War Machine Costume Sets Bar High

[Hazy]

Oh boy.

I do proclaim this to be amazing.

 

[Brnin8]

I wish I could get one as a Halloween costume.

Looks nice, but i think cosplay is nerdy and sucks a bit. Its not like a masked ball, that you do some of the time cause its fun and everyone dresses up, its something you do with a group of similar....strange people and pretend you are a fictional character. Running around like that is taking a step too far from board games.

There are quite a few of those 'Strange' people here thanks. And it isnt usually a group, most of these costumes are for Conventions.

 

[xleggroll]

The guy needs to get better looking women in the picture... lol you think with all the time and effort he spent on the costume...

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

I don't remeber the name of the thread but i wanna see the guy that made the workable wrist mounted flame thrower work with this guy, just put in both a flamethrower and machine guns, beat that criminals.

 

[Orange Monkey]

Machine guns in the hands of cosplayers seem to be a bad idea, it's already in his name! In maltese Le means NO!

ANTHONY NO! Don't shoot the rockets at the nice people!

Oddly enough that's what crossed my mind as I saw his name, though the more I think of a guy in a power suit beating the crap out of Maltese sounds most tantalising. Me being in the suit of course.

This has definitely got to be the coolest fan made costume I've ever seen; It doesn't help I love War Machine.

Another Maltese guy on here? What are the chances. Yeah A nice long stroll down republic street in that suit would be worth having to get the bloodstains out of it the next day.

He should get a free ticket to the movie just for being that awesome.

HEll, he should be paid to hang out at one of the major movie theatre launches.

Im not that familiar with such activities, but i see groups of people playing lord of the rings in a nearby forest at the edge of the city. Sorry if i offend you, but i find such behavior strange. If you like something and go to a convention, no reason to dress up like it.

Ah you are confusing Cosplaying and LARP. One is mearly dressing up as a character you like as for fun, and the latter is an actual role playing game usually with rules ect neither of which I find overly weird, even though LARP isnt my kind of thing. And if I like a character why SHOULDN'T I dress up as them? Because you find it socially unacceptable? Because it isn't 'Normal'? If so, kindly go ram a block of cheese up your anus.

 

[Kojiro ftt]

God damn, I thought that was a still from the new film!

 

[ffxfriek]

Its awesome

 

[wilsonscrazybed]

Awesome till you see War Machine stumbling around drunk in the men's bathroom having forgot where the release latch for the codpiece is. Or the long ride home on the train where he passes out and teenage hooligans spray paint him pink.

 

[RatRace123]

That's frakin awesome!

 

[Noone From Nowhere]

I'd only call him crazy if he never even considers trying to get paid to make things like that.

 

[Scrythe]

Sweet mother of Thor, I bet he feels really badass inside of thing.

Y'know, I'm sure with enough disposable income, more and more people would be doing things like this, if it wasn't for pesky things like "free time" and "relationships" and "social lives".

But now I don't feel ashamed of my LED-heavy PC box that doubles as a hovercraft.

 

[Yokai]

Daaaaaamn. I want to learn to do this. Make power armor from scratch, that is, not cosplay War Machine.

 

[Azmael Silverlance]

It looks amazing but im pretty sure the Hollywood one will be better
But great job. For a cospaly costume this is just AWESOME! im sure his fellow CPs will be so jelous.

 

[Woodsey]

I thought it was the actual costume.

In other news, that's really quite sad.

 

[Caimekaze]

Ah i see the problem, i did confuse it. I wouldn't mind dressing up as a roman soldier or a pirate, i wouldn't want to act like i was one with a bunch of people though. Though i don't find such things "socially unacceptable" since the world is as mad as it is, i do find it a bit sad that people would want to be something else rather than live their own lives. Dressing up is kinda normal tho, since people have been doing it for millenia, though a massive roman orgy would still be the most fun you can have while in a costume. (am i allowed to say orgy? cause i don't wanna get suspended again -_-)

It's also a chance to test your own skill at creation.

I like to make costumes that involve complex sewing, as that's where my area of expertise is.

Then you have Volpin [http://volpinprops.blogspot.com/]. The man is like a god.

In other news, that's really quite sad.

Sad? It's a hobby. If he has the ability to make stuff like that, why not?


On the not of cosplay, has anyone seen this amazing prop maker? [http://fiberglassblades.com/Blades.html]

Spoiler: A taste of his work
