          The Nagi (one with the green jacket) is my own eye color. I have contacts for Lina and Saber, though the contacts for saber don't really change my eyes much at all :/ They make them a bit more green, but it barely made a difference.

      Thank you! I am making the plain clothes version, Maid Saber, Dark Saber Armor, and possibly Saber Alter & a bathing suit vers sometime this year. So, a lot of Saber for 2010! I don't have plans to make Saberlily yet, but maybe in 2011 or something.

    I saw your photos from AX from a blogger who also liked Saber as much as I do and I am very impressed! You really nailed her down! Your Lina's awesome too!

    On a side note... how did you make/get Excalibur?

      It is made of balsa wood with some wood putty as filler on the handle. Unfortunately, it's also a bit of epoxy since the valet at the hotel broke it when taking it out of the car D:

      Thank you.
      There can not be more shoulder padding because that would limit my ability to move my upper arm. Not everything in a drawing translates to working with real fabric, and due to the way the shoulder pieces are shaped, adding more interfacing would not permit me to raise my arms up.

    I saw you at Anime Expo 2009. Took pics. You were one of the best Sabers I've ever seen. One of my fave characters. Did you dress up as Lina Inverse at AX 09 also? Another of my classic faves. You really got her down.

    Just so you know how good your Saber cosplay was, a pic of you was thrown in some game article when they were talking about the Fate/Unlimited Codes game for PSP on some website. It was kinda random.

      Thank you! Actually the Lina Inverse is from 2008 at Fanime. The following year I debuted my Saber there as well. I only wore Lina that once due to the shoulders being so heavy I had noticeable back pain for a week following. I'm going to wear it again sometime soon, but I'm going to pack Advil!
      It was? Wow, I had no idea it had been circulating! I wish I had seen that. That's really neat!

          Yes, among other costumes of Saber's. I have poll on my page asking people which I should start next, and have the material for Maid Saber.
          Saberlily will require me to learn how to work with fiberglass, which I am, so it will probably be later in the year ^_^

      Thank you! Emma is one of my favorite Gundam girls too. She's really a great character.

    Hello Maridah!
    You are so pretty! And your costumes look of high quality, as the photos.
    You look a lot like the characters.
    See you!
