songofages: Balin Cosplay Refs and Help. It’s Balin’s turn! Sorry it took so long I was working on a fanfic. • Coat. Balin wears a heavily decorated deep red (wine?) coloured coat. The designs are done in pale silver and cover most of the coat. They aren’t on the border down the centre however. Or on the cuffs which are black or dark red and heavily decorated. The coat appears to have a collar that matches the cuffs. • Under Coat. The undercoat shares the same markings as the top coat as well as the same designs on the cuffs. It has wooden toggles and a very simple belt keeps it closed. • Shirt and Pants. Balin wears a long sleeved red shirt underneath the undercoat. It’s tyed with fabric. His pants appear to be a dark red as well. They are tucked into his shoes. • Shoes. His shoes are light brown leather with laces. The top appears to be folded down which means the inside is perhaps a grey colour. His boots turn upward at the end. You may have to make something out of clay to be the pointy bit at the end and find some scrap leather at a fabric store and attach it to the shoes for the folded down look. • Gloves. He wears simple black gloves that can be find anywhere that sells winter clothing. • Wig and Beard. Both may need to be from the same wig. A long wig. His beard curls at either end and his hair is short and swept back. • Weapons. I can’t find a larp version of this weapon so you may have to make it. :/ Next up will be Bombur. Refer to previous refs for details on finding shirts, shoes etc. -- source link
