Kerry Endacotte's replica costumes

by Kerry Endacotte.

The main set of photos come from Plymouth UK's ArmadaCon, a multimedia convention which is 15 years old this year (2003).These outfits are predominantly season two as they are a greater challenge to a costume maker. The Rust costume (right) was made to measure. The rust costume on the girl without glasses was made as an extra for season two The Reconnaissance costume was made to fit me. The security the girl had meant to alter hers and never did. I made the basic item which you see here. The Season One Commander's uniform was the first of this new batch I made in 1998. I first attempted to make such uniforms in the late 1980s and early 1990s and I cannot say I was too happy with the result.

The year previously we did a group entry in the Masquerade with spacesuit (minus helmet) and Journey to Where costume (left).

The spacesuit was made in 1996/1997? I am considering making a new one. The back and front packs need repair. The spacesuit collar is made with embroidery hoops, aluminium tape, and plasticard plastic covered wire stitched into the cloth to form bellows.

My wife has made a copy of Maya's dress from The Metamorph. She dyed some feather bowers to get the grey shade needed for the dress, destroying two hairdryers in the process, to get the fullness she needed.

I have more recently made a copy of Lee Russell's outfit from Matter of Life and Death. These are my attempt at two embroidered patches needed for the Lee Russell jumpsuit
