Not just the Penguin, but artist Mike Grell turns the umbrella on that filthy bird! Then enjoys a Hostess Pie (Dc Comic ads ofthe 70's)

Re: Thread Necromancy
I am unable to see any pics either. Hmmmmm.Strapped-4-Cache wrote:New member here. My apologies for the thread necromancy if this may have been answered elsewhere, but my search for information didn't return many results. The comments in this thread seemed promising, but I'm unable to see the pics. :/
I've begun to work on a Penguin costume for next year's DragonCon based on Burgess Meredith's character, but am having difficulty in finding good pics of the full outfit. There's all sorts of pictures from mid-waist up, but very few clear shots of anything lower. I already own a morning suit with the traditional hickory-stripe pants, but am unsure if the pants are correct for the the character on screen.
In addition, I need to get to work on the top hat and matching tie need to be sure they get done properly and in time. As much as I'd like to use my black silk top hat, it's not right for the character. Can anyone tell me if using spray dye on a white wool top hat is easier or harder than a satin top hat? I'd prefer the look of the wool, but don't want to make the job any harder than it needs to be. While I'm asking, what material should the bow tie be made from? The pics I've seen don't appear to show a satin tie, but something a bit less "shiny".
The wasistcoat/vest appears to be flocked and go right up to the collar, so that seems to be something that will have to be scratch-built along with the flocked gloves, but the spats, monocle, cigarette holder and umbrella seem to be fairly standard. Then there's the nasal appliance...
If anyone has advice regarding the bits & pieces for the costume I'd appreciate the guidance.
Thanks,
