After 6 years of contemplating, a divorce, new girlfriend, new baby, a move, being diagnosed diabetic, and more crap than I ever thought I would go throught, I finally got off my butt and decided on doing a cobra costume. I had originally planned on going to DragonCOn with tis, but with JoeCon just a few hundred miles away in KC, I decided to go there instead. I wanted a Viper uniform and stunbled on the 2002 Crimson Viper con figure on yojoe.com and decided to do that version. One small problem with that is the fact that the entire figure is primarily red and I'm not exactly a small guy so I look like a giant tomato. I figured that by swicthing the vest to black, i wouldn't look like a reject from a b-movie. Thanks to Viper_486 at Pit Viper studios, I now have the majority of my uinform in my posession. I will post more pics once the custom red bdu's are finished. Also, the broken heart painted on the L85 was put there as a way to tell my rifle apart from the one the guy who will be going to JoeCon with me will have.

Thanks guys. Len went above and beyond my expectations for this. I am already planning on another costume and having him do the helmet for that one as well. (Crimson Guard Immortal is my first idea) I look forward to meeting with some of you guys at the con.

The costume looks f'n sweet man.
I have a question about JoeCon though and thought I'd ask here instead of making a thread if that's ok... I have never been to any kind of convention before, but this one happens to coincide w/ my family's vacation this summer and there is a good chance we will be going to the K.C. area. I was wondering if there is realy anything to this for non-club members. I see that Saturday is the "general admission" day and I assume that this is where we'd fall in if we get to go. Will there still be stuff for my son and I to do/see/possibly buy? or is everything pretty much done on the other days soley for the members? Thanks in advance and I appologise if this is considered "hijacking" your thread. |
