Re: Overwatch: Reinhardt, Reaper and a lil D.Va [pic heavy]
Sorry I haven't posted lately but I was pushing to the last minute to get it done.
Firstly, I made it into the competition. I got very lucky and a few people did not turn up and register.
So here is my first full suit up in the carpark.
My toes broke off, i needed to use thicker wood. The foam grip of the eva foam on the gravel kept catching which made the wood weak then break. Also, the way the wood broke off caused one of the stilts to collapse so when I got in and registered I went straight to the Cosplay Repair centre and they were just awesome.
The stilt didn't last the day so my heel was at the right height but my toes were on their tips, i can't complain too much because i expect that's what wearing heels must be like for the ladies.
Here is me with Vera Chimera

This is how it looked the next morning in the car.. the best part of cosplay is always taking it off,
Also, that's a 2 door Rav 4, so it's tiny, i removed the rear seats to fit it in and my son had an arm on his lap the entire way. Not comfortable.
And here's where it is now...awaiting repairs and upgrades. There were so many things I left off in the final crunch, the hand armour, the shield, the lights ..lots of things to upgrade and to make it more comfortable. I don't know what it weighs (i'm going to weigh it soon) but even with the weight evenly spread across both shoulders it got too much at the 5 hour mark.
And here is the make up, I used Rigid Collodion to make the scar, I put down some eyeliner, then the Rigic Collodion, then more and more till I was happy with the depth of the scar, then went over the scar with some lipstick and finally some concealer to tone it down. My wife is a hari dresser and against her better judgement she bleached my hair for me then mixed the product so I could do my beard. This part hurt alot and I don't recommend it. She's also not happy I shaved a gap in my eyebrow. And try as I might I could not get the blind contact lens in, i've never worn contacts before and I should have had a practice.
And that's all the photos I have so far, alot were taken but not by me
So i'll just wait for them to appear on social media.n If you know anyone that was there and took some please point them in my direction
Also, I won best in show
..anyway, as noted my Reinhardt is not finished yet so there will still be updates. As always thanks for your support and thanks for reading.
