Of course, I have a group of people I'm cosplaying with, including a Da Qiao, so there. Is anybody else planning on doing some KOEI cosplay this year, or has already done it?

But it sure is fun designing them. Now, although I have never done any DW stuff, we did do these two costumes which took 5 weeks to make. These have never been worn to animethon, but where made for halloween.....we get bugged every year to wear them, but it takes about 5 hours to get me ready. I don't have that kind of patience LOL A better picture of the dress. How long did your costume take? What was the most challenging piece to make?

We must talk about the SOSZ incident. Also, I might be at Otakon also!

I wonder how you made them and awesome you're with Auron as well, it's really perfect and I can't wait to see more!

I'm still working on the costume. So far, I've got all the fabric and some paper mache for the armor. I tried making the tonfas out of Crayola Model Magic, but they didn't turn out so good (they were sturdy but sloppy). The hardest part is probably the layers - Sun Ce has more layers than your average Dynasty Warriors character, plus you can't really tell what's a layer and what's one piece. Real wood's out of the question. So what should I make the tonfas out of?

I already thought of the cardboard tubes, but I never thought of coating them with paper mache. I just thought it up real quick. You may need to cut a slit down one of them, then coat the inside of the non slit one in glue. You could repeat this process, and have other ones stuffed inside for thickness.

Or you could simply buy a pair of them in those stores that sell martial art weapons...I have seen them sold, but you would expect them to be made out of wood, of smaller size, thinner and shorter than the ones Sun Ce used - they are about a little bit over a forearm's length and an inch in diameter(so, really thin, like a steel bar), but the good thing is, it spares your time from having to make your own.

Okay...either the character is Guan Yu or a rip-off of Guan Yu...but he resembles him too much to Not be Guan Yu!

Yeah. I already own a pair of wooden tonfas, but they don't look like Sun Ce's. They can't be used in cosplay. Some cons even frown on anything remotely sharp, whether it could realistically be used as a weapon or not.

The Lady of the Date Clan Posts: 36 Group: Members Member #2,626 Joined: July 15, 2006	I working on a Date Masamune, it is very hard. I thought the tiger outfit would be easy but I can't find white tiger fabric. I do however have the pistols for the new SW2 outfit.. but that costume looks even harder! I guess just look for the half-ass done eyepatch girl costume at Otakon 07. :wacko:

Some cons even frown on anything remotely sharp, whether it could realistically be used as a weapon or not. But a pair of wooden tonfas can hardly be considered as 'sharp'...they could hardly appear as threatening unless the holder knows how to use it. But rules are meant to be followed for a reason, and in this case, for security issues. Oh well...

Tiger General Posts: 413 Group: Members Member #150 Joined: November 4, 2005	Thanks Insp and Bofubutt. Cardboard tubes and paper mache are a great idea for the tonfas. I used a two litre pop bottle and paper mache for Aurons jug. I've had the most luck using paper and white glue, but it's not very smooth. I suppose if you soaked the paper for a long time and tore it very fine.

In limbo Posts: 803 Group: Members Member #2,768 Joined: July 28, 2006	Haha, not a lot. Most of my cosplays have been very simple. I did cosplay Sun Ce in the past, and people recognized it, but the costume was very crude and made for under $20. My other cosplays all involve normal clothing.

It's neater than the picture shows - some plumber's putty. All in all, the whole set cost me less than $12 to make, but now I have to paint and seal, which might set me back another $10.
