Hey and welcome to my multi-build thread.
A little about me and what I am up to! I have been a cosplayer for a while know without knowing it, neat! Every year my little village in rural England holds a carnival. Thousands of people turn out and watch mainly drunken locals parade through the village dressed up! About 5 years ago my father decided to try a big float and we have gone from strength to strength. Having done "cotton eyed joey" (Australia) Harry Potter and Star Wars my small family decided to divert from the main big float (I still help build the big one) but make a small pull along float with our own theme. Last year we did Pokemon Go with home made costumes and had a ball. This year I am stepping it up!

This year I am making from scratch a load of costumes from my 5 year old current fav movie series, the amazing Lord of the Rings. The carnival is the end of September but I am hoping to have some costumes done before London Comic Con. My first ever Con.
I will be Aragorn, in his king costume as I really want to make foam armour!
The mrs will be Legolas, complete with stupidly large bow.
My son will be Frodo
My daughter will be Gollum
Mother in law will be sauromon
Sister in law will be Gandalf the grey
My brother in law will be witch king of angmar
His son will be Gimli
A friend will be Boromir and his son will be Sam. There is also the possibility of another friend and his wife but we need to decide who they will be.
So thats a LOT of costumes. For Comic Con in May 26th I need Aragorn, Legolas, Frodo, Gimli and the witch king. So lets get on it!
This will be a build log with any techniques I find added. I have a 3d printer I will be using for example I will print the wizards staff tops and attach to PVC pipe. This will enable speed and accuracy.
I hope you enjoy this thread as much as I will making it. Any suggestions or advice much appreciated.
