I'm gonna be a male test subject, from Portal.

Couldn't make it last year, but i will definitely go this year.
#2
I was Altair from Assassin's Creed on Friday and Sat Morning. Couldnt have missed me, i had that armor on my right side.
#3
Well, the portal gun that i was making didn't turn out how i wanted it to. I suck at fiberglassing and there's so many jagged ends. I'll still come to the gathering as a Test Subject with no gun. Oo

Portal needs some love Oo

There is still a tiny off chance that i can still come to the gathering as a male test subject. It depends if I'm able to make a papercraft portal gun as a final project for one of my classes.

I wont be able to come as a male chell. School is just...being school. I dont see anytime to work on the costume/gun.
#8
Thanks everyone ^^
I made 2 sets for some reason, even though i only need one.

Good luck everyone on your costumes.
#9
Fanime is less than 2 months away...How's everyone doing on their costumes?

Here's a preview of one of my original modifications to my Altair Costume.

#11
Update me on the list. My costume is going to be like Altair, but more additions in armor and hidden blades. So i guess it has become an original character? Oo
#12
Put me down as a tentative Portal character.

I'm planning on doing a male version of Chell and this cosplay will depend on if i can make the portal gun with working lights and stuff.

Looks awesome. What kind of materials did you use? I can make guesses, but I might be wrong, it looks to me that the main piece was made of aluminum flat stock... but like I said, might be wrong.

It's made from Sterling Silver.

Just going to say right now... holy shit my friend. You have a talent for woodcraft. Uhh... I think that they're all going to be ok provided you can answer a couple more questions;
- What does the scale of that revolver actually look like? Is it oversized, or actual revolver sized?
- There is no spring in the hidden blade? And it locks "closed", but not extended?

Thank you  :)

If i put a rectangle around the revolver, it will be around 15in x 9in. It's kinda ridiculous to be honest XD

No springs at all in the hidden blade. Here's a pic of the inside of the Hidden Blade and my video of how it locks:

It was a prototype of my hidden blade, but the locking mechanism is still the same: being held in the "closed" position by 2 magnets. The almost finished one looks almost exactly like the one in the vid; the blade is shaped and i made it a little longer, but none of the blade sticks out of the metal housing.

I thought you'd say that. I thought I recalled the ambassador being a very large gun. When you pull the trigger (which looks like it moves) what does it do? (And if it does move, would it be harmed by us peace-bonding it with the trigger pulled?)

The trigger does not move at all. It's pretty fragile; it broke off once before when i was still working on the gun.
