Moist von Lipwig, Post-Master of Ankh-Morpork (2013)
I made this costume for my friend Mark, another Discworld fan. The character wears a gold suit, so the first thing we did was hit the thrift store to find a jacket and slacks to paint gold. We used about 6 cans of Simply Spray fabric paint for the jacket alone!
The hat started life as a policeman's costume hat, painted gold. The wings are made of white duck and chicken feathers, painstakingly hand-colored with a gold paint pen. I designed the badge based on images of the Ankh-Morpork crest from the book and from around the web.
The mail bag also features the AM crest, and the Post Office's motto (rendered into Latin): "neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night," with the addendum quoted from the book: " DON'T ARSK US ABOUT: rocks troll's with sticks All sorts of dragons Mrs Cake Huje green things with teeth Any kinds of black dogs with orange eyebrows Rains of spaniel's fog. Mrs Cake"
