TFD77 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Sorta off topic, although she has said she'd wear it next year - anyone able to point me in the right direction of someone/somewhere I could get a hold of a pink power ranger costume for my wee girl?  We went to the Power Rangers Megaforce/20th Anniversary bit on the Sunday before we came in to Collectormania, and when she saw all the folks dressed up (especially the girl dressed as a minion!) she was desperate to come as the Pink Ranger.  Lord knows why the toy company only do the Red Ranger outfit, they're totally missing a trick there.  Cheers  http://www.amazon.co...r ranger outfit  Enty, you are a LEGEND! Still need a decent mask, but fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverGeek Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 @Alliecat, welcome along to the forums. So Borg, love the choice though it will require quite a bit of work it shouldn't cost too much as mostly it's made from bits and pieces. I've found a number of different links to try give you a good idea how to go about making the costume, feel free to pick and choose the elements you feel will work best for what you have in mind. Â the following is from a star trek forum: "i started with hockey equipment as the base for the torso, attached peices of pond liner (makes great flexible armour pecies, etc.), bolted on additional plastic peices stolen from hockey pants, used foam tubing and automotive wire, spark pulg wire holders for the Borg's wiring. A section of a fishing rod case was the base for the Borg arm, a toy robot "grabber" was dismantled and rebuilt into the arm to create a handle to open and close the "grabber". Some old computer parts, coloured wire, anything that looks mechanical and some led lights completes the arm. I used a kid's spy toy for the head peice. Holds to your head with a functional telescoping arm that drops a magnifying glass in front of your eye, I added some kalaidascope style material to make it holographic like. On the other side it come with a spring loaded arm that drops and lights up a red led lite, pretty cool! Paint everything black except for the accents wires, etc. Add leds powered by battery packs, face paint, white latex glove and you are good to go! Oh and it helps to be shaved or use a bald cap!!!"

Hi when I was putting together my Leia costume I found ebay was a treat for getting accessiories and little hard to find items, however your costume will be more complex but will be awesome when complete, if your starting now you will have a whole year to work on it, look forward to seeing it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFD77 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 So, today is a book day event at my wee girls school - they were supposed to take in their favourite book & dress as a character from it.  She's actually ended up going in a Cleopatra costume we found in a shop, even though her book of choice is "What the Ladybird Heard"!  Really wish I had some costume building skills - there should be courses or workshops in this stuff!!  (don't start me again on the pink ranger thing - I seriously grudge paying £35 for such a simple & cheap looking costume!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carnosoul Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 i would certanily be up for a team cosplay,iam really sorry about your nephew i am really shy too especially around big crowds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverGeek Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I was certainly looking forward to the Walking Dead cosplays idea, though it didn't go great as i had hoped so a team up would require some commitment from everyone to meet up and attend for the majority of the day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Scapegoat Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I might have my Rick Grimes finished by next year's CM:G ( And if I don't, I'll only have a bloody week to finish it for the bigger deadline! So I hope it IS done for Collectormania! ) So if anyone's planning on zombieing up, so much the better! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverGeek Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 The temptation to be a zombie is always great, though i really do wanna go with other ideas. There's bound to be a few more zombies lurking around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnycure Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I have been researching my Claire Redfield costume idea and what im looking for is really hard to find or if I do find it, its mega expensive, so was looking for suggestions from you guys on here for a good costume idea, although im more than happy to go with the zombie ideas that's floating around on here x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Scapegoat Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'll likely be moving house in February - to that end, I've snagged some decent power tools from Lidl to kit out the shed/workshop. Hopefully next year I'll actually be able to do what I make plans to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
