Ok we need a bit more of a clue here lol.

im keeping a wee loose track on the costs of the new DJ costume . im thinking of going more into mask, costume and prosthestic making / sculpitng for other people, so i want see the rough costings and times etc. ...........well thats the plan :)

I know hw you feel Alliecat. i started doing his myself because a guy wanted $800 for a straight mask. Seems cheap now lol. still , a whole new skill set learned.... even though its taken time.

Done

Can't find it on facey Have you got an address?

Awesome Claymore mate!! Will be awesome locking swords with ye!! Was doing a gig for yorkhill childrens hospital and was kindly given "the heart of davey jones" chest!! Dammit I was wondering where that had hot to lol. Might be cool to do something like that - give a little back. The look on the kids faces must have been cool.

http://www.therpf.co...2406d1391556408 Hows about a wee tentacle animatronic trial. This will be one of the "side" tentacles which will just show a kind of slithering repetative motion. Still aways to go tho'

Another wee update on Davy Jones mask & costume http://www.therpf.com/f24/new-davy-jones-costume-disney-cruise-2014-a-201724/#post3188095

Hi guys, Just checking in, as I've been busy at work. Just updated the progress of the new sculpt at The RPF if you want to have a look. http://www.therpf.com/f24/new-davy-jones-costume-disney-cruise-2014-a-201724/#post3180879 It also shows the wee test rig I'm using to test and set up the animatronics.

Smoke a decision !,???? Damn autocorrect lol

Yep , I'm 52 lol I'll see how the new costume progresses over the next couple of months, and smoke a decision. Might need to meet a couple of you guys before going in, so's I don't go in myself. As I say, I'm a bit unsure ( shy ?!?,) about it all. It all started as a laugh/ bet

Poor lad, to be honest the first time I done cosplay I got nervous, I guess its a form of stage fright, but once you get into the spirit of the event and how cool everyone is it soon passes, I would def be up for a team cosplay :) what does everyone else think? x I have the same worries lol. Building the new costume for Florida in September, which should be complete by August. But wearing it 5000 miles away, on a ship full of strangers, is waaaaay different from strapping it on , in my home town. The only thing is , people wouldn't recognise me in the Mack anyway......... Except those who know I built one last year.

Btw that's me " in costume" in the avatar photo. Just chill in' with a bud in Tortuga :)

Thanks for the I requests guys.... I'm on holiday. In September, sailing in the Caribbean ( Disney cruise) I'd like to attend however........ I've never done anything like that in my life! I'm probably the oldest here (50) .... ( but extremely young looking lol) And I'm a bit shy about it all. I produced the original costume as a challenge. The current work in progress in the same , but both were only for the cruise's pirate night. But we'll see how it goes. Might be fun

Hi Guys, Thanks for the interest. I have holidays booked , but 'll look out the actual days etc, to see if I can make it along ........ might be fun lol !

Trying to enter the above, but the iPad nor my computer will let me. Seems strange

Hi Jack, Believe it or not, I'm afraid I'm not into cosplay much - bit to old etc lol :-( I made the cozzy as a bit of challenge , as we go on the Disney Cruise more or less every year, and bit of a contest developed. I ha to learn to sculpt and mould etc, including the foam claw and leg. The latex face and painting , then the hat were all new skills learned in the last year. The charity thing sounds ok though - don't mind doing my bit! :) I'm hoping the new 2014 costume is better - if I can get the animatronics sorted - but watch this space. still cant get a photo on here though ?

Do the admins need to throw a switch to allow photos? I've also just started working on this years version for the Disney Cruise 2014 if anyone's interested. It's on therpf.com ....same name

How do I attach a photo for this ?

I was gonna show a photo of a costume I created for a pirate cruise night in Florida earlier this year, but can't put a photo on?
