Would you Kindly change the First post to reflect that I might Cosplay as either a L4D hunter or an HECU Combat Engineer for the gathering considering that I am working on my Engineer cosplay, and am getting closer to it.

Hmmm...I wonder if the brass in the pressure gauges for the false regulators on the oxy-fuel setup will be allowable... the rovers are pretty strict on metals, but it's nigh impossible to get a non metallic pressure gauge...


Been designing the Oxy-fuel rig for my Engineer cosplay and I ran into that problem.

I know! I'm running into the same problems in designing things to be 'safe' and I'm getting sick of it!


I need a pressure valve for a couple of things and I don't know what to do other then cardboard...tacky....

Meh, I'll fire off a query to the rovers and see if I can, since it's not something I'm going to be waving around anyway.

Yay! My spray paint works on my material! One more step closer to finishing! Now if only my sewing machine would sew through the fabric properly....



P.S. I am on spring break this week but will not be on here for a couple of days due to a oral surgery and having no internet at my house... (I hate living in the stone age at my house... freaking older parents) but on the bright side I'll probably be bored out of my mind And out of my mind on pain killersand I'll get some more costumes done!

Ok, so Mike got back to me on my query.

QuoteAs long as the pressure gauge is securely attached to the backpack and the backpack is secured to your person I don't that as an issue. you may want to come the Peace bonding table and have it checked out and maybe even zip tied so no one harasses you in the halls. If you have any questions or any issues ask them to radio me and I will have a look at it personally.

    Since the Prop is part of a backpack and I'm not going to be waving it around like some sword crazed (or crowbar crazed if I stick to the Half life series) lunatic, would it be problematic if I were to use the metal pressure gauge? Or would I have to coat the metal surfaces with a rubber compound of some sort to pass muster?

HelloDolly

I'm actually a fan of http://kingdom-arts.org/patches.html. She takes in account that patches on RED uniforms are orangey-yellow (whereas BLUs are pure yellow) which is great for people with accuracy OCD. Dunno the prices on the person from DA, though, they might be cheaper.

Also Kingdom Arts does the company logos. Not as high-quality as the ones you'd get from the WAR BONDS! pack but not bad nonetheless.

Rodney_Pheonix

Hmmmm... wonder if I could get her to do a couple custom patches for me based on the designs I'm working on.

Basically a variation on the special forces insignia...
