More sci-fi cosplay badness from prop-maker, costumer, and MAKE pal Shawn Thorsson.

Our pal Bonnie Burton has an interview with crafter and Star Wars superfan, Jennifer Landa, over on StarWars.com about her rad Death Star dress she made and wore to Comi-Con. There were times when […]

You can see the final assembly in the video above. There’s also a video of the making of the helmet. Great […]
