  • Captain Planet: That's SushiKai's wife. I don't think she has an account here. I linked to the pictures of her in SushiKai's gallery, but I didn't know about EBK's photos. Good find.

    I recently did a bit of a life-size conversion for a Team Fortress 2 photoshoot.

  • [QUOTE=Entice;3209726]Out of curiosity, if one had a Space Marine costume, what kind of conventions would you take it to? All the conventions in the white dwarf magazine are just big tournaments...[/QUOTE]

    Games day, London expo, anything involving sci-fi or any con which involves everything.

  • Thanks for the responses, I actually found a local video game expo that is coming back and adding in a costume contest, so I'll be taking it there :D

  • Sorry, one more question. I wanted to have a voice changer box inside my helmet (you know, to sound like a space marine and not just some guy in a costume :P ), and I thought of Darth Vader. However, all I could really find was this: [url]http://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-Darth-Vader-Voice-Changer/dp/B000231FSQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8[/url]

    Would there be some type of small box inside that I could rip out and put in my helmet, or would I just be better off finding something else?

    Any suggestions would be great!

  • Anyone see this guys Tau?

    just my $0.02

  • fightstar: I had commented one one of his pictures, but forgot to add it to the list. It is there now.

  • Crazy. Did that guy actually walk around mostly blind and on his tip toes for most of that convention? Props for dedication, if so.

    Also, SvK, did my Herald of Chaos costume get overlooked for the OP or am I just missing some essential criteria for consideration?

  • I will eventually get around to uploaded my Praetorian Sergeant. Photographer is taking ages getting my pics sorted :/

    The only essential criterion is that I know about your costume, so I've added you to the list. Your chainswords are big and scary! What is written on the banner?

  • [QUOTE=SvK;3254873]What is written on the banner?[/QUOTE]

    A slightly modified, horribly bastardized, latinized version of "Oh Come All Ye Faithful."

  • Thanks so much for including my harlequins inn your list.
    my other dream is to do freebooter orks some day

  • Yeah, the Tau Fire Warrior was at London expo, it was really impressive, and kudos to him for figuring out how to walk in high heels... without heels XD

    As for my Dire Avenger Exarch, any ideas for the undersuit and how to attach the armour plates to it? Obviously it needs to be skintight, as I don't want the armour plates shifting. They need to look like an interlocking suit of aspect armour, not armour hanging off of the undersuit ^^;

    Would like to ask for mine to be added to the list please :)

    This is where it all started:

    This is an awesome pattern! Unfortunately it doesn't come with any folding instructions. Any chance someone know where to get the instructions?

    You're better off with something like this:

    Some other stuff at that site may be of interest to you too.

  • For some reason I'm unable to edit my post that lists all the costumes, but that Sister of Battle looks great. Good job, all of you.
