I've been working hard on my Ranmaru sword today and I thought I'd show you all the progress I've made. I'm quite proud of it (never made anything this big before).
It's huge, I know. I looked at the SW2 databook scans and the scale for his 3rd weapon was just over 200cm. So...

Err...*lacks knowledge of posting images*...It's aking for a URL - do I have to post in elsewhere first??? Can't I upload it from my computer???

You do have to upload them somewhere else first.

Photobucket or sites like Flickr are free image sharing sites but as always, be aware that even password locked albums can become spread all over the net (though it's not likely).

So don't post anything there (or here for that matter) you don't mind possibly getting spread around. For photos you're going to share anyways though, they work great.

That looks amazing! I can really see the shape, but I worry it's too big for you!

There's always a difficult choice in choosing what is correct to the game measurements and what is correct to YOUR measurements. Unfortunately I don't think we have Ranmaru's height to be able to adjust it to your measurements so the data book is best we have.

Good find! It's always hard to decide if you want to make them to scale as they are...or to scale for your body. Since I'm only 5'7" I'd shrink it down a little to keep from killing myself. @_@

Then again, XiaoQiaoRocks has already made hers so for this I guess it's a moot point.

Loving the progress XiaoQiaoRocks, I can't wait to see the finished sword.
I adore big weapons but I won't be starting on mine yet as I have so much to do on the costume first but at least the headdress is almost finished.

Thanks!
Your headress looks so beautiful!!!

As for the size...I don't really care that much if it's too big. I'd rather it was slightly bigger than slightly smaller. You can all decide at the expo if it's too big. :)

Can anyone find pictures that show Magoichi's guns with measurements? I want to know so I can scetch it onto my material before I get started on it. I will post pictures when I start on it.

Avu, I'm pretty sure I have them in the data scans, and you probably should have posted this on the cosplay reference thread. <3

Kuni's has the right idea here, Avuneon. ;)

Please try to keep questions regarding cosplay help in the appropriate topic, here:

(Though it seems Kuni might have ya covered...)

This thread is solely for posting PROGRESS PICTURES of cosplay costumes. Thanks!! Just gotta keep things organized so there's less confusion. ^_^

Great pics, KristySama ^^ Also good luck for those two cosplays ;)

Your Xiao Qiao cosplay is very nice, great job & keep this good work up to finish Sima Yi cosplay. (I know someone who probably would like to see Sima Yi Cosplay complete, isn't it, Manji ^^ )

Boots

Gloves and arm guards (just have to add a red cord to the wrist bands)

I have also made trousers and a top to wear under the armour.

I've seen Lu Bus before but never from DW6 and never of this obvious quality. Most of them are just....sad, but I did have to give the one guy props for making a Lu Bu costume entirely out of colored duct-tape (the only thing that wasn't was the pvc pole used for the halberd, but the blade was duct-tape too!).
