Soundwave Hoodie (WIP sorta)

This is a Hoodie me and my better half have been working on, Just to note Soundwaves chest piece is clear plastic and thats another shirt she made underneath(to represent frenzy), ill post more images with a decepticon logo when I can be bothered to find it,
I'm pretty happy with but I think I'll add another layer of gold fabric paint around the plastic "screen" and make some more Tape deck shirts (i.e. purple one Ratbat and black for Ravage) I've got a red one for Rumble.

Oh and there is a decepticon logo at the back that kinda wavey(get it sound-wave) but I forgot to get photos of it, but ill post soon.

..oh and I'd like feedback on anyway to improve the look.

that looks awesome man
love the transparent idea for the tape deck with different tshits

how did you add the clear bit in?

The plastic was from a clear handbag bought from an OpShop, My girlfriend sewed it on but the stitching is almost invisable thanks to the gold fabric paint.

Also on the picture the play buttons seem a little too far away but in person it seems alright.

yeah i would have though to put it onto the pocket itslef

did you use some form of texta/paint to get the button on, or is it stiched in too?

thats a great idea, you could mismatch using the different colours of the cassettes dpending on your mood or colour you want to wear, i like it !

That's neat; btw there's a DIY Transformers fashion thread here :)

hey - that's a neat idea! :D
I'd buy it in a shop!

:) thanks!

freaking awesome your missus is!!!!!
could i have 1 too :D

my expectations of this were lame but i am shocked it looks awesome.

but the buttons need a bit more detail as you cant really tell what they are

Very Creative! I like it!:):)

Iz nice

wear it to the meet up

Truly awesome idea dude....

However, the buttons are too low in relation to the size and position of the tape deck window. The buttons also draw attention to your crotch IMO... :eek:
Also, the buttons are drawn upside down and bigger play button should be on the top with the two smaller record and stop buttons should be on the bottom....
Attachment 850

but meh, tremendous effort to get thus far. Your missus sounds really wonderful....

One additional comment would be to sew on coloured parts for the forearm section just like the G1 version but then that 'may' look a bit childish...i dont know.
I'm not sure if you are trying to achieve accuracy or just an interpretation that looks cool?

perhaps you can make a mark 2 version and then sell off the one you dont like? (to me) hehehe

Make another one with a black hoodie - Soundblaster! :D

As for realisim vs cool...im leaning towards cool but that being said we did make a felt laserbeak to sit on the shoulder, I'll post more pics today when I have the camrea on me.
