I used Acrylic paint on mine and it worked well, but I bet those little pots of enamel would work better

haha, I think we're just trying to minimise the public knowledge of our complete and utter failure to create our promised cosplays in time!

Update on my Lara cosplay: FINALLY managed to find some trousers that seem pretty close to Lara's! Got a top tip from Lisa Marie who told me to look at Matalan for some trousers so I ordered them on Friday and they've come today! So excited! Can't wait to get home and try them on! Just hoping that they fit now...

YAY!!!! Hope it doesn't break your heart trashing them

haha, nah, they were pretty cheap (£12), so once I've worked out what size I am (have ordered two different sizes) I'll order another pair, so I can have one pair ripped and the other pristine!

Very good idea! I forgot about Matalan tbh, I found a pair around Christmas time in there, but they were £14 and I couldn't bear to buy a new pair to trash!

Nice find! So seems you could do clean Endurance Crew Lara and Survivor Lara with clean and roughed up pairs

Thats a great find in Matalan, I've been looking for trousers for a while. I can't see those ones online now, hoping they have them in our local Matalan.

If it's not too personal a question what size are you, as I have a spare pair (UK Size 12) which I need to get rid of as they don't fit me! Let me know and if you want them you can have them for £10!

How far along is your cosplay now Laurie? Most importantly where is the bow up to? My cosplay is still on hold until I get the motivation from my bow! I've had so much going on at home (my sister just had a baby and obviously my new youtube channel I'm trying to get off the ground) that my cosplay is unfortunately the last thing I've been thinking about! Kind of relying on artyfakes to send us some real updates soon on the bow so I cna actually try and get that kick that I need to get started on actually making stuff myself... at the moment I just have no motivation what so ever!

It's been quite a while hasn't it? Didn't you order it well before May's expo? I'm not surprised you aren't motivated to make anything, it is the least of your worries atm (saw your fb post btw, hope you are okay ). Maybe try on what you have so far when you feel like you have the time. I know for me when I thought 'why am I doing this?' I just tried everything on so far, put on my make up and my playlist that I made for while I was working on my costume and that gave me the motivation because I could visually see the transformation rather than a pile of tatty clothes and foamboard .

Yeah we ordered it I think about 6 weeks before MCM, and were told it would be ready in 3 months! Oh yeah I'm fine thanks, it was just the emotions of the weekend with my sister's baby not being very well and people upsetting me at the same time, just got all on top of me! I'm ok now though! I have tried on what I have and that was a motivation for a while, but the thought of all the props I have to make just scares me and I instantly lose the motivation lol! Now I sound like I'm making up loads of different excuses!
