I think I might just get it. Maybe it looks fashionable enough to even wear normally if it doesn't suit the outfit completely

It's one of those tops to wear in a coffee shop, looking intelligent, sipping your soy half strength latte, extra shot . Don't see why it shouldn't be okay for Pierre!

Ok the trousers have now turned up. I think they'll be fine though had thoughts they might have been a little better in a dark khaki. Can't wait to get the final pieces to see how it all looks together.

The picture there makes them seem more yellow than they really are

Nope, I bought them. But took a while to find the right ones

Amazing! Love the holsters, did you make them yourself? Nope, I spent time searching and found them on ebay. Cost me £10 each, though one is slightly smaller than the other

Amazing! Love the holsters, did you make them yourself? I was about to say the same; They look near identical, and as DrCroft said, I thought you made them.

Ebay, how did we live without it?!

The pistols arrived today. They are a perfect size and like Lori and Jay's they are quite orange

The idea was to paint them. Well that was until I saw this... Now I'm unsure what to do. Leave them as they are or take a risk and paint them? Do I paint them and leave the caps bright orange to keep them looking like fakes? What do other cosplayers do?
These came from the same sight as recommended to Lori for replica style pistols which is linked in her cosplay post.

I had the same issue when I read that on the back, and I think it should be fine if you keep the tips orange... I don't see how that should be a problem...

It's what I'm thinking. Pretty sure most others I've seen at expos are painted. They are perfect though size-wise. Now to decide on black or silver

As long as you leave the tips orange, I don't think there would be any problems. I've never been to a con but on all the videos and pictures etc non are orange or yellow or blue! So I think if you just use some common sense and only put them in your holster when you are inside the expo then you should be okay . I'm sticking mine in my quiver while I walk across the road from the hotel .

I'll have my bag which I'll leave in the TKE booth. Will store them in there when not needed.
