Hi everyone! I'll be there as Tony Stark, looking forward to stopping by for a bit!

Can't wait to see everyone!

Definitely looking forward to attending this gathering, let me know where to send my donation!

Just want to thank Sporkey for showing the diagrams on the breast plate.. I had to make a few of them (first one too big for my chest) and finally got something I can use. I'll post some pictures if I can, and where I found the pants / shirt for the uniform. Breastplate vest is foam from...

I can hold it for the amount of time I plan on being in costume, which is 4-6 hours.

Part of me wants to drop my current setup and order some stuff from Luminous. However, the other part of me keeps telling myself "You've spent $150 on Lighting alone, and you'd be starting from scratch"

How thick is it and how easily can you bend it? I did a folding trick on my 1/4" EL panel and it worked well enough, but I wouldn't recommend it for every situation as it is more likely to die if bent beyond repair.

Ugh. Just lost a strip of EL Tape. Apparently it does not like to bend TOO much.

Just wanted to come in and say thanks for this post. I was originally planning to very haphazardly cut and segment out the EL panel for the front of my costume, but with your post and my Girlfriend's experience with Bias tape, I managed to fold it very neatly for the front of the costume. Its...

Has anyone tried using both reflective tape and the frosted transparency / shower curtain technique? Results? Good? Waste of time?

sweet thanks.

I have some bad quality screenshots of the robe/cape Sam wears when he goes to the end of line club: I might try to make it if I have time. It looks like a full robe with its own lights, so might be an easier project than the spadex stuff. Plus it looks like Tron Jedi, so double fangasm. Full...

That looks great! I'm going to have to find a roof once I get my suit completed.

Does anyone have any tips on where to get the wire I need if I want to segment my EL Panel from Glowhut? I figure I can manage connecting the wires, and possibly cutting the panel and taping it up so moisture doesn't get in it. I probably need about 10feet of what I assume to be copper...

Body Paint with Glow in the dark stripes.. oooh la la. Edit: seriously though, maybe http://www.closedcellfoams.com/minicel.html Minicel foam if a tightly sculpted rubber suit may not flatter your figure as much as you like. (All you 20 year olds and Fitness buffs can knock yourselves out though)
