I should clarify that paypal holds funds in dispute and will automatically send it to whomever wins claim,,,, so you shouldn't send back money until you are certain you have received the whole whole thing (ie- let paypal make the money return for you, unlike what I did)

I usually sell my cosplays after I get tired of them.

>Sell Yukio to someone for a very generous price on ebay.
>I wasn't having any luck selling it elsewhere.
>They get shipped the cosplay, props, etc
>They file for a return almost immediately
>I send their money back and they ship me the cosplay back
>Only props are inside, no cosplay.
>Confront buyer
>They play stupid and claim they shipped the entire thing.

Apparently this is a common scam on ebay. Ebay only cares if there is a shipping number and a package DELIVERED for returns.

To stop this from happening, note the weight of your package when you send it. If you receive something back which is vastly less in weight, refuse to take it from the mailman and have it shipped back to the returner. That way the tracking doesn't state that it was delivered so you can hold onto your money until they send back the whole thing.

Here is my Soushi
(the white one)
I finished it's year rotation this past season.
It was a bitch to make and a bitch to wear

>No one really cares about the shoes anyways

I overheard a COSPLAY JUDGE saying this

The research lab I work at has a 3D milling machine, and a 3D printer that I routinely use for props.

It's easy mode if you're good at making 3D CAD files.

Our miller will churn out a moderately sized sword prop in about 30 mins (not including time it takes to draft out the file).

However the 3D printer takes a lot longer but does more detailed work.

>Guy who wasnt attending at the bar on his 5th drink getting a little buzzed
>talk it up, he is between busses and something with his wife isn't going well
>Hours later walk outside to put something in my car
>The guy is being pinned down on the ground by a few cops.

Apparently he decided it was a good idea to walk around outside the hotel and pee on the side of the building... on a window... when a children's panel was going on beyond that window.

Oh boy...

>working convention
>have radio
>over hear "TTSSTTT we have report of a narcotic smell in the stairwell, we are sendi TSSST" on the security channel

OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE (fought and got it dropped in court)

I, for one, welcome our new queen

I'm glad that there is at least one trip left that remembers me for my blatant shit-posting and horror stories years ago.

Favaro (Shingeki no Bahabut: Genesis), Keith Shadis, Van Fanel (escaflowne), Martin DaCosta (gundam seed), Archer (Fate Stay/night)

Final Schedule is up!

>2 homestuck panels are during Cosplay pre-judging (friday)

>1 Hetalia panel is during pre-judging (saturday)
>MLP panel during cosplay holding AND contest (saturday)
>Dr. Who panel during cosplay contest

As far as I can tell, your construction is /okay/. But it looks like you might have styled your wig on a wig form that was larger than your head (so when you put it on the wig is too long). Maybe trim it a bit so the wig looks better on your own head.

In the last thread I suggested Amira from Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis. Your face works well for her. Amira's demon form would work really well if you feel like going all out. Maybe even any Rin version (vocaloid maybe).

I'm stuck between a few versions of Watanuki...

Don't tell us what to do.

The floor is large, but the hallways are a bit cramped. The ourdoor area is modestly sized.
However, that my word with a grain of salt because the last time I was there was for Armadillo-con (scifi literature) about 4 years ago.

I do remember that the hotel floor is fancy

Honestly it shouldn't matter. Makeup can go a long way. I'm absolute shit with makeup, but my facial structure makes up (heh) for that.

Plus, you shouldn't be looking for verification on here if you could pass or not. People don't care if you do or not.
Just go out, do it, and have fun.

Nah, I guarantee you that I'm a better cook. Let me do the cooking.

I'll try to go to her panel and film it if I can remember.
