So here’s a long list of places I want to go for next con season; Katsucon, Emerald City Comic Con, Awesome Con, All Star Comic Con, Blerd Con, Otakon, Baltimore Comic Con, New York Comic Con, and Boston Comic Con.\u00a0 So some of these I already know I’m going to.\u00a0 Some are cons that I’m heavily leaning towards.\u00a0 And one is just because I want to post a goofy picture.<\/p>\n

And here’s a list of costumes that I need to work on; Update Western Wonder, embellish and repair Yang, rework DARPA Poison Oak, water walking Leonardo Da Vinci from Ever After, Old Man Logan\/Yang mashup (with working claws), All American Boy, John Crichton (Farscape\/Crackers Don’t Matter), and YoRHa No.2 Type B from Nier: Automata (which I’ve never played).\u00a0 No problem, right?<\/p>\n

The repair work for Western Wonder and Yang are pretty straight forward.\u00a0 The cowboy boots are cracked and need to be repainted.\u00a0 This is only noticeable up close.\u00a0 I am thinking of making boot covers instead.\u00a0 Since I need to learn how anyways.\u00a0 If I cannibalize the shirt I have now I think it will provide enough fabric for both boots.\u00a0 The bonus to this is that the boot colors will match the new shirt (I bought 2 of the same shirt when I made the costume).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next step would be making a new shirt for Western Wonder.\u00a0 Again, the defects are really only noticeable up close.\u00a0 Small bits of fraying and fabric glue.\u00a0 A LOT of wrinkling. I am hoping the new fabric will hold up a little better than what I originally used.\u00a0 Sure it held up extremely well, but the new fabric may be more “wrinkle free” than the thin stuff.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Yang repairs will be a little trickier.\u00a0 The gauntlets sustained pretty significant damage for only 2 days wear.\u00a0 Of course, it was 2 days at NYCC.\u00a0 I’m experimenting with sprays to cover the paint for protection but without sacrificing shine. The rattle cans I purchased have been problematic so far, with one being a flat out failure. I want to try one more before looking into purchasing airbrushing equipment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The embellishments that I have in mind for Yang sounds pretty easy.\u00a0 Extra detailing on the vest and some edges around the panels.\u00a0 However, the more I think about it the less simple the detailing becomes.\u00a0 Mostly because I’ve already finished the vest and the detailing is being added last.\u00a0 (And I just thought of adding Yang’s emblem to the back of the vest in the same color fabric.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For my DARPA Poison Oak I want to take the streamers of leaves apart and sew them directly onto the BDU’s.\u00a0 I think this will make it look more like the original character and add additional durability to everything.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At least I’m half way through growing my beard for Da Vinci.\u00a0 I’m REALLY not a fan of having it this long.\u00a0 I get up in the morning and have to brush the hair out of my eyes.\u00a0 Go ahead and read that again, I’ll wait.\u00a0 The costume itself looks pretty simple.\u00a0 A brown robe, some long johns, a white cap, and water walking boots.\u00a0 See, simple.\u00a0 I can draw from BHCosplay’s experience with building the boots for his Red Legion costume here.\u00a0 He also recommended making them removable so that they can be carried if there’s a long distance to travel.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

John Crichton and All American Boy are exactly what they sound like.\u00a0 Some prop building for Crichton and a lot of sewing for All American Boy. \u00a0YoRHa No.2 Type B<\/span> (2B for short) should be a quick build.\u00a0 Gender swapping it will be easy but may require some rethinking to keep it from looking like other characters in the game.\u00a0 Bonus, I now have an excuse to play the game.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Old Man Yang is the costume that I am, currently, most motivated to work on.\u00a0 Just thinking about the mechanism for getting the claws to extend and retract has taken up a lot of time.\u00a0 I’ve been looking into Arduino controllers and motors as well.\u00a0 I even picked up some straws and kabob skewers to start prototyping.\u00a0 Most of the rail systems I’ve seen online are, either, entirely too large or crazy expensive.\u00a0 I only need it to do 2 things.\u00a0 Move forward, then move back.\u00a0 I don’t even want it to move quickly.\u00a0 I like the idea that the claws move slowly, you know, as if they’re old.\u00a0 I figured I could build a rail system just using pieces of straw on wooden dowels.\u00a0 Three claws are attacked to pieces of straw, they are stabilized at the back end, and moved forward as a single unit.\u00a0 I’ll make the claws out of foam to keep them light so it should not require a very powerful motor.\u00a0 The trick, however, is that the motor has to move in both directions, several inches.\u00a0 At work I deal with motors from time to time but they’ve already been engineered into the products.\u00a0 I just change them and make sure they work.\u00a0 In this case, I have to figure out the entire system from start to finish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I could add notes about my Steam Punk Poison Oak but I’ve stalled on that one pretty solidly.\u00a0 I am also toying with a gender swap Winter Schnee, also from RWBY.\u00a0 Then there’s Shego and any number of other characters to swap.\u00a0 But the fun one that I really want to cosplay isn’t even a character.\u00a0 I want to go to Boston Comic Con so I can cosplay this building!<\/p>\n
