Next may I'l be spy and need to think up something outdo my self again .
Funny enough Tentacle Spy was better than Spy-Dispenser .

This may, i may actually wear an Heavy cosplay to go with my Sasha nerf gun.
May even make it fire this time too

failing that, tracking down the nerf missile launcher and modding it into the Soldier's rocket launcher wouldn't be a bad idea

that thing better shoot pockys too , Just image it... A rain of Tiny pockys falling apon the unaware victims

Will hopefully be going as a RED Spy next May...if not it'll be a Black Mesa employed Spy giving out cake as a recruitment drive. (Cause you know, at Black Mesa the cake isn't a lie)

<- (!?!)

Yay i likes that hoovy.
Last time he was pointing at sky saying ,DOktor Look at birdie *u*

Does anyone actually know who this soldier is? Cause he was fucking awesome.

>>132
Hey Hoovy, eez Spahro here :B

I'm gonna put up a tutorial of how I made my halo later!
Just wondering whether I should just link the images or make them into a whole jpg tutorial.

whole jpg tutorials are more cleaner i feel

I know him many times but the name slips me D:
I knew last time aswell he lost his rocket launcher after it started raining .A.

I wish I knew his name, he kept running about and everytime I saw his it was like

"Oh hai"
"hey Hoovy"

I miss Expo already

And here's something burned into my eyes forever,
Snap when i jumped n twirled :x

>>159
You sure that wasn't the Rocket Launcher that Engie ended up giving away?

In any case, I THINK I have his username in my Expo book. I'll try and dig it up later for whoever wants it.

In any case, I want to re-use Miss Pauling again, because hell, running around in character was a hellava lot of fun and I got to help out whilst doing so.

I know we've got a BLU flag being made now... I wonder if I could get me a general 'TFIndustries' flag. >-> Make sure I don't get called bias again.

silly miss Pauling you did a fine job ~

I wonder why the accouner never came in the end D:
I hope for a blu flag and this time, I wonder what i can do to make it even more interesting for everyone next time ?~

I was sad at the lack of Announcer. ;w; And the lack of SAXTON HALE.

I always try and find more to make the shoot more fun.
Chibi's birthday ended up as a second gathering, which make me wonder that if people have the money to chip in for food, why not have an after-shoot picnic on the Saturday? :D

And also, I apologize if I went a little crazy defending that flag by the way... (and thanks DragonerDarko for the picture!)

Dat hair though, can anyone give me tips on how the hell to keep two buns staying still on the bottom of my hair?

>>206
Small black hairnets maybe? Alternatively you could maybe gel the top layer in place if you don't mind having solid hair.

Oh my god I STILL wanna know that frackin' Soldier's frackin' name

Miss Pauling, you were fabulous, I'm sure you recall being sandwiched between a pair of Pyros, one RED, one BLU - the BLU was I! Do bring a BLU flag, it'd be very well received.

Gel the top layer in place? How so?

I can't confirm that this is the exact soldier, but: thebigemp3 is what I have in my book.

And oh god. It's you. There's a picture of the Pauling-Pyro sandwhich on Facebook.
Due to the fail of this PC not liking to save things, I sadly can only link:
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs792.snc4/67259_491465755148_657080148_7399206_3543215_n.jpg

i've discovered that 600mAh batteries can make Sasha shoot,for 12 seconds..

and then batteries go flat.

good thing it didn't cost me $400,000 to figure out, just £7 in RC batteries. maybe one day i'll actually look at it in order to figure out why it's still not shooting boolets.

that or say to hell with it, and stick it up on Ebay for someone else to have a headache over it

>>255
It's the gun model, there are two different slots for batteries (or so I'm told, mine was to covered in tape to check), one powers the barrel, the other powers the shooting mechanism

>>265
nerf havoc fire/vulcan only uses 1 set of batteries for both jobs.
iirc, you may have used a other brand dart gun called the punisher. basically has the rotating barrel that spins around a fixed barrel that the darts fire from, which would have been easier, but in my opinion is quite lame and cheating.
http://nerfornothing.blogspot.com/2009/09/air-zone-punisher-gatling-gun.html

if you're going to the effort to make it, why not make it as realistic as possible, that's what i say

>>276
Yeah, it was the Punisher, it was the closest thing we could find

Seeing all these pictures burns my soul.

I actually was in the expo on the second day and I saw so few of you amazing people there. Mostly because I was a major blind derp on her first decent con ever 8[
Anyway, I'm thinking of doing my first cosplay ever for spring- female spy.
(I'm saving Pyro and my other dream cosplays for the future, though I kinda doubt it will happen)

Yay or nay?

>>282
Cosplay what you like, pal! And regarding female versions: Nobody gives a shit as long as you don't make the costume unnecessarily slutty.

Who thinks Hoovy should go as Saxton Hale?
(+300 pounds in weight)

I swear to god, if you cosplay as Saxton Hale I may jump you.

...Which may be quite amusing, because Miss Pauling jumping Saxton Hale.

You'd have to shave your chest hair in the shape of Australia though.

if not enough chest hair , may i recommend a cut out paper and Grizzly brown Spray paint =3?

It'l be awesome seeing saxton hale
And for next october i've decided i'l give a shot at that Headless Horselessmen

Gentlemen!

Planning to do a RED "Femgineer" (female engineer) and my boyfriend will be a BLU spy. We'll be "Sap-shipping" it all up that day :B

Looking forward to indulging in TF2 related lolz, you guys look like you're having so much fun 8D

Might think about doing a skit in the masq, involving TF2 and the Village People, you know the one >8D

>>330
This has the potential to be amazing.

>>333

If anyone is willing to do a Sniper with a Native American head-dress, they shall be paid in jarate!

i knows a sniper that'l do that :D

Also I just had a Brain blast~
Make a Heavy pinata ! Big man iz Filled With candy N lil scout will Keel Him with Tiny bat

I'm going to be BLU Sniper on the Sunday! :D

>>336

HEAVY PINATA IS CREDIT TO TEAM 8DDD

I'm REALLY tempted to make a pinata now...

Well i could use a hand with putting the thing together at expo, Carrying a fully made pinata heavy will kill all the space in my bag

BLU Lady Sniper here! Next year I'm itching to do RED Demo - construction begins as soon as uni breaks for Christmas. Oh, I have Grand Designs for this one. Grand Designs!

Also, if I start early, it might actually be finished by May.

>>330
As a potentially handsome man, I DEMAND to be given a spot.

DEMAND it.

>>359
I have a thread up on the Expo forums at the mo to discuss things, if you're already on that thread then whoot XD but atm it's a case of assigning parts to which class if you know what I mean :D But yes, I can definitely get you a spot if you demand it <3

There was so many awesome cosplayers at expo in the TF2 groups both days! There was a blu engie on the sunday and talked to it, opened it's mouth and christ no idea it was a girl, good trap is good.

post pics ppl let this be a pictor topic

Anyone off to Midlands this year?

I am inddeed. I'll be cosplaying a Splicer though. I know me and Tentaspy might be messing around later in the day in TF2Cosplay though.

I'm not sure if I'll be going to the expo any more. It sucks as it's one of my favourite places to go, but I'll probably end up sending one of my friends with some money and a list of the comics to buy, or drugging myself up before going or w/e.

Finally got my Spy cosplay done. Should be joined by a hunter zombie and either an Engineer or a Soldier. Oh, and my little brother has grown out of his mini-Vader cosplay so there'll be no more tiny Vader.
I'm tempted to pimp myself out and give out fics to people from here.

Makeup test run for February get.

Sort of happy with it, but I can't get the L4D2 colour down at all. It's more red-brown than that in real life, but still... so inaccurate.

I'm gonna be wearing this shit over all the skin that's exposed. I expect it will feel strange.

>>884
Psh. Just do what I do and get horribly drunk.

>>891
I shouldn't worry, 'vern, that looks fucking
amazing to me.

>>891
That's fantastic, what brand of make-up did you use? Did you read any tutorials?

>>899
The makeup's all Snazzaroo, which is water-based. I used this tutorial for the skin: http://www.instructables.com/id/Burn-Makeup-With-Liquid-Latex/#step1

You pretty much just put a layer of latex down, cover it all in a thin layer of tissue and then latex over it again.

Also holy shit Smiffy's vampire blood, so cheap but it dries all crispy and gross. I love it.

>>900
Fantastic, thanks!
Couple more questions for ya- have you tried putting the latex on your arms and taking it off? Does it rip out your hair and sting like a bitch?

>>903
Yeah, in fact in that test run I completely forgot about it and painted the latex up onto my forearm... I regretted it a lot. Covering any hair in vaseline is supposed to stop it sticking (though I haven't tried it), but using hair removal cream or I guess just shaving makes it both easy and painless to take off.

SOOOO. Thanks to a certain fem!Medic, High chance I'll be wearing Pauling for Feburary too.

AS USUAL, I'LL BE TRYING TO MAKE A LIST OF TF2 (and possibly general Valve) COSPLAYERS. ♥ Feel free to bombard me if you see me, since I'll be in character for the most part.

Hey i'm wearing sniper and bringing my 90% real rifle to feb expo I AM A FAGGOT HUMP MY RUMP Blu team of course. Look foreward to seeing people also im bring Cake 8D its my birthday like 3 days after so yay tf2 cake 8D

(KNOCK THAT UNDERAGE EMOTICON SHIT OFF)

>>922
What's not real about it? :O

Also. Cake.

And hell yes, more TF2 cosplayers at Feb.~

More news for Feb: We should be having SodiRyfe as Tentaspy again!

Butter course , but do be aware of my plushie tentacles ~ Unlike scout that night

Hey guys blu sniper here with blu medic and blonde blu scout in my bed I AM A FAGGOT HUMP MY RUMP we got home alright singing along to TF2 songs. Hoping to see the pictures soon

I might be able to upload them to Facebook soon.~

If you add 'Walter J Pauling' on Facebook, that's my Expo Facebook.

It was nice meeting you guys!

dat goddamn batman

Those Nik Naks were the only thing I ate all day. :I

I'm kind of sad I didn't get any photos of anyone, but we couldn't take a camera with us. ffff

Who's going to the one in May?

RED Demolass reporting in for May, Saturday only. There's a thread open on the forums, for anyone who hasn't seen it:
http://www.mcmexpogroup.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=361&t=15787

RED fem!Spy, Sunday only, don't have an account on their forums so I can't exactly tell them there.

>>1115
It was a week before they tried to validate my account, by which time it was non-existent.

Blu-fem sniper, Saturday only.

I never posted the Drinking meet here, did I?

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=186631171370928

I'm going, if anyone still remembers me

(But I'm going as a faggot troll, thanks to my girlfriend)

>>1246
yyyyos, I'll be there as WV!

Also BLU femspy one of the days, not sure which yet. I am reminded I really need to make some props, bluh.

Bump-a-bump. Looking forward to May, although I'm going to be a desiccated husk by the end of the day if it is even slightly warm. All those damn layers. Sniper would have been a much better choice for summer...
Pic related: It's me and my Solly, who will also be in attendance. Awwww yeeeeeeeah.

I was thinking of going as something non-TF2 related in May

But then, I found something that might possibly knock some hats off

namely, Hats

Everyone likes Hats right? so why not give a load away?

I look forward to seeing everyone old and new in May, I will have Hats to give that, is a promise

>>1264
You're giving away hats? ;W; You are a brilliant man.

>>1247
Amusingly enough, I'm going on the Sunday as Miss Pauling now because Saturday I'm cosplaying as God Tier!Vriska.

>>1261
I like how smug I look there.. and damn you for posting the gay here!

Hopefully this cosplay will be done by I flay away.I AM A FAGGOT HUMP MY RUMP

BROS WE HAVE LIKE A MONTH

r u ready 2 rock.

>>1375
Ready? LOLNO, I need to take the hot glue to my gear. But I HAVE fixed the nade spammer.

CANNOT WAIT, SO EXCITE.

Excited?
Excited doesn't even. FUCKING. DESCRIBE IT

>>1375
READY? NOT ANYMORE.

I now have to get Miss Pauling's purple dress together (which actually helps a lot, since Ma is always boiling.)

looking forward to expo so badly! and we will have a very fun time having 5 of us TF2ers in one hotel room. haza expo!

Non-TF2 cosplayer here, I might stop by and take a look at all your fuckawesome costumes :3

Hey, I'm gonna go as a sucky BLU femSpy on saturday and maaaaaaybe sunday. Still need a skirt tho.
Is there gonna be a meet or something like that sceduled? Or should I just be creepy and try to tag along with every TF2 cosplayer I see there?

Can't wait to see you all there and see your disgusted faces when seeing my first ever cosplay le sob

HO CRAP GUYS THREE DAYS. I AM SO EXCITE. I STILL NEED TO FIX MY GEAR.
>mfw I realise I've left my crotch-smiley at home. Bad times, bros.

>>1576
Because, you know, we ALL have absolutely FLAWLESS cosplays.
I fully expect mine to actually fall apart at some point.

In the process of taking my suit in, finally! I have no props and I fully expect to die from the heat on sunday, agh.

Also I actually have to wear suspenders so I don't look like I have a wad of newspaper stuffed down my crotch because the band is too large and I am lazy. feels noir, man.

Last minute cosplay fail: Bringing back old Miss Pauling outfit. Couldn't figure the dress.

I will however have a gun and a briefcase (no, not the Intel).

Once again: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=186631171370928&notif_t=event_wall#wall_posts
Drinking meet!

>>1587
Pretty much all of my cosplays are held together with safety pins and electrical tape, so you're not alone.

Gear is fixed, but I keep discovering more things I haven't done! Currently sewing a loop onto my plushie sticky bomb so that I can hang it off my belt. Also, I thought I might bring some shortbread.

Aghghghgh so close to finishing my Spyyyyy. I have another cosplay to finish for tomorrow, but it's also really close to being done so I might actually have time to make a revolver/knife! yyyyus

>>1612
STICKY BOMB IS IN POSITION. ALL STATIONS GO, WE ARE READY FOR EXPO.

Except the shortbread. There ain't none o' that.

Thanks for the great time fellas. That was freaking awesome, same time next year?

All you brits have.. BEAUTIFUL teeth.

>>1623
I tried to upload them PI, but they're too big and I lack a PC with resizing software at the moment. Might want to just link to the Facebook album? Or upload them to Photobucket?

>>1654
Resizing the pictures now. With 50-something images to go through this could take a while. Check this thread again in 20 minutes!

Hybrid, myself and my boyfriend.

And the other one.

dem ridiculous faces.

>>1694
Wait what.
I wasn't the only blu femspy with scarf/glasses in there?
What.
What.

>>1700
Yeah, we were on different days. I did femspy on Sunday. :U

If anyone has any queries, My Steam is Jadeica, my DA is Dragonites and my Hipstr is Otherbuttons.

I might go to the next one, but I don't think I'll cosplay tf2 any more for the moment. I'll try to go as Prince Bubblegum with my girlfriend as Marcel Lee.

...this will require dying my hair bright pink.

>>1951
You should pop by and say 'howdy' anyway! It's always nice to see familiar faces even if they're not cosplaying.

However, getting caught in possible roleplay crossfire battles is pretty much iminant.

Hoovy won't be Heavy in October.
I'm getting pretty sick of just being the same old Heavy every time :(

And I never have a gun D:
