watching I’m over at echo choke on here
in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania today I’ll be
following around Greek gadget guru as we
explore cosplay from over 9,000
attendees behind us we’re going to show
you some of the best cosplay and worst
cosplayed that we saw these are ideas
from overwatch Sly Cooper and of course
the 40 year old virgin if you’re looking
for inspiration for your next project
this is a video to watch and if this is
your first time here hit that subscribe
button we have a lot more videos coming
out without further ado let’s go to the
con so I’m here with your seat Racer and
scarecrow tell us a little bit about
this this terrifying gauntlet here it
looks like you maybe inject your victims
with your your nightmares serum or
whatever they call it
exactly your toxin directly injected the
build itself is made primarily from just
craft foam you get at Michael’s 3/4
thickness and then the 1/8 thickness
I’ve got just some little piping and
tubing that you can usually pick up at
Home Depot that’s primarily here but a
lot of these little tiny pieces are
actually made from Ziploc takeaway
containers that have been traced over as
the pattern and then fitted with the
craft foam over it we give the block
likes to the plastic taut or they’re
just a little plastic takeaway
containers like teeny tiny thin that’s
right so they give a good base to him
then you just put the foam over top to
keep any because that’s a foam and then
you kind of made a layer so it’s a
little bit more durable exactly so it’s
just a spray paint layer usually with a
pounded metal I use two different colors
for it as the base layer but then any of
the dry brushing I’ll use dark to make
any of the deep spots pop I usually go
in with white or a very bright silver
along the edging just to give it kind of
more of a run look and then rusting any
other just little things to make it pop
and give it a more dimension than being
flat where’s your where your guns this
is where you put your like
want you little pistols yeah I don’t
have the pistols today Oh bummer
well I really like this your little
thing how did you get this glowing is
there some sort of light going on it
yeah there’s like a little panel light I
think they’re from like et light I’m not
I don’t really remember exactly where I
got them but yeah it’s a little panel
light awesome and then what about the
jacket that looks pretty cool is that
something that you yeah I actually I
bought it on sale at Burlington Coat
Factory
oh yeah and then I got some leather
paint and I painted it over out of the
details patches awesome we’ll see what’s
up what do you have going on back here
okay so this is like her another one of
those things I know this is like what
helps her kind of have that boosting
effect right awesome yeah thank you
yeah I just got them from like you have
something in common to those except like
everyday is cosplay for him so he is
always wearing the Hat my god yeah so
what this is is it PVC pipe and dowel
rods going straight out to make for the
wings and all the feathers are basically
poster board and craft foam over it the
wings are the patch of micro
I said she made it so it’s easily
detached maybe afterwards I can take it
far and then what kind of hyper about
people you use for like this regular
paint
it’s EBE comes with the brought over it
and then it’s painted and I just drilled
holes for the Redis oh that’s so cool
how like I use the PVC muse it’ll I see
what you’re talking about yeah and then
what did you use to make this kind of
like harness that’s it’s also PVC pipes
you heat it up you know this right here
my name is Emily Gilkey Emmylou on
social media and I do my own version of
Rey from Star Wars so what can you tell
us about this
I made this in about two hours on
Wednesday night well I didn’t decide I
wanted to do this until earlier this
week and then I said something people
would know who I was about a staff so I
went to the local hardware store I got a
6 foot cut of 3/4 inch PVC piping and
then just you kind of go through the
little PVC brackets section and pick out
all the whole pieces that you like so
like these are just PVC plumbing pieces
they just having a quick texture it
looks like it’s found objects so these
cones are actually plastic shower heads
that I gutted and just used the cone I
had to Dremel them to make them bigger
to fit the pipe is this dress too to let
layers of foam that I hot glued together
because I didn’t have anything to make
fins out of because I would go and I was
like 3/4 is everything and the night
about this yeah exactly
and then this is just corrugated
plumbing piping that it’s just
corrugated tubing that you buy I just
use them like one of those metals
textured spray paints and then dusted it
with silver I tried to get the
proportion but I have more time I want
to fix it but like I said I made it this
week I’d rather go maps and leather this
is just no belt yeah I love it
all right thank you so much
[Music]
my name is Laura I’m from Pittsburgh
South Pacific
it’s like uber I did not bring this down
and it’s pretty packed in here so
I didn’t want to poke anyone’s eyes can
you tell us about your possible is your
favorite part
apart well there’s two one of them is
he when people have
decide to go big or go home actually so
cotton and polyester didn’t lose its
and when someone steps on it
it’s a but it’s still kind of a fun time
well when I looked at Sai Cooper’s
design I noticed he entered really wide
space and I wanted and I wondered if
that might be my cosplay so this is
actually made out of pink parkour do
find a cereal box and two sides of the
curve so that on the back
and actually glued to my
to the mass and
actually while I put this on I had to
pick a hot glue gun
[Music]
so it’s a little bit scary but it’s
certainly worth it and I haven’t burned
myself yet
yeah you’re only putting hot glue on
next to your face yeah all I get is a
blister thank you so much I’m glad we
lovely day to you all and if anybody
asks you didn’t see
[Music]
I’m Seth Thompson and I come from
greenville PA I built this which I’ve
actually dubbed the game night as like a
little clever nuance and it actually
started with the shoulder pauldron
because I went through several PS ones
because they all just for some reason
like to reset for no reason and I had
this one just just the cover and I
wanted to do something with it and at
first it was small project and then one
thing after another just I started
watching videos on how to do armor
smithing and I came and made this I have
the favorite part
I’d have to say specifically it’s just
actually more so the shield shield yeah
they just especially like the trimming
around it because I wasn’t very sure on
like coloring and whatnot and I just
kind of winged it on like maybe like a
tribal kind of paint job to it so and it
just got wet from there did you grow the
mustache for the costume I’ve actually
naturally had the mustache the entire
time thank you
