Sounds like you enjoyed yourself Voddas! Chilling in the Everglades sound more up my street than theme parks - The Archos was a good buy, I bought my iPod in the US last year for almost half the UK price.

I buy quite a few R1 DVDs, but I'm noticing the prices rise sharply now as the pound weakens against the dollar. The end of the Golden Age of Importing is nigh!

I like Lain, but it's not a good idea to go into it with any preconceptions of what it's going to be like - 'cause you'll be wrong!

Right, I'm off. See you guys later.

Morning all! Nice Cosplay Tachi. Couldn't see the ebay link coz the sales ended now. Missed Fox yesterday. Sounds like he's busy at work. (I know how you feel).

Mornin Voddas.
went to the dentist yesterday...the idiot drilled too far and hit my nerve WITH THE DRILL, ripping it to pieces. thus changing a simple filling into a route canal being booked to kill the nerve completely. he removed half of it. and its pissed me off that if he wasn't such a n*b head that i'd still have my nerve.


:) glad you agree chaos.
Im looking for it because all other cosplay costumes i've seen online are shiny and are black rather than blue. if anyone knows where i could get a costume like the one above i promise you all i'll wear it from this october expo till 2012.

Hi Tach. My god, dentists just seem to be gettig worse and worse!!! I have to book myself in for next week for a similar mishap. Remember when I told you about my dentist flipping out while drilling my teeth. Well one of the teeth he drilled and never filled cracked while I was on holiday. Doesn't hurt but not pleased about having to return to the detist so soon after I last went.

That is a cool cosplay mate. Always wanted to cosplay myself but never been in a position to do so.
 
8254

Wow! $440!! Eye prodding prices! You'd be better of making one yourself Tachi. It's black too. Sword isn't a biggy. If you can get a plank of wood and a tool shed, garage then you should make one. I've made a few swords in my time like. Just a case of sanding it down untill you happy with it. Then a lick of paint to finish the job ^__^
 
8255

The sword, would be easy, thats where my product design course would come in to help.
But sewing and creating my own cosplay? that is like asking a whale to dance the hokey cokey.
 
8256

I suppose your right. I can put a button on a shirt but creating a full costume is a lil out of my reach like. Hmmm... I'll keep my eye out for you anyway Tach. There must be a cheaper one out there.
 
8257

The one on ebay lastnight was dirt cheap....but almost leather like. shiny and black. i don't want to look like a lost goth,
thats why cloth versions are best, (thing is....i'd cosplay in it....and probs use it for general life too)
 
8258

Well I can find loads of cheap DMC costumes for you however DMC4 is more difficult. I have however found one for $423.95 which is slightly cheaper than the other one and is the same costume. I don't think you be able to find it much cheaper to be honest. Will keep looking for you like ^_^
 
8259

Yeah i searched through google too and saw that, there's alittle problem at the mo. in work ebay's restricted :(
i think....i might have to just buy it.
its gunna be used more than once anyway. so i'll get my moneys worth :)
Update on rebellion....they can't dispatch to the Uk 'due to laws against swords, altho the ban is in place for samurai swords, all swords imported become a liability and thus the store isn't willing to take the chance'

looks like i'm making a sword myself, i've sent a email back to my old prod des teacher and he said i can use the workshop to forge it. its going to take some....but i think i can do it.
the hilt becomes a problem though :/
 
8260

Yeah, well the hilt is always gonna be the hardest bit. Worth giving it a go tho. Sorry to hear about the sword. All the traders will be covering their backs I'd think. I was looking at American Traders and it's insane what you can buy over there. Crazy!
Strange that ebays restricted for you. It's actauly one of the sites I'd expect to be restricted but isn't where I am. But then they'll restrict some stupid sites instead? Wotever ¬_¬
 
8261

Yeah, thats the I.T dept for you.
"block all the sites their likely to use the least"
awwell.

I know how the sword would be made,
the blade itself would be beaten into shape, the hilt would be made in pieces. the ribcage. the two blocks that come out of each side would be made independantly. the head would be made in the same way. then the blade would be slotted into a block hole in the bottom of the ribcage then rivetted and souldered, the hilt would be souldered together (no need or space for rivet joints) and the handle and spikes atop it will be cylinder blocked into the top of the skull and souldered (no real way to rivet joint that due to the shape)

grinded down till sharp on the cornerd and buffered till shiny. then (and this is actually a really good thing believe it or not) wet and dry sandpaper it all over then buff again. then it'll be shiny and any scratches from then of would blend in

thus concludes Tachi's sword forging lesson for today. tomorrow's subject....how to built a elastic band gun ;)

Hi guys, just popping in quick to say hello.

Some good Cosplay there dude.

Im getting tattoo next week! Its gonna be a surprise on what I get.

Ok I went out and bought my VERY FIRST Manga! as ive only ever watched anime, never read the manga's Picked up Claymore Vol.1.

I know your meant to read them back to front, but where abouts do I start on the page. lol I know it sounds like a silly question, but seriously. do I start bottom left, top right. :D
 
8263

I love that you chose Claymore as your first manga Fox. I love it. Still being published like so there is no end as of yet. Oh, and hello for the first time in over a fortnight ^^ You read manga like a comic in reverse. Start from the back and read top right to left and so on.

@Tachi I see you have the hole plan mapped out lol. Mite take some time but will totaly be woth it in the end.
