Food not so important during cons. If I could have 1 meal in a day, I'm great.
I only buy 1-3 items but they cost $150-$300. One can't miss great deals. Damn FFVII figures are sooo expensive. Some go up to 4-5 hundred, need to save.

the most I've spent at a con on a figure was probably $60… for the megahouse Eureka 7 figure of Eureka... when I was cosplaying her I bought it xD bah
I like to spend money at cons but sadly I also like to snack and eat shit I shouldn't eat throughout the day. Daifuku... OMFG that shit... is SO GOOD u
-
still need some help on my franky…anyone cares to chime in?
-
I wish I could help but I know NOTHING about latex T__T I wish I did… I really need to construct a man chest for SW Luffy and Kidd xD
just looked at a HUGE list of shit I have to get done in less than a month and a half x__x; I am seriously doubting my capability to do it... weeps and that's just the OP cosplay. My sis still wants to do the superjail twins... I don't want to disappoint her or anyone T___T
-
that FT cosplay is KICK ASS I wish I knew how you styled the wig u it's AMAZING iMustang!
And thank you very much too! As omni said the wig was already pre-styled, but it cost over $100 so it was still a hassle… just in a different way, lol. I'll be sure to post full pics after the 25th~
-
well not just the latex thing the thing that gets me is the fabric type i should use because i want to set up only a few spots with latex and other parts
if you need a "man chest" if you like my progress on franky i can help you with it…
am also trying to figure out how to make the detachable right arm...with chain. -
So I entered the AC Paradise One Piece cosplay contest as Usopp. I don't think I'm going to win, but I'm at least going to try.
-
I'm not a part of AC Paradise T___T but I wish you guys all the best luck! I'd be too afraid to enter … cause I know there are most likely cosplay elitist there that are not nice and I don't want them bashing me cause I'm all short and not thin... xD However, I hope your Usopp does well Ichnob u I'd LOVE to see it win something!!
also... got my Luffy vest remade... even made myself stay up and even did all the hems, and button holes and remeasured them and EVERYTHING that pisses me off xD it fits pretty decent now... made it longer so my fat ass is hiding some... xDDD here's a WIP pic LOL cell phone pics are so sucky...
had to crop the pic I accidently caught my mom in the BG xD -
I am ashamed to say that Iroha, myself and our friends Earthbounder and AsumasFire have also entered the ACP contest in the group category. In Brokamas. And by ashamed I mean damn proud.
!
-
"Brokamas" for the win, great pic
-
help, your taking on a major project. i think nobody here knows how to help with the technicalities of your costume. (not that we don't want to) you should go on cosplay.com and look for help. go find some gundam or megaman cosplayers or something, and ask for their help. I just started checking that webpage out myself. lot of stuff on there.
-
There's NO WAY any of you guys who entered will lose, NO POSSIBLE WAY!! There's just NOT a whole lot of epic One Piece cosplay around, so I have faith you guys will win it all :D I'd NEVER enter, no way x_x; Like my sis, I'm sure not gonna enter and be made fun of or bashed cause I'm not spot on perfect x_x;

Hahaha I entered my hubby's Absalom in that contest. And I soon as I get my DBZ Nami completely done and get pictures taken of her, I will be entering her.

-
@Omnichild YAY! I was hoping more people from the forums would enter so I could add more faces to names. Also, Absalom is awesome and I can't wait to see your DBZ Nami.
-
I entered Kaku, though I wish I had waited because I'll have my secret done pretty soon DX Though I don't think I would have been able to really enter that one anyway.
-
@Binkx: I have actually commented on your ACP page a couple times. (I'm omnichan on there) And your brokama group is so awesome, I bet you guys will win.
-
am heading to free con tonight
-
So I guess there's no one here going to Kawaii Con this weekend? I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for whoever's going to check out the Hawaiian International Film Festival, where they're showing STRONG WORLD with subtitles.
Well, Jess and Kim are going, so hopefully they get to see the movie. I'll ask them about it if they do.
-
shit my brother live in that area in HI…that sucks.
-
I don't remember posting the mostly finished Gilbert Nightray gun, so Imma do it now.
And then, I am almost done with my Sailor Moon wig.
!
-
nice sailor moon sniper
-
i love your sailor moon costumes.
though, the odangos might get a bit too big after you wrap the hair around those balls?
maybe. we'll see. -
One side already has the hair around it. The hair doesn't really add anyhting to it.
Thanks guys!
-
omni, what did you use for the actual gun parts? Hand-made or disassembled from another gun?
I would like a revolver for my steampunk costume.
-
My hubby made it. And it is pretty much 100% plexiglass. barring the wooden handle and the couple metal screws. He was wanting to make it so the trigger could pull back and one of his earlier models did work, but for this one, we decided against the movable trigger due to time constraints.
We had very few reference shots of the gun and neither of us have ever seen a gun in real life. So I am really amazed at how well this turned out.
-
HOW do you work with plexiglass D: all you amazing prop makers.. I DEMAND tutorials or links to them Dx I'm still afraid of wonderflex … u__u and I NEED to learn to use it ;____;
I also need to get advice from Kaizoku-Syn on how he did Kizaru's stripes... well the stripe inbetween the gold stripes T__T I'm lost on it ... SIGH.
-
lol plexiglass isn't that hard to work with. It is mostly cutting and glueing and sanding.
-
About the food issue at hotels, I did not think about taking a rice cooker, I have one of those! Need to remember to add that to the list. I'd rather eat light anyway, but having some rice on hand would help me save money and not have to go out to eat like we usually do.
Also, even though they do not have microwaves, there are those coffee machines that you can easily make ramen noodles in. Not that I eat ramen anymore (been like 6 months since I've eaten any!)
I am ashamed to say that Iroha, myself and our friends Earthbounder and AsumasFire have also entered the ACP contest in the group category. In Brokamas. And by ashamed I mean damn proud.
You guys look fantastic! Awesome group! XD If I was there I would totally vote for you guys u
-
once again…. when I go to a convention one of the perks is getting take out no matter HOW fattening and expensive it is... I can't DO that at home ... it's more fun for me to do it at a convention. I HATE cup ramen... I hate runny Ramen Dx it's nasty... I like all the water cooked out of mine so I'd rather get chinese down the street at the chinese restaurant. I know most people don't have much money at cons and would rather not pay to eat and such but that's what my monies FOR when I go xD
-
ooh. excellent. I'll remind you then, neko. and I'll chip in for some rice. what do you guys eat with your rice? I can't eat it just plain. gotta put some peas or ranch dressing, or SOMETHING with it. ooh. maybe some caned tuna.
-
omg… rice and ranch? EEWWWWWW Dx maybe I'm just too used to fried rice... which I will be buying at the chinese restaurant a block away from the con xD
-
i'm crazy with sauces. I gotta put sauce on everything. salad dressings are cheap sauces.
-
ranch and rice????? WHAAT?
lol if I am not eating fried rice or rice with something like curry. I like to mix in cream of chicken soup and canned corn in it.
-

Silly Canadian!! We have this Rice seasoning that is some of the most wonderful stuff on earth. I could just eat that together.
-
Mmm I really want a rice cooker now.
I never thought about this before. It is filling, and it is cheap >___> The possibilities…
-
lol well if we all every at a con at the same time i will make sure all of you guys are feed fat and happy.
-
lol no, silly usopp, cricky. my friends think i'm weird too. i like that cream soup idea too.
-
For some reason I just want a grilled cheese sandwich and some dorritos. No oddly seasoned rice for me xDD
My sis should be waking up sometime within' the next hour or so..
We shall be attempting a suit today xD
-
i want to get this suit DONE I think I had dreams about it Dx
-
ooh. excellent. I'll remind you then, neko. and I'll chip in for some rice. what do you guys eat with your rice? I can't eat it just plain. gotta put some peas or ranch dressing, or SOMETHING with it. ooh. maybe some caned tuna.
Bring whatever you want to season it! Hell, I put ketchup in rice, WHAT. XD I'd probably just cook it normal and just add on whatever as we go so everyone is happy. Tuna would be good with rice. We'd need some kind of meat or protein to go with it.
Can't wait! I'll make sure and pack that rice cooker <3
-
yay! no 3 square meals of taco bell this year!
-
I'm SO GLAD I'm going to eat at places near the con… rice with KETCHUP? never heard of it D: but then again all I'm accustomed to is fried rice xD
got all the pattern pieces cut out for the suit top u don't have enough time to finish it today thanks to work 4-11 but I don't go in till 4-11 again till tomorrow so inbetween that time... I hope to have something put together u THEN Admiral suit tops!
-
yay! no 3 square meals of taco bell this year!
This way, we can eat better AND save money for con merch =3 YAY!
-
i don't care about the merch. i got anime north the weekend before. This will help stretch my food money for the whole week, and give me some money for other fun stuff. i'm around monday and tuesday after the con. you available for some fun?
oh yes, and if i have room in my luggage, i will bring some all dressed chips, and ketchup chips to try. lol i dun like the ketchup ones, but at least you can say you've tried them.
-
Oh man having 30 minutes to kill in Walmart lead to some very interesting discoveries.
They actually have freeze-dried food. I need to get some and try this and if it's any good it's a great meal replacement XD They also had tiny cook tops for heating up small things though, that might be a fire hazard >_>
-
i just tried some paper mache pulp to make my little hat more smooth, but, i think it made my hat more lumpy. i'm hoping i can sand it down when it dries.
paper mache pulp is real fun though. it feels great.
