A few more photos of my new #Kaladin #costume from last weekend at #oconexpo. I definitely want to add and improve a couple things before getting a proper photo shoot done, maybe at #DragonCon or after.

I'm home from #oconexpo, and I had a blast! It was my first time being a cosplay guest at a con of this scale, and I met some amazing cosplayers and people. First set of photos I'll post is what my booth looked like. I was able to get some banners printed at my day job, and I think they came out great. I also drove from Chicago to Omaha with 3 full mannequins and 4+ full costumes to display. The Subaru was packed to the gills, but we made it.

I'm leaving for #OConExpo in a couple of days, and I was worried I wouldn't have time to build a spear prop from scratch. So I bought a "larp" spear from amazon - made mostly from foam - and upgraded it with a few minor modifications and a paint job. I'm pretty happy with the faux wood grain I achieved.

Last #WIPWednesday before I leave for #OConExpo next week. I am making this bare-bones waistcoat to go under the coat, and it's now done apart from buttons and buttonholes. I might have a chance to finish it tonight, but more likely tomorrow since I have a substantial mid-week run to do tonight. #Cosplay #Kaladin #StormlightArchive

Got some work done over the weekend on my coat. The glyphs on the cuffs worked out really nicely. The buttons are just pinned in place for now, trying to work out the spacing. The only thing I might still add is some white trim to the edges.

It's looking like a coat now! I still have to finish attaching the lining, and add white cuffs and maybe some more white trim. Then lots of buttonholes. I was thinking I would do them by hand, since they look so much better that way, but I am going to do them by machine to save time. I still have a vest, breeches, boots, and a belt to make before July 21.
(Did I mention I'm going to be a guest at OCon Expo July 21-23 at the Mid-America center? I am!) #oconexpo #cosplay #kaladin
