Swany Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) 3. Props Rules All weapons and props must be checked at the Cosplay desk on first arrival and approved by staff before allowed into the convention. Your prop may not be allowed to enter the Convention for one or more of the following reasons: • Too large/unwieldy • Blocks corridors/doorways or is likely to hit or inconvenience others • Too heavy - If it's heavy, it can hurt, especially if dropped • Too hard - No props made of hard wood, or any sort of metal • Too sharp or spiky - No sharp bits or edges, make sure they're sanded/rounded/padded/covered or otherwise protected adequately • Too realistic - No realistic replica weaponry without obvious 'Blaze' (brightly coloured) tips and the weapon itself being out of use, of course. • No weapons that can fire any sort of projectile, even foam darts or water, unless it can be shown to be empty and/or that only some parts have been used for the prop. • No actions which may lead event staff, attendees or members of the general public to believe you are in possession of a real live weapon, even at a distance. In these cases it is not only up to our (Staff) discretion; we do also have Venue Security in place who will have to approve it. • No pyrotechnics, explosives (including cap-guns) or incendiary items • Actual weapons (including airguns, deactivated guns, blunted/sharp knives or swords, live bows or slingshots) are expressly prohibited In all cases, the weapon or prop must be no longer than 1.6 m (5.2ft). Any items longer this may be used in the Masquerade only and must be handed in to Registrations & Help Desk for safekeeping until then. If they are not handed in prior to the Masquerade they will not be permitted in the event itself Please know that these rules are here to assure we have a safe Conventions for both Staff and Attendees. If you have been asked to put your prop away please be so kind and do so or in an extreme case you might risk being escorted from the Convention. A general safe rule is; ‘If you were to be hit with it repeatedly, would it break before you do?’ - If your answer is ‘no’ here then it means that someone could get hurt were this to happen. In which case we would recommend you leave it at home just so you don’t get disappointed once at the Convention. If you are in doubt whether or not you would be allowed to bring your prop please send photos and a description of the prop to cosplay@animeleague.com I'm going by these rules. Meaning hopefully my scissor will be allowed. It's EVA foam over a 6mm thick piece of plywood. thin enough to the point it bends, sealed with plastdip to make it rubbery.

Swany Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Oh, so possible change to my cosplays this year. Will still be doing PH, but might put aside the Ryuko cosplay in favour of another. However I'm keeping it secret so I don't disappoint myself if I screw it up, and I hate telling people "I'm doing a thing! No sorry I'm not doing the thing." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadelouised Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Just thought I'd share a few pics of how my Tardis costume is going! Just beginning really but I've got the basis of my dress sorted. Need to add sound modules, petticoats and lots of other things but I love it so far! Also I won't be wearing my alice in wonderland pyjamas underneath.......... Also excuse my proper dirty mirror I'm such a slob blame my hairspray. Started making my bag too... no prizes for guessing who it is..... Next job is to try and make the head actually resemble him. Wish me luck! Then I just need to source a nice blue wig & make some tardis head gear and I'm almost there! I'm absolutely loving this making stuff though..... my life will be empty when I'm done! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swany Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Oh gosh that dress is so pretty and I want one. Also coscraft are good for wigs. I buy all mine from there. They're such good quality, easy to untangle with wig spray, and actually a decent size cause I find that wigs off ebay are always tiny and don't fit the head right. I'm about to spoil the surprise. I'm cosplaying as Lady Loki. (highlight to read) So far it's been a weird cosplay to put together. I was gonna make my leggings but instead just bought them out of Primark. Eh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockingFairy Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm thinking of Black Cat for one day and I want to try make Hero Suit Tiger from Tiger and Bunny (The Mecha suit not the spandexthing) Extremely late to the party but OMG I swear I would die of happiness if you did the hero suit! The partner in crime and I are planning on doing the hero suits. Also yay good to find another person who even knows what Tiger and Bunny is <3 I actually may have lucked out,I may be able to pull nearly a full group minus Fire Emblem in he hero suits.If not i can hopefully get me my bunny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
