Congratulations.  For your first attempt I think you have done very well.  Remember, if you want any tips on any future projects you might have in mind, there will be plenty of panels at ConFuzzled 2011 geared towards people who want to build their own fursuits.

I think I might try and catch on one of those, I need to pick up some repair methods and fixes for little things that go wrong.

[Stereo Fox]

thanks,

i think i may attend a couple of the panels, as theres a few areas where i struggled in the making of this.

all i have left to do now is figure out how to attatch the new wig i've bought, the one i originally got doesn't look right so i've got another.

so if theres anyone on here who's after/wants a mid-length dark red wig let me know as i wont be using it.

really like your suit ,well done! wish i had  it in me  to make me own suit!

[Stereo Fox]

thanks.

i was abit daunted at first, as i started with zero knowledge of sewing or fursuit building in general.
i did a fair bit of research (youtube vids/websites/forums) till i was happy enough to make a start.

i've already got plans to improve this one, but i'll leave that till after the con.

[Stereo Fox]

think its time for an update.

feet - finished, stripes painted
hands - finished, pads sewn/glued, stripes painted
tail - finished, needs tip painting black
head - 98.9%, just finishing the last sewing on lower sectins sides.

i've just discovered that hot melt glue sticks fingers together very well.

i've just discovered that hot melt glue sticks fingers together very well.

It also bonds fome to foreheads very well.
watch out for that one.

luckily the only foam in my suit is in the feet, but i did manage to glue my hand to the inside of the head earlier, took best part of 10min to get it unstuck.

i'll get some photos taken and posted up tomorrow when i get back from work.

still a bit unsyre about the hair, but its only held on with 3 stitches so easy to remove if needed.
