So, me and Jay are finally (after much "encouragement" from other cosplayers!)taking the plunge into cosplay! We've decided to go as Roth and Lara to the MCM Expo at the end of May... I'm just hoping we're able to get everything ready in time! We'll be posting all our updates here, like photos of our purchases and items we've made etc, just in case anyone wants tips on how to do (or not to do!)things! Wish us luck!

Even more purchases... well I've just paid off the credit card so I might as well get back into debt! I should point out these were all recommendations thanks to the amazing Jerri! And the props I bought from the following sites: Pick AxeGuns

Our guns turned up today! Can't believe how weighty they are for a fake! So pleased with how quickly everything's being delivered although I know I'll have to wait a while for my axe... In the meantime, I will be looking into how to paint these to look for realistic and weathered... any tips of helpful comments would be more than welcome!

Thank you ! It is very cosy here, I'll try and pop in a little more often! Mine isn't quite as swanky as yours but I am amazed what can come out of a £2.50 piece of foamboard
