Looks fantastic @cyberpyrot ! I decided to postpone my build, since it was for a cosplay convention and these aren't happening...

Thanks for sharing Adam, both here and on Tested. Such high quality and polish, but instead of making me feel like an amateur, your builds inspire me to do better <3 Same goes for all you RPF pros.

a video showcasing the sound system! It's effective, no?

Montagar and PlanetAlexander thank you so much. I agree, it's an important prop

Hi again, all! I'm starting another seemingly impossible project, a shoulder-puppet version of BD-1 the adorable droid from the Jedi Fallen Order game. My first step was to rip the game file (downloadable from my dropbox . Huge thanks to Gildor and his UE viewer). The first bit of good news...

Thank you! And here's some photos of my performance as Alphonse Elric at Eurocosplay! Al let down the suitcase then made a staff appear. With Alchemy! (it was just a collapsible staff. but it looked really cool appearing out of nowhere)

Also this fabulous Ed cosplayer next to my Al. Elric Brothers reunite

Thank you everyone! Here's some photos from MCM London, where I competed in Eurocosplay as the Greek Champion. I didn't win, but I'm so proud of my Alphonse.

So I decided to add a prop to my Alphonse Elric cosplay. I chose Ed Elric's suitcase. Here's the finished prop. Big thanks to ATL Kenobi for his suitcase build! So, Alphonse is an empty suit of armor, so he doesn’t need luggage, but he often carries his brother’s suitcase. Arakawa draws it...

Thanks so much for all the kind responses. I'm over the moon :D PlanetAlexander I wish I could have seen your reaction too! Thanks so much for the kind words <3 TheCostumeGeek thank you! I'm attaching my pepakura file in case it helps! After printing and cutting those parts, I assembled with...

AnubisGuard I agree, but as I said I have *no* problem with my rigid core. It keeps the curve just fine. I was wondering if there were any hair products that would keep this curve naturally. Thank you so much though!

Wow thanks all! epoxinator The hair feathers look very promising. If I can find longer and synthetic ones (I'm trying to stay cruelty free for my builds) they might work well! The ponytail is canonically from hair of some sort, so right now I'm closer than if I use feathers, but maybe they...

castpixel's STOMP I wrote a simple tool that uses a smarphone accelerometer (android or iOS) to play stomping sounds for armors, robots, etc. You can get it here castpixel/STOMP It uses two axes of detection, Z for stomping and X for general torso clangs. It also adds a trail of jingling...

propmaster2000 it's not an out there idea at all! Beads inside a hose of some sort is how they keep muppet arms from being completely flabby. I don't have a home depot here in Greece, but the idea is sound! I think it would work more for a tentacle type thing? Definitely worth some...

Thanks everyone! Potroclo absolutely! Here's my stage performance (please go to 29:11) : At that point I was 6 hours on my feet, and pretty much dying. Two straps failed and Al's left leg is sagging a bit. Also my lovely assistant was too tall and undercut the height of the suit a bit. Re...
