That is in fact our one and only Portland Unipiper. I had no idea he'd be up at ECCC as well, so it was quite the surprise to be able to get a pic with him.

Do NOT drop those Aurra Sing blasters!  :o Mine already has a few dings and pieces broken off  :(

Kit looks good, vod! Way better then mine when I debuted it last year at WonderCon '11.

I find it hilarious I'm in almost all of these photos  :laugh:

And the Aurra Sing blaster was mine, A'den.  ;)


Like I said in person Jobatt, excellent kit, really digging the weathering.

Only thing I can think you need to tweak would be the cape since it was giving you trouble at the con. Oh and get a sling, a sheath, and some holsters so you can walk around with all your weapons at once.

But... I don't think I ever held his aurra sing... *shrug* And yeah, that's the plan is to create a means for carrying all of my goodies. The cape issue is fixed, so long as I have someone else fasten the string for me.

I think I trusted you with it... Once  ;D

Yeah, once you get holstered up and decked out in weapons, you'll be looking even more rad than you currently are.

Oh, thought of one other thing. The wraps you've got on the shins, might give it a bit more depth if you wrap it layered in strips, or pleat it to give that appearance. (Think Starkiller style)

Hmmm.... is not a bad idea actually. My wraps are more meant to act as a means to blend my boots with my suit more seamlessly, creating the illusion of taller boots. I kind of like the look starkiller has... though his appear to go all around the boot as well... I'll look into making something like that... I'm envisioning something that looks like lots of wrapped fabric, but is really one larger piece... with velcro on the bottom of the boots to close up the part that wraps under there.

We'll see... I got a new pair of boots before ECCC, but I haven't decided what to use them on yet.  ;)

I do believe the same idea would tie in nicely with your girth wrap as well.

Thanks Ner Vod! And actually my flack vest is a paintball vest I found at Goodwill and turned inside out. Got kind of lucky there. I'm planning at some point to change it out for a more traditional style vest, just because there are some issues where the vest doesn't like to fold when I sit, but yeah it was a lucky find.

Good luck vod.

Anyhow, I thought I'd include a timeline of the costume from when I first started all the way through it's completion and debut.


"First" pic of the "costume" in action - May/June 2011


First time out with the costume in a mostly wearable state - PAX Prime 2011


First time out with a helmet in a wearable state - Kumoricon 2011


First time as a nearly complete kit - Portland comic book show 2011


Complete costume for application pics - March 2012


Full Debut of the costume as an Official Member of the Mercs - Emerald City Comic Con 2012


As you can see, my costume went through a bunch of different design changes and paint scheme variations before I arrived at my final stage.
