Greetings from the UNSC

[p0rtalman]

Hey everyone, I'm Rowan, i recently found out about this anime club through a friend, and i saw the poster at game traders/vagabond or whatever their calling themselves now.

Anyway, i only recently got into anime, i won a box set at Armageddon last year and since then I've been hooked.
I'm also a cosplayer, anyone who went to Armageddon or eGames will recognize me as the master chief. I'm currently working on a heap of other cosplays, i don't buy stuff pre-made, i make it all myself (with some help from friends and family).
If anyone wants any cosplay tips or help with a costume, please ask, I'm sure i can help.

My favorite animes are (in no particular order):
Cowboy Bebop (my all time favorite, and the best anime ever imo)
samurai champloo
Hellsing (OVA's)
Full Metal Alchemist
Last Exile
Trigun
Air Gear
Shuffle
And that's pretty much all the animes I've seen, aside from a few movies ;D

hay welcome i got a request come as master chief 2 the next meeting (if u can). that would be awsome

[borgieman]

HOLY S**T! THAT WAS YOU AT eGAMES!? That Master Chief cosplay was...EPIC!

[p0rtalman]

Yep that was me at eGames.
I might bring the helmet and some of the other stuff im currently working on. Trust me its just as good
I would bring the whole thing but its very difficult to transport it.

[edelric]

thats awsome! u should so wear it for the up comming cosplay comp (july) that would be soo cool *does a happy ilittle fan girl dance*

[p0rtalman]

Ill have my ODST done by then, so ill wear that, trust me it will look even cooler
I don't think ill enter, i won my fair share of comps last year. But as i said on the manifest forum I'm sure i can make a capable judge, or just help organizing and setting up if needed.

[edelric]

oh that was u, it's hard to keep track of what people are called on other forums. thats awsome

[p0rtalman]

Yeah that was me. I go by p0rtalman on all the forums i use, I'm a it of a forum addict

[Winnkey (Thomas)]

[p0rtalman]

[Winnkey (Thomas)]

[p0rtalman]

Polyurethane resin, aka casting resin.
As well as fiberglass, body filler, sweat and blood (literally)

and of course that is ur fave, who doesn't dig hot demon women.

Haha! true... I wonder how much they get paid to be both babes...

[borgieman]

Master Chief in ALL his manliness!

[Winnkey (Thomas)]

that is one very complex suit

[p0rtalman]

Some of the construction, especially the strapping system is actually rather crude... like every true costume i finished it the night before the convention... ;D
