Hey Snowflake, how did you end up doing your Right Shoulder bell? What type of wire did you end up using, and how did you glue it on to the bell?

hey ramz, you've got to excuse me for the late answer! i made the ridges with a Styrene stick (3x3mm section), i found it at a hobby supply store, i guess you could find something similar in the US.
I cut the stick in 6 pieces, then heat it up with a hotgun and bent around an aluminium tube i secured to the table. Then i glued it to the shoulder bell with CA, first glueing the curved part, then using more hotgun to bend the stick on the shoulder bell to make it take the right curve, and then more glueing.

Thanks for the Advice. I'll definitely keep this in mind if I make another set. Your ridges look very clean, smooth and Straight. Saverio, Your GM is looking Outstanding (Minus the small missing details, of course)! Pretty cool Photo shoot too! This one is my Favorite:

Impressive. Most Impressive. Looks really good. I NEED boots like that. My boots are the saddest part of my costume.
