Hello there! Excellent work on your Rick cosplay. Please, tell me more about the sword. I've not used 3D printed resins before so that's all new to me. I take it you had to finish and paint it yourself? If so, what did you use? Any lessons from that you can share? Thanks!

So, does anyone here know of any cosplay get togethers to watch the 25th Anniversary re-release?

This isn't about any sequel. It's about showing the original 1999 film in theaters again this month. And I'm hoping there's some "Mummy" fans to gather at a particular theater to see it all in costume!

The 1999 version of "The Mummy" is getting an official 25th Anniversary re-release this month. https://collider.com/the-mummy-25th-anniversary-screening/ I think it'd be pretty cool to show up cosplaying to a screening of it. I'm in the LA area but haven't heard of any official events for it...

If it's leather you need, go on down to a Walmart and look over their leather belt selection. That's what I did in replacing the miserably cheap "leather" that came with the Cap shield I got. The belts come in different widths and lengths. They are cheap enough that you can buy them and cut...

I've had good luck using Rust-Oleum and Krylon.

The Marlow White "Ike" jacket is now a standard issue US Army item. And it is directly styled from the original WWII US Army "Ike" jackets. The one I picked up through SOF is even more exacting in that regard. Finding an original "Ike" jacket means finding a truly "vintage" bit of clothing...

Hello all! Yes, it's been a while. I got all the elements pulled together in time for San Diego '23. This, to include working up a "blank" disc shield. For that, I bought a pretty cheap painted and starred one, stripped the paint and puttied over the star. Then I repainted it in a metallic...

Hello there! Yes, I am!

Hello all! Any further word on suitable pants for Rick O'Connell cosplay?

Food? At Salt Lake Comic-Con the food trucks line the street out in front of the Convention Center and there's choices aplenty. Enough so that I only had to look at what the Convention Center food vendors were pushing to make clear the food trucks being vastly superior in selection, quality...

Well, sorry I missed you. I saw several Indys running around and but no Dr. Jones Seniors. I was at the Con late in the afternoon on Friday and pretty much just to "get the lay of the land." Saturday I was there early enough and pretty much spent the entire day hanging out in the lobby to...

Excellent! I see that there's an "official" Marvel Cosplay Photo-Op gathering at 2PM on Saturday. I'll be there for that. Is there any specific time or location you'll be at? Do you know of any other such gatherings? Is there some site or forum - aside from LA Comic-Con's Facebook page -...

I'm going to this year's Los Angeles Comic-Con. Anyone else from here going there? I'll be there Friday through Sunday. This'll be my first LA CC. Anything in particular to look out for? Any panels to recommend?

Well, the first time I attended LAX the line was long but I chalked that up to buying my ticket at the door. The second time I did preregister and I recall things going a lot faster. It's been a while though and as that second time attending just confirmed that the event really wasn't for me...
