Team Fortress 2 Cosplay

By TinTango. 14/02/10, 03:11 pm

Okay, let's post battle ideas for our Cosplay.

Um... if there is a group of Yu Gi oh cosplayers, we could do battle in a duel. We could be summoned to the deck as dual monsters with attack and defense points, also with equip cards to boost our attack, so we can use our weapons.
But we'd have to liaise with them, it would take a little more organization but probably only be on the Saturday.

Or, battle like in Dungeons and Dragons, using dice to roll. Everytime we made a kill, we would say a taunt or something.
We could get spectators to roll the dice, and win a prize if they win overall.

I like the Second one although the first one sounds interesting

Hmmmmm we still have time to think over it{i still don't have any ideas}

Addit: Skit? awwwww.... I'm a horrible actor{or just have stage fright

Nice reviving skillz bro.

Wat about a roleplaying or skit sort of thing, that might be cool.

Screw your fears and humiliate yourself.

One of my friends suggested we meet at a place at a specific time and have a show down

And since it's been a while lets have a STATUS UPDATE where everyone is at on their costume...

So far all i got the Hat which i have to spray paint a little browner,a Belt, the parts to make the sniper rifle and....um i think that's it, man I'm lazy. Alright NEXT!

By Zephyr. 23/02/10, 12:36 pm

I spray painted the bat but it's my first time spray painting so it's real noob.

Edit:The paint dried and it's not too bad....

By TinTango. 23/02/10, 04:21 pm

Im working nights, so wont make any progress till I get back home next week.

ADDIT: I'll need to spray paint my helmet too, which Ive never done before.

3/3/10: Just bought a blu military jacket, it's navy though... gotta find pants now, and figure out how to make the plastic grenades.

By Plazcheetah. 06/03/10, 03:45 pm

plastic grenades? I'm sure you can get at the 2 dollar shop
Hmmm i can only seem to find Blue polo long sleeves for the sniper and i can't find any brown vests probably not looking hard enough

By Zephyr. 06/03/10, 04:01 pm

I recommend making them with paper mache rather than buying em though.

By Dimey. 07/03/10, 12:04 pm

25 days to go!

And I need help!!!

I'm sitting here hand-sewing my coat and realized many things that I would like help with.

1. Engineer is a Uni student/tutor so he has no time to look for costume. Anyone know where I can find overalls for an engineer and a cheap but decent hard hat

2. My older brother is still set on a red suit, but we settled on getting a grey one then dying it if we have time. I would like your thoughts on this

3.I LOVE your ideas! We must finalize on one by this week or next week so that we are sorted

So guys, lets get things done!

By TinTango. 08/03/10, 09:59 am

1.Hmmmm.... I think I saw some hardhats at bunnings warehouse, and some overalls too, but that was in the Auckland store. You might want to give your local branch a call to see if they stock it, though I dont know how much it will cost.

2. I'm having the same trouble with finding blue cargo trousers, so Im considering buying khaki ones and dying them. I haven't dyed anything before, but Im still looking for blue ones, and if I do dye I'll show you the thread I used. Might want to post something in the Costume Help and Critique Thread for some advice.

3.Yeah, let's keep brainstorming!

By the way, are you and your brother still doing all 3 days?

By Dimey. 08/03/10, 10:11 am

Yeah we are going to present all 3 days

Edit: Have some bad news guys...
Our Engineer pulled out. He is one of those guys who will cosplay only if he doesn't have to do or pay for anything...and of course, I was epected to pay for it and I wont so he said don't worry about it.
Fortunately, I may have a replacement, but I'm still not happy.

Secondly, my older brother came close to pulling the plug on him being spy, but there might still be a chance he can do it without costing him a cent, fingers crossed!

Edit Edit: Got him a suit, will be making patches this weekend.

Also, is anyone else here starting to see every little mistake in their props and/or costume? Team Fortress 2 Cosplay - Page 7 Icon_pale

By Plazcheetah. 12/03/10, 04:03 pm

You start to see every little mistake when you want it to look totally perfect
i'm sure people want mind/notice the little stuff

Addit:i might be going all 3 days but yeah same as Zepyhr on friday i'll be just be shopping,browsing and hanging with mates

By Zephyr. 13/03/10, 11:37 am

By Plazcheetah. 18/03/10, 08:02 am

Alright I've gotten every thing sorted for my sniper cosplay, except the Vest anyone know where i can get something like his vest? { or his vest}

Addit: nvm got it sorted
Anyone else hyped for armageddon?

By Dimey. 25/03/10, 11:40 am

Armageddon is a week away!

Who here is fully ready?!

I have my coat DONE

Medi-pack almost done and painting an extra medic-weapon as we speak

I want updates people and plans for the big day(s) Razz

By Plazcheetah. 25/03/10, 01:46 pm

I got my Sniper rifle ready, but i still have to paint the scope and attach it which is proving to be annoying Team Fortress 2 Cosplay - Page 7 402399

And I'm getting a few other things i need on Saturday and i should be finished

Are we still doing the battle BTW?

By Dimey. 25/03/10, 01:54 pm

That would be awesome if we could do the battle still. I think we should figure out what we'll do haha. Also, are we meeting up anywhere to meet each other etc? lol

By Zephyr. 28/03/10, 02:20 pm

oh actually I might cosplay as Adult Reborn from Katekyo Hitman Reborn on Friday.

By Plazcheetah. 28/03/10, 02:48 pm

@Dimey
i think at the stands or maybe the entrance,anybody got a better idea?
i'm still pretty lost for the battle maybe we can do something turn based with hit points? or maybe we can just go out all crazy and film it then add effects later? choices,choices

By Willuknight. 29/03/10, 02:15 am

I'l come as a spy.

By Plazcheetah. 29/03/10, 08:32 am

By Dimey. 31/03/10, 12:11 pm

*Professor Farnsworth* Great news everybody!

My epic brother, the Red Spy, happened to find us a new Engineer!
(Turns out, a friend of his room mate's staying with them for Armageddon was planning to come solo as the red Engineer!)

Also, I think we should meet outside somewhere and say hello. Also, for those coming on the friday, there will be no cosplaying for my brothers and I (helping out mum) so if you guys want to come say hi to my brothers and I where we're working then you are more than welcome ^_^
