Weapons: Terran Marine Rifle

 

This is Lee Houlgate, a cosplayer and cosplay constructor living in the UK, he wants to build the awesomest StarCraft marine mech suit cosplay known to man. The suit itself will be an impressive 8' feet tall and for some perspective, the gun alone is 5' feet in length.

He plans on having this steel / aluminium suit built to the hilt with robotics that increases his strength, NERF gun weaponry (for blasting), and all the gadgets and gizmos any space marine would have or ever need. If you are interested in helping him out, check out his kickstarter project to learn more.

R2-D2 Heels by Mikeasaurus
Learn how to make your own over at Instructables.
"The wide heel of these shoes was removed and replaced with a steel bolt to provide strength and support, but at a fraction of the size. An R2D2 toy covers the heel bolt, and the toes have been decorated with lenses, blue accents, and a blinking red LED to let everyone know just how this droid rolls."

Popeye
Costume by CraftyBitch
"For many Craft-0-holics such as myself, Halloween is truly is the most wonderful time of the year. The sweet treats are great, but nothing can top the satisfaction of completing a truly original costume.

Before my son was even born, I had already decided that my boy was going to dress up as Popeye. In doing the research, there were a few variations on the look depending on what era of Popeye you found. I started with a simple black onesie and then sewed the nude arms to the cuffs, tipped in red elastic for easy on-and-off functionality. I stuffed cotton balls between the 2 layers and drew the anchors directly onto the fabric. The hat & collar I simply designed on paper before cutting the fabric. The collar has a snap-front so that I wouldn't have to stretch it over his head. The hat is secured with a thin elastic strap. I wanted to play with scale which is why I made it purposely small & tipped to one side."

Accessory: Fourth Doctor Scarf


"28’ 1”, not including tassels. 100% wool, handknitted. Like. A. Boss.

I’m really burned out on the Doctor Who Scarf thing now, but I’m sure eventually I’ll make another one of these and sell it. But before I do that, my next replica will be the S18 scarf - completely different. But before that I have a couple other projects and things. :)

I love my scarf."
