Isamu's Domain – Where I come to rant and share anything

My progress: http://customgrade.tumblr.com/

Well not right now but you have my word I will. Not just cosplaying some guy with a fancy suit, or a knight in shiny lacquer and pleather armor, not Heavy Arms Custom (one day), or one of the RX’s (for now) but Wing Zero Custom. Now, this is as retarded as some random Battlefield fanboy wanting to be a Fighter Pilot. I’m talking about a Gundam with quite a bit of detail, and wings. BIG. ASS. WINGS. It’s so big it acts as a full-body shield for the Gundam.

Those Wings literally store Beam Sabers, because they're THAT big.

Now, the above is what I’m doing. Along with the beam sabers (no twin buster rifles). I’m doing that, yeah. Well guess what? I have the damn pepakura to make this bastard out of cardstock AND I’m almost done with the head. I’ve taken this thing in knees deep so I can’t go back, I would post my progress here but I’d like to dedicate that blog to mecha cosplay only.

Anyway the link for the progress blog is at the top if you haven’t noticed half an hour ago, but I’m typing as I finish the “ears” and it would be nice to see if you’ll (hopefully) find me at Anime Expo next year with this thing finished and stuck standing for hours. I’m sacrificing my time spent doing other things to get photos taken because I missed getting pictures of mecha cosplayers.

It has died down since I first went to AX, and I want to try making the best cosplay I can to encourage others to do the same. No more box-gundam faggotry, I’m bringing quality gundams (and maybe other mechas) to the table. Because if a procrastinating, inexperienced low-budget cosplay/prop-maker can make a good looking, semi-accurate mecha, then who CAN’T? Seriously, I am procrastinating as, I was meant to be spending this time making the “ears” for the head than type this blog post up. Well, back to work!
