume peice. :

BTW I found that emu claw necklace I had told you about...I think.... would it go with what you wear for the costume? It's on a black cord and has turquoise stones between the claws. The Claws are about 2 inches long and about half an inch wide at the base.
I got them off some emu feet that had been sent back to the owner after the birds had been processed for the meat...and the oil...she didn't want them so I took them and used the claws to make one of a kind jewelry.
I won't tell you how I got them off the feet.....

Also...I lost a bid on a MR Flintlock by $2 last night.
don't you hate that when you lose some thing by a couple of dollars? I have a pair of riding boots that I am hoping to get as they would be perfect for the Jedi costume I am working on..the first pair I won I had to send them back as the seller didn't know the sole of the boot had a large split in the sole of the shoe...

BTW, can you pm me your address? My camera isn't working right now and I am also going to be getting a new internet service in a few days...so I can't post pics right now...if you can use the necklace for the costume, great if not you have a one of a kind necklace...I don't wear this any more and it's been sitting in my safe keeping box for years. ...the only momentos I have of the emus I had is the egg shells from the babies they hatched and some of thier feathers and LOTS of Pictures.

I didn't see your last post ST, sorry! Thank you so much for the offer! I very much appreciate it! I'll PM you here in just a moment!
I received my Jack Sparrow vest from Mellisa "Rens" this week, she offered it to me, and I can't thank her enough for her it!
The back looks a lot like the OST material....And is also the same pattern as my TDK Joker vest.

Thank you!
I actualy don't have photoshop, I use something that all the tween girls use on facebook to edit their photos. It's called picnik. And aside from it's premium effects, it's absoutly free.
I am quite proud of it, if for anything the wonderful outreach of evryone while putting it together. I've gotten quite a bit of this costume for excellent prices, or even free. Most guys spend $2500 or more on their costumes, and go through several changes and versions.
Like, the vest I got for free, the one I was very very near to buying which looks a considerable ammout like this one is $200.
The skull ring and baldric material I got for free from my friend Shylaah.
The wig I got for $117, but for that specific wig, is usualy around $350.
The sword I got for $40, and is usualy $250+
The belts and buckles came out to be $70, and are $200 otherwise.
Boots were $240, and new and unweathered are $400 or more.
And then on each other item I saved $5-$10 on each one.
I however am not done yet, still have enough to do to keep my busy.
I still need :
To weather EVRYTHING
Get the Kuchi long dangle
pelts
beard braids
stuff to make the end of AWE bandana dangle
and I need to buy materials for my mom to make my baldric. LOL.
So I have plenty to do still. I have not yet begun to fight...To....runaway.
