I am in the process of making a wiseman costume and I noticed something the badge says the welsh but was changed to the welch. I don't want to order the wrong one so does any one have any ref pics of the badge in high res?
Here's where I am now
Hat: Cheviot minus badge
Badge I want to get from ebay
My coat
The costume group I'm working with is UK based and the girls have done a great job. Personally I think Jerri's is the best Babydoll ever she looks like her even out of costume. I did the photoshop if anyone's interested it's my job
The rest of the group
I'm hoping my Wiseman should go down well at this years MCM Expo :cool

One of our Suckerpunch photoshoot group photos taken by the photographer got put up! Can't wait for more, and can't wait for Dragoncon!
(Me as Babydoll, Cyna Myn as Blondie, Yaya Han as Amber)
And of course, after this day of the con, I realized I had the katana slung on the wrong side. *sigh*
Parks--haha the paint job on the sheath was seriously an 11th hour hurried job, I thought it looked a little too Luis-Vuitton. :lol
I saw this on facebook. was it Kevin that took them? His style differs slightly. You all look great. High end cosplay at it's best. I'm doing a Wiseman cosplay this year with a SP group. See above for pics

great costumes all around.
@parkseii: If I didn't know any better I'd swear that poster was the real deal! Your costume is absolutely spot on!

The Sucker Punch character posters are perfect for Photoshop work.
I'm working on improving the Babydoll poster I made for my daughter.
Parks
Great Job on both the costume and the pshop. It's nice to find some guys on this thread I was getting lost in all the Baby Doll discussions. Maybe we should have a wiseman thread so we can track down that damn coat :lol

I never really understood why everyone also wanted to be Slave Leia. So what's your point?

Who is Slave Leia?
And I don't really have a point just stating what I was thinking at the time. Sorry if that's a mistake.

If I could find the coat, I might very well do the Wise Man next year. It's one of the few characters of which I am age appropriate and could therefore show my actual face.

Paul, I don't know where you saw the badge changed to the Welch. In this close-up of Scott Glenn in costume, it definitely says Welsh.

@Predpaul thanks! (for what little I can take credit for there haha.) Yknow I'm not sure, I'm absolutely terrible with names. I know his handle is Ghinto, and his watermark should be in the corner of that pic there. I feel like the name is familiar.
I'm excited to see some Wisemen popping up! You're definitely on the right track with the vintage stuff there, it looks great. And I could swear there was a thread for it.... maybe I'm wrong....
(EDIT: I was wrong, it's the gas mask zombie thread lol. Neevermind.)
....really?

I googled welsh regiment badge and post world war 1 it changed to Welch the welsh for the same word
The coat is definitely a WW1 greatcoat and I agree it looks like we have to do the detailing ourselves to get the cuffs, buckles etc...
Parks I could bow down to you all day for your Sturmtrupp it is screen accurate. I'm only 35 so I will need a bit of aging but that's the whole fun of it
If you haven't already check out my other costumes. I'll list here then link to the appropriate costume. My Kyle reese is so famous now that Linda Hamilton has it on her facebook and I often chat to her about. She says she looks good in the pic I like to think I do too.:lol
OK here's my costumes
Aliens: Dropship Pilot and Alien Warrior
Predator: Paulo my own creation
Terminator: Kyle Reese
and with Linda: Collectormania 2010
Resident Evil: Chris Redfield
Sucker Punch: Wiseman (WIP)
Indiana Jones: ROTLA edition
Kickass: Hero Suit

Hey guys! I'm new to the forum I'm working on a Blondie costume for Halloween, my friend's wedding (everyone is to dress in costume) and for Ohayocon! I, unfortunately, can not devote as much money or craftsmanship as you fine people (and I have seen some AWESOME work come out of that) because I will be moving in a month and I have to hoard all of my money like a rabbit. I think though, that I've found an awesome pair of boots from Hot Topic that would really rock with the costume, so now the only thing I'm having a hard time finding is a good tomahawk holster for my waist. Anyone have any ideas or tips? Much help would be appreciated!
Thanks so much!

No problem RebellionBarbie thanks for your kind words. :$ I am making some poster pics of the cast using worldwide cosplayers I spoke to Cynthia and did one for her the others are the UK cosplay group I am working with. I will point out that the gasmask guys were in the shot because we thought they looked the part they are not in the group
If you are able to view the whole album on facebook here is my work so far
I hope my wiseman does the film justice it seems to be me and Parks holding the fort for the guys here :lol

Actually, the Wise Man is not wearing the serge wool overcoat but rather a trench coat, which was popular amongst British officers -- and often privately purchased, rather than government issued -- during the War. I've had a casual interest in finding a similar coat and haven't had any luck so far. I might have to look harder.
An advantage of the trench coat over the heavy overcoat is comfort...it will be much more comfortable wearing a light wool/cotton trench coat over the wool British uniform than the heavy serge wool overcoat.
Actually, I have to bow down to you. Your other costumes are simply amazing and you have a diversity that I will never have. I am first and foremost a historian and living history re-enactor, so my comfort zone is in modifications of (mostly) military re-enactment gear. I could never pull off a Predator or Alien, for instance. My Kick-Ass Big Daddy last year was a joke, its only worth being that I was the only Big Daddy at Comic-Con. The guy who bought the pieces from me improved on it greatly, I was glad to see. Any future costumes I do will be mods on WW1 or WW2 uniforms, so I'm really only a one-trick pony.
The other challenge with the Wise Man (WW1 sequence) is his Springfield 1903 rifle with scope. There is no plastic version of the Springfield available that can be carried safely to a convention (I carried a plastic WW2-era Mauser 98k to Comic-Con for the Sucker Punch zombie...in the Sucker Punch character poster, I am carrying a real WW1-era Mauser Gew98). If the airsoft hobby continues to expand, maybe that will change. Looking through the airsoft forums, several people are calling for a Springfield to be made.

Whoah thank you I wasn't expecting that. Getting back to the coat would I be better off searching for trench coat because I have been looking at greatcoats :eek
I may also have the advantage living in the U.K

What you got was my reaction after looking through your costume portfolio. Amazing work...if enough people haven't told you that, then please allow me. And it's not just the accuracy and detail that you put into the costumes, but what you did with it after. Especially memorable to me was the image of the Alien Warrior reaching down to pet a little doggy. A little visual gag like that goes a long, long way in conveying the sheer fun of this hobby.
I work as an advisor in documentary film production and it never ceases to amaze me that what might take an army of Wardrobe, Makeup and Visual Effects crew (with a budget) in order to create a particular character, one determined individual in this hobby can achieve much the same result, with home-grown methods that are sometimes even more efficient and/or innovative. That's what I love about this site and the people who participate.
I would assume that you do have the advantage, living in the UK. The trench coat worn by the Wise Man appears to be of the Burberry pattern...military or civilian, it doesn't matter. A new, genuine Burberry coat is too expensive, but you might find a vintage one if you look through the second-hand or surplus shops.

I found a couple of old magazine ads for trench coats that might be of use, though they only have illustrations and not actual pictures.
