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:

This costume was heavy on research and light on fabrication, but I still had to learn a thing or two.

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.

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:
