mr Sparrow i think you may have placed very highly if you had entered , especially with the walk and the voice , if you get a chance throw up a pic of You with me in my Dengar costume

hahaha cheers mate!!  i think this is the image!!! was hard the next day when i wasnt in character hahaha

[Brian Cairns]

I did consider entering, but i'm not sure how to go about providing a picture for a unique charater, since my zombie isn't based on any actul charater. Plus i always thought the idea was to do a stint when on stage, though i did notice most only did a stance which i could have done easy, ah well maybe next year.

I noticed people just doing stances aswell, i think you can do a stint if you want pal, even just a picture of your costume or a drawing of it would pass as a reference pic :)

[Cocomando]

that is true , i'v entered 2 origional costumes in the past , general idea on paper what you wanted the costume to look like

[Brian Cairns]

ok, maybe will see how i get on next year. Would be cool if i could get someone dressed as a charater from Walking Dead or something to make it a bit more intresting

I had fun at Collectormania this was my second year attending, first time cosplaying. Didn't expect to even place in the cosplay contest xD came third though. Really wish I could have went on the Saturday from the looks of all the costumes. xD

Did anyone notice an exceptionally good Amy Pond cosplayer?

I was crewing at the photoshoot area on the Saturday and during Caitlin Blackwood's photo shoot I had to look twice as I thought Karen Gillan had walked in lol

[Brian Cairns]

There's a few photos of a Amy Pond cosplayer in the offical showmasters page on Facebook.

Hi folks - first time poster, third time attending CMG.   I had to sign up just to comment on the cosplay.

StockingFairy - I *LOVED* your Lulu costume, you did a fantastic job!  Don't know if you'll remember but I nabbed you for a pic on Saturday morning, you said I was the first person to do so?  I find it difficult to approach people so I think I only managed to squeak out "Can I take your picture?!" like an excited fangirl, sorry.

Brian - your zombie make up was amazing!  Thanks (to you and Hulk) for patiently waiting on me taking your picture.

Captain Sparrow - my jaw dropped to the ground when I saw you walk by, but you were too quick!  By the time my wits were gathered you were offski.  Had hoped to catch you at the masquerade... ah well, maybe next time.

I saw so many people with brilliant costumes - just was too shy to ask people to stop.  I just hope next year I pluck up the courage to talk to more of you.

[StockingFairy]

Yeah i remember you ^-^Not many people actually approached me for pictures so i remember the few who did ^-^ I'm so glad you did though i thought no one knew the character so i felt a wee bit odd XD

[Brian Cairns]

Hi MissElphie, welcome to the forums hope to hear more from you.

I think i remeber who you are, your photo didn't work out at first if your who i think you are. I'd love to see any photos you have of the event.

I'm the same btw, i did manage to speak with a few more folks than last year though i would love to chat in person and get to know you guys better.

[Captain_Sparrow]

Hi Miss Elphie :) thanks for the compliment! I was walking about trying to cool down haha couldn't believe how hot it was!! I had signed up to the masquerade but the way the timing went I couldn't make it will defo be enrering next year! Its amazing how friendly everyone was!!

[Padawan_Ra'Zen]

Looking forward to next year already!! Although I may not have my Jedi with me, as I've got an Asuma Sarutobi costume underway, and am seriously toying with the idea of a Leatherface costume, along with working on an original comic book, and may cosplay the lead character hehe!

[Brian Cairns]

Defo would love to see Leatherface, i think Glasgow has a large fanbase for horror related stuff so it's always good to see fans into more than just the standard comic book/ sci-fi related things.

I would love to know who the guy that cosplayed Chatterbox on the Sunday was, i think it's the same person who did Pinhead the year before!

[Padawan_Ra'Zen]

Hehe awesome!! :) I'm planning on original 70's leatherface, but not sure whether to go for the suit or the apron with the shirt and tie?!?!?!

[Brian Cairns]

I'd go with the apron, that just has that extra detail that gives the charater the full gore effect!

[Padawan_Ra'Zen]

I'm gonna 100% agree with ya on that one man!! I prefer that mask anyway, rather than the pretty woman one while he's in the suit hehe

[Brian Cairns]

Yeah, i've always seen the full fleshy mask and bloody apron as THE look for Leatherface, it just installs that extra level of dread that the suit version never quite has!
