Mock up, mock up, mock up. You will need a fitting buddy. And you will want to fit it WITH bones (just slam on some tape for channels and slide them in). Most dress forms tend to be less than useful for checking these, as they are not squishy enough.

Linda Spark's book is more geared towards victorian corsets, but has a lot of good, basic info on materials and finishing. It also talks about mock-ups and fitting - not all of the notes will apply for this period, but it is a good point of reference.

The best material for a corset is a coutil - it is a twill weave with minimal stretch. You can get it in a basic finish, and do it with a fashion fabric, or Farthingales has some absolutely beautiful brocades and other fancies. They are expensive, but you don't need a lot of fabric for a corset.

When it comes to boning, some folks will say zip ties - these are cheaper, but I prefer spiral steel for this period. Spring steel/flat steel is fine for later periods, but 18th tends to have the bones closer together so you want something with a bit more give.

I suggest getting these items Silver Sculpey Get one pack for each bullet splash you want to have.

Then get these. Make sure you have two magnets or each bullet splash.

Then I'd make one claw arm not two as it's a pain to go without two hands. To make the claw I'd grab some foam board.

Get some Super glue or hot glue.

Silver paint that matches the baked shade of the clay.

some blue paint that matches your cop uniform.

Start with the clay, open it and save the wrapper- shape the stuff into dishes with a entry hole or deep point. From the center of each dish make spirals that come out - You could even make the clay into a long snake and coil it around and around to make your dishes. Then make an indent to place one of your magnets flush into the base and make it 10% deeper and wider. Follow the instructions and bake it. Grab super glue and attach one magnet to the dish and the other threw your cop uniform.

The arm is gonna be a bit harder. You want to cut out some shapes from the foam core and then glue it with some superglue or hot glue. I'd start off with cutting two rectangles about as wide as your forearm and about 10 -12 inches longer . the remainder I would cut into long right triangles that are as long as the long piece. This should help make a box to fit your arm in, continue to cut and glue additional pieces to make your hooks. Paint the same color as your putty dishes and you should be done. To help with the details- blend your silver paint into your clothing by matching a blue of the uniform into the splashes and arm the transition into the silver.
