So, I have an idea for a cosplay. I would be yoko form gurren lagann, dressed as sniper from TF2. I could even make a 5-7 foot version of his gun.

Do you think people would recognize me/ get the joke?

So you're doing this version of Yoko.

I approve
>> No. 607
>>597
Yes, that's what I would be doing more or less. I was planing on wearing shorts, not pants.

I'm still a little on the fence about it though.
Snipers gun seems a little harder to make then I though at first. But, I could make a simpler version of the gun and be fine.
>> No. 608
>>607
the best thing about TF2 weaponry is that they're quite distinctive, yet simple. and it doesn't matter how big or small you make them.

i've yet to so do, but i was thinking of making a sniper rifle around one of these Buzzbee Hunter dart guns: http://nerfornothing.blogspot.com/2010/08/buzz-bee-hunter.html so maybe you can start from there, with a barrel extension, a paint job and the most comedically oversized scope you can make for it
>> No. 613
>>608
Hmmm, how do you propose extending the barrel?

I was thinking of making mine out of duck tape and wood. (I was going to use a long cookie tin for the scope
http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71215
(I think they sell those tins at CVS for like a buck or so.) What were you going to do?
>> No. 616
>>613
not seeing one of these guns in person, i can't say, but it would usually involve cutting off the front piece, finding a copper or plastic pipe that fits over the orange barrel. and cutting to length.

for the scope, Pringles tube.

I think people would get the joke. I'm okay with it as long as

A) The costume is done well.
B) You aren't a landwhale.
C) You have watched Gurren Lagann.

If one of those do not apply, then please do not do this. B( Because damn it all I've been planning to do this and if your going to it better be good.
>> No. 625
>>620
A)I'll do my best and I have pretty good standards. (I'd rather have no cosplay then a shitty one)

B)I'm not a land wale I have the body for this.

C) I have watched a bit, I just started watching it again.

Now, I have a question for you. Should I go for a hat that fits (and covers her distinctive hair) or a small (Maybe kids hat) that I will have to pin in to place but then the ponytail will be more visible?
>> No. 827
>>625
I think a larger hat would suit the cosplay better.
>> No. 829
>>827
Even though it will cover her ponytail? I dont know how I would get her long hair in there.
>> No. 834
>>625
You could (gasp) cut a hole in the hat and thread her ponytail through it.
>> No. 837
>>834
I thought of that... I just thought it would look stupid.....
>> No. 840
You can take any hairstyle idea from the music video S.t.a.r.S that Yoko's in, just look it up on Youtube. Just remember that sniping's challenging work, so keep it practical.

Almost done,all I need now are glasses and to finish my 5ft sniper riffle.

What do you guys think?

I want to make the two characters more a little obvious,any suggestions? I was thinking of adding yoko's wristbands to the costume.

Sniper patches on the shirt. Can't see the boots, but I'd lean more towards Yoko than Sniper there.
>> No. 1195
>>1193
Oh ya, my friend is making my a button of the sniper patch I'm just gonna pin on to my shoulder.

The boots are just like snipers but with a high-ish heel. I think yokos boots would clash/ be hard to walk in.
>> No. 1196
Other than the patches, it looks great. Planning on wearing sunglasses? Yoko's or Sniper's?
I quite like what is going on in this here thread. You don't look nearly as trashy as Yoko does, which should come as a huge compliment.
>> No. 1200
>>1196
Snipers, not one sells yokos...well one place dose online but they don't look that great. I can get snipers for like 10 bucks.

Thanks! it is I like yoko as a character but she's so slutty. I think this is a lot better.

Yeah, you got a point. It's a mash-up, but it still has to hang together.

It's does look pretty good so far.
