I'm curious what this outfit is from. Definately looks like a game suit, not quite sure which one though: http://softsupplier.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/SpaceMarine.jpg

Just out of curiosity, you say that it was working and that you had several emails with Jeff, how long did you have it before it broke? Looking on his site his warrenty is only for 30 days. And if it arrived "broken and rusting from a sealed package" why didn't you immediately require a...

In Western shirts that style is actually called a Bib Front Shirt.

Re: Tron Legacy Guard Concept costume (WIP) Where did you get the EL Wire with the mounting tabs?

Maybe you can use the control box from one of these? Animated-signs

Re: Shulkie by valentines day! (She-Hulk WIP) If you can't find the correct color of makeup, look for temporary tattoo ink. A lot of that is a similiar acohol based mixture.

As far as the wiring, does it have to be wire? They make pens with conductive material in them ( CircuitWorks CW2000 | Conductive Pens ) e to fix pcb etchings. With this stuff you are just adding the thickness of the ink.

Re: Ladies can be Iron Man too (in-progress helmet pg 12) Um, about that. I'm pretty sure that if you are wearing your Cap costume: 1) You won't be walking very far. 2) We won't be able to get close enough to say hi. 3) You will want to bring eye drops to help with the flash glare...

There is a rule at fancy dinners that also applies to costuming. That rule is "do what everyone else is doing". I've been to conventions (say Dragoncon) that literally had some groups hanging out in costumes and some groups who were being the characters. There isn't any specific rules other...

You don't happen to have a larger version of this pic do you? I can almost read the writing on one of the chips. If you have one, you can email it to Wookieegunner@highlandcitadel.com if you want.

Very nice. BTW, another trick for getting straps and buckles is to check out the sporting goods section. I can buy a set of two straps and buckles designed to hold a sleeping bag rolled up at Wal-Mart for cheaper than I can buy one of the equivalent buckle (with no strap) at Hancock Fabrics.

To answer the OP, I'm not sure it's more acceptable as much as more prevalent. I've been costuming at conventions for over a decade and a half and I never felt I was "looked down upon" by con-goers. Now as to Kommissar's can of worms. Let me start off by saying I am one of those perverbial...
