It use to be that I would get together with my pals and down pizzas' and sodas while we played our D&D sessions. Now the group is split up into two groups and I am with a new batch of pals. The venue has changed from pizza joint to Gamer Bar where if things start to become to outlandish I can order a beer or two and keep up with the crazy things my friends think of doing.

me screaming BUY MY BOOK at every passerby in the hallways.

If you do that around the time of the panel or at a booth, for however many books you can hold in your hands, I will hand you cash right then and there. I'll even film it to quiet naysayers.

I have never been so frustrated with a project like I have been with this. But it has been worth the work and I am really really happy with this.

I am in favor of the idea. I just like to know if we'd also be playing some card games like we did last year while we are waiting for more people to show up?

Channel A was really fun before and after some of us acquired "spirits" power-ups.

Wanted to show the work I've gotten done after taking a break from foam cutting and assembly. If you have a costume you want to show off do it here, or talk about costumes ideas you want to do. Enjoy, peace out.

-> To note, underneath the foam foot is the number of inches that it is long.

-> The thing that gave me the greatest headache until I start working on attaching all these parts together.

After 1-1/2  months of work, I've assembled 5 of the 9 parts. Also managed to cut and burn myself while building these parts. The only tip I can think of at this moment for anyone wanting to undertake this kind of costume making project is this; Stock up on hot glue sticks, you'll be going through a lot of them.

I've tried to post up pictures to show my progress, but the images are apparently to large for the forum.

The only time I would want to swing it at anyone is they and I are in armored foam suit like this costume will be. Most of the conventions I've been to have strict rules of carrying weapons around and what to do and not do with them.

Really the only time I'd ever point something at someone would be if I make the Megaman X or Zero blast.

That does help quite a lot. I need to make the sword that goes with the character and I was going to start looking up larp methods for weapon making, for a cool look and for use if needed.

I am making a Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine cosplay. Specifically the Emperor's Champion of the Black Templars. I found myself being linked to a forum on "Obscurus_Crusade" where a gentleman in Sweden, I think; it's hard to tell, who had a semi-tutorial on how to build Marine armor.

After a long time of mulling over several choices for color schemes I decide to make my costume out of the first Marine model I ever bought.

Does anyone have any experience making costume and cosplaying that can help a fairly new cosplayer and costume maker?

I'm working on a costume currently made out of EVA foam, the kind of stuff that is used in foam mats for standing on, and I'm getting to the point where I have to start gluing and painting it. Has anyone done something like this before and if so do you have any tips that might help?
