Wait wtf why did you tell her my plan it's WIP and I'm not too good with wood I'm thinking of giving Jayden a call so he could help since he does Graphics so that would help us and he's smarter than both of us... combined!!!!!.

I wanted to post an update on my TF2 costume for the picnic today. After some last minute shopping, I changed my costume and went as the Red Soldier. And... I won "most Badas Cosplay" Award!!!

I'll edit this post to add links to the pics so you can see.

Well I could just ask her at school. Or on msn later tonight.

Cos I will see her on Wednesday for school (She's in my peer support group for the year 9s >_>...yes I am a Peer Supporter)

I'll ask her to bring it. My mum is very organized and agrees that I should try and get the coat done in February. I think if I get the pattern off her this week, and get the material next week, I'll be pretty much good to go and have it done by the end of Feb Team Fortress 2 Cosplay - Page 5 519410

Haha I think I started a trend with that term.
And my little brother evolved from Year 9 to Year 10....still as annoying as one though.

Also I don't think I'll have many problems. I'm one of those "Measure twice, cut once" people.
My friend however is "Take a guess, spend hours fixing the tiny mistake I made" person.

Coat should look good though. The pattern I have is for a very long coat that has the cross-chest thing like the Medic's coat has. It will need modifying though, so that it can be fitted to look more well...feminine haha. I'm going to try and do the Female version of what the medic would look like haha.

My friend got a pattern for this coat for the cosplay she'll be doing. So you can see what I'm working with, and I just need to fix it up to fit my style more.

By Dimey. 31/01/10, 07:53 am

Mmmm, I'm going to be wearing an above-the-knee skirt and have like high boots on haha. And my coat will hopefully flare out more and be fitted to my curves haha.

By Dimey. 31/01/10, 08:41 am

Sorry

...and I was going to update this post by asking if we were all going to bother with character patches for our costumes that each character wears, and that I could make them all if everyone wanted that.

(I assume I am allowed to ask that >_<)

By TinTango. 31/01/10, 09:44 am

Character patches are great! I really struggled with mine last year for my heavy. Forked out something ridiculous to have it machine sewn on by one of those logo places.

BTW has everyone joined/seen the Cosplay.com forums?
In the Forums there is a Team Fortress 2 thread which has links to all the stuff people have used/got help with, from cosplayers around the world.

I recommend reading the thread from the latest one and going backwards, so theres a better chance that the links to images/info are still accessible.

Will edit this with a link, once I've found it.

Thanks, that's really helpful! And patches aren't too hard I guess. Although mine just is a cross...

By TinTango. 31/01/10, 09:57 am

Oh, just found this website for large version of the patches... hopefully they are the right size.

I was thinking of doing an iron-on transfer for my heavy/soldier outfits. What do you guys think?

By Dimey. 31/01/10, 10:00 am

Yeah I was thinking of Iron-on ones.

My brother said something about getting them made but I'm a cheap-a*s

I was basically going to make simple ones, with just a red material then cut out a pattern e.g Cross and sew that on top, then sew it onto the coat.

By Zephyr. 31/01/10, 10:23 am

I bought 4 A2 sheets of carboard today and red earmuffs, now I want yellow ones sad

.

Now that we can't spam teh thread lets go group chatting on msn ^_^.

By Dimey. 31/01/10, 10:25 am

Agreed.

And where did you get earmuffs?My little brother used to have the perfect headpiece for the Scout but he lost it...

By Zephyr. 31/01/10, 10:30 am

Got em at Bunnings but they only have yellow and red (recommend the yellow) for about $9-11 plus they come with goggles and a dustmask.They do have orange ones but they are $26-30.

By Dimey. 31/01/10, 10:34 am

We had yellow round earmuffs that were broken and when you put them on, it was just one yellow earmuff (Like the Scout's) and we attached a mouthpiece to it. It was perfect.

I guess I'll have to go buy a new one.

Erm, would buying a balaclava and cutting it out more work for the spy?

This was something I considered, but decided against (I have a Blu Spy costume). In the end my mask was made out of a form of stretch material that JVCA patterned out into a full facemask, and the finished effect was much better than I could have gotten from a balaclava. I'd suggest asking her about how to do it - I think she is taking commissions for them too.

By Dimey. 31/01/10, 10:48 am

I agree, that does look better than what a balaclava would do.

I think I might give it a shot at making it.

Thanks for the advice Team Fortress 2 Cosplay - Page 5 132820

Oh noes without Spam this thread will Die! Team Fortress 2 Cosplay - Page 5 38261

{i was wondering when a moderator would intervene}

Nah jks any way i made a neat Domination drawing which I'm planning to mount atop of my Head although i can't figure out how I'm gonna do that

ADDIT!@!$!$: Patches? we talking about the emblems they stick on their shoulders? i made one sniper one and wrecked it by trying to cut is out with an craft knife T_T also I'm to cheap to use printer ink so i just draw it Razz

and slap it on with some cello tape

By Dimey. 01/02/10, 11:35 am

I was thinking about getting them made, but I'm not sure how much it would cost

If it were $8 a patch, that might not be too bad.

But I won't be willing to pay for the blue team's ones. Sorry Team Fortress 2 Cosplay - Page 5 88827

By Plazcheetah. 01/02/10, 11:43 am

Nah it's OK, I couldn't bear someone else paying for something for my costume it's all good

BTW: any one know how to make a Bow or know where i could get one?
