It's not mine, some guys in Utah did this cosplay. Here's their facebook page:

Going to Comic-Con soon! I dabble a little in cosplay. This Wesker cosplay (original Resident Evil, STARS team) was actually made initially for WonderCon in March, but I'm taking it for another spin this month:

Also made a Barry since this was a two-man group: https://www.instagram.com/p/BHwHPUoBMKB/

And here I am running into a group of Umbrella cosplayers, plus the Redfields: https://www.instagram.com/p/BHwHADEhFvG/

Also...shit. it occurs to me that you all know what I look like now.

Ahahaha, I'm flattered :D

Seriously, though, will try to have way better shots from ComicCon, both for myself and my Barry Burton counterpart. WonderCon was a bit busy and stressful, and really didn't get many pictures.

Here's a couple shots of my kit in better detail, while it was being assembled: https://www.instagram.com/p/BHxRl4RB3dQ/

It was actually pretty hard to track some stuff down, but I wanted to get as close as possible to the character wardrobe. This costume was heavy on research and light on fabrication, but I still had to learn a thing or two.

That's a surplus Vietnam M69 flak vest, collar removed and sewn back shut. Still has the original kevlar inside, so it has a satisfying weight to it.

The original OD Green got a substantial color change with a gray dye mix, and then it was stencilled. Learning to dye ballistic nylon was a research project/experiment in and of itself. Leeching color from nylon also requires a rather nasty formaldehyde compound, needed respirators and gloves.

Barry's vest (a replica, since we couldn't get his size in genuine surplus) had to be color-leeched, then done with paint instead of dyed. Red dye would have turned purple, since we couldn't leech all the color out of the green. We were stuck with a funky baby blue that we had to paint over. Upholstery paint is extra runny, so I would not recommend the experience. Will probably use something more conventional next time.

Now, I said the costume was pretty light on raw fabrication (mostly heavy modding and dyes), but I did get to flex my crafting muscles a bit. I'm rather proud of Wesker's combat knife, which is Sintra plastic cut with a bandsaw, then worked with a dremel and belt sander:

I had long thought about dressing as RE or RE3 (worst zombie fighting outfit ever) Jill. Never have though.

I'm 90% sure I'm going to go to part of New York Comic Con as genderbent!Captain Boomerang from Suicide Squad. I have half the outfit already and can order the rest relatively easily; the only real work will be sewing 'Captain' in varsity letters onto a jacket. Will also need to work some makeup to imitate the cuts/bruises on his face.

Before the actual con, there's two events called Heroes Night and Villains Night. Am planning to dress up as him to one of them, though I'm not sure if I should do it for Villains night (since he is a villain) or Heroes (since the Squad is technically the heroes of their film).

So, Sacanime is next month, so I've put together a TMNT costume. You know how in the 80s cartoon and subsequent live action films, the turtles would disguise themselves with a trench coat and a fedora when out in public? Well....
