Ditto another COH fan! My main character was Maiko but I also used to run one called the OAP Avenger (Old Aged Pensioner) in the interests of representing some heroes of a more veteran nature. That Statesman looks fab!

I like the idea of using lino, it's a very neat idea. Keep up the good work. It's looking great!

Surely it can't be legal to have this much talent?

This is amazing. It really shows what you can do with relatively inexpensive materials and methods. Keep going!

I hope I'm not butting in here but to me it looks like he's wearing from the outside in 1)a black coat of which the cuffs are red 2) It appears that he's wearing a red waistcoat/circus ring leader coat (highly cut above the waist and possibly double-breasted?), the large lapels for that kind of...

That is some beautiful work there. I applaud your efforts and now I shall sit and be silently envious.

Fantastic Buzz Lightyear build! Beautifully done.

That's a wonderful piece of work there. I'm sure there's many a space museum who'd love to get their hands such an accurate replica.

Unfortunately I'm not able to offer any advice for your build but I just wanted to say it's looking amazing. Dressing as a Metrocop seems to offer as much fun as being dressed as a Stormtrooper, you can really ham up the authoritarian foot soldier personality.

In what must be the World's Slowest Costume Build, I have finally decided to tackle the belt. And so far it has taken me as long as creating the skirt, chemise, bodice and necklace altogether. I think I've run out of steam. After going cross eyed staring at my reference pics I decided on the...

Do you have the 80's tunes on cassette to go with your walkman? 1. Blue Swede - Hooked on a Feeling 2. Raspberries - Go All the Way 3. Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky 4. David Bowie - Moonage Daydream 5. Elvin Bishop - Fooled Around and Fell in Love 6. 10Cc - I'm Not in Love 7. Jackson 5 -...

Very pretty! I'd love a pair in my wardrobe.

This is probably one of my favourite shows on the moment and what a fab idea for a costume couple.
