I still want to do some detailing but I'm super happy with my first attempt at 3d printing a helmet. I will be making the rest of the armour, but getting Davy ready for competition will be a priority.

When you start working on a cosplay and then a new game comes out and you change your plans. That's what happened when Helldivers 2 came out.

Two cosplays I wanted to do, Captain Rex from Star wars, and Steel armour from Skyrim. Why not combine into one costume? Got a lot better at making foam armour comfortable to wear.

Critical Role! I wanted to cosplay someone from @criticalrole.bsky.social for so long, why not choose the small robot man with no legs? Paired FCG with Chetney, the werewolf carpenter.

The top hat was fun to make.

This was a big one for me. I spent most of 2021 working on my Project Ebon Blade cosplay for Thrall. Programing lights, foam work, using worbla for the first time.

Not a lot for 2021. I was in the middle of working on my next big cosplay and the main con for the year was cancelled. Did manage to throw together a simple Kratos cosplay.

Another character from @vivaladirtleague.bsky.social The famous Greg the Garlic farmer. Nice to do a comfy costume every so often.

I redid my Lex Luther in 2020, based off of his armour in the fighting game Injustice Gods among Us. Fun build and I loved working with LEDs and learning audino, not so fun to move in.

Finished off 2019 with classic comic book Joker, big fake chin and all. Trying to get better with makeup. #cosplay #dccosplay #joker

After my last previous attempt at the cosplay competition, I wanted to up skill. Brought a bunch of tutorial books from @kamuicosplay and started to get into crafting with EVA foam. My first build being Skyrim Branded Iron armour set.

I won a costume of Flynn Ryder from Tangled. Took them over 2 years to get to me. Came with a bunch of pouches which were really handy.

In 2018 I entered the cosplay competition again with a Moria Orc from Lord of the Rings. A super fun build made from foam and paper-mache. Also using a full face prosthetics which brought it all together.

My last one for 2017 was Baelin the Fisherman from @vivaladirtleague.bsky.social They were attending the con as guests so got a chance to meet a few of them.

I updated my white walker cosplay with a mask and gloves and added more details to the armour. I also created an ice spear.

My first time using SFX prosthetics was with Voldemort, I wasn't very good at blending yet. Also made a super handy cloak which I could use for a bunch of other costumes.

In 2017 I did a rebuild of my Jaffa Serpent Guard, a massive improvement on the prior one.

This is a costume of my own design. I love all the wicked leather armor the Larpers wear, I didn't have access to leather so made it out of lino.

No one cosplays like Gaston. A simple costume I wore to a few events. Got quite a few cosplay friends around this time and was nicknamed Gaston for a short while.

In 2016 I did my first attempt at a White walker from Game of Thrones. I made horns and cheeks out of clay, using spirit gum for the first time.

In 2015 I didn't really know what I was doing. Tried to make a Lex Luther cosplay. It was very difficult to move in, and was falling apart by the time I got inside the con. A learning experience.

In 2013 I made (with a lot of help) my first cosplay. A Jaffa from Stargate SG1.

In 2014 I upgraded it to a Serpent guard armor and entered my first cosplay competition. It was great being recognized by other fans of Stargate.
