/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I pull it off though

> Saturday night at ACEN 2016
> Cosplay as a Battlefield 4 Multiplayer US Assault soldier
> Super legit: LBT 6094a, real SAPIs, Crye ACs, Safariland 6354DO, etc
> In the Hyatt sitting in the lobby having a meetup with other anons from /cgl
> Some girl half my size walks up to me and cuts in
> Talking as fast as she can
>"Excuse me, I've seen you around and your uniform really bothers me." "I'm in the US military and you are wearing your flag patches the wrong way"
> Wearing IR US Flags on both shoulders and am fully aware of this, as the in game character wears them the same way for some odd reason
> Try to explain that it's a cosplay done to model a video game character
> She has an ACEN badge too
> Doesn't seem to get it and nitpicks some more
> Eventually walks off

Later I ran into a guy who claimed to be a former marine in front of the hotel

> "Hey man what is this?! You are wearing your flag patches wrong!"
> Try to explain.
> "Your 40mm bandoleer is wrong too"
> Wearing it around my waist as it should be. How is it wrong?
> He's seems a little drunk
> Grabs me and tries to pull off the patch
> Yo, what are you doing??
> Stops midway and looks around
> "Hey, where did my buddies go?"
> I point in some random direction
> "Oh, gotta go"
> Stumbles off into the night

Come on people. Just relax and have fun.

Going to throw these up again. If you see me, feel free to say hello.

Friday: Battlefield 4 Multiplayer US Assault

>>8995000

I actually have not worn this specific set, though I'll be wearing it for the first time to ACEN. I cosplayed at Con Alt Delete as a standard XOF operator without the mask and tank. I wore a balaclava and threw on some Smith Boogie Regulators instead.

It was a smaller con, but a few people actually recognized me. The con was on the weekend that the new Star Wars movie came out, so people somehow thought I was a Star Wars character.

I'll also be cosplaying as a BF4 US multiplayer assault Class soldier for ACEN (so sorry for being off topic)

Planning to go as a Battlefield 4 US multiplayer assault class soldier on Friday. A little under 2K spent on this one (all mil-spec minus the rubber gun and front triple mag pouch), but still at 80% completion.
