Phew, all over until the next time.
Lots of fun. I've got tons of photos to still sort through, but just quickly, here are a few from today.

Fantastic pictures gang. The costumes are spectacular. MDB, your Shae Vizsla is superb! Wish I could have made it along this year.

FYI - I got Matt to take that shot as it's for one of our local rags down here that gives away a free pizza voucher each week for the coolest shot of someone reading their paper. I'll let you know if it wins! (and seeing as Daleks don't eat pizza, I'll have to take care of that part for him)HanSagan wrote:For some reason, that shot with the Dalek amuses me greatly....just checking out the magazine

Re: Auckland Armageddon (28-31 October)
Thank you Daniel Probably the mst fun costume as well with the helmet on. makes it easier to at least look in character and I can randomly pull faces and have no one notice....
What a weekend. Totally shattered. Both good and bad.
I do not give out contact information of contestants but if anyone emails through armageddon.cosplay@gmail.com I can pass on your contact information to the contestants. Best to do so through the gmail account for keeping future records
Also the standard of the contest as a whole grows every year. The winners costumes in particular were an amazing feat in structure, decoration and a wide range of techniques all well done (vacforming, corsetry, gradient dyeing, light up gem casting and wiring..) and there were more great costumes/performances than awards.
Great to be able to actually meet people this year! Even if it was mainly as a bit of a rush through And I wish the three Old Republic costumes were in one place at one time. Sigh.
Though I had seen Kristy's Jedi Librarian Twi'lek in Melbourne I was really glad to see her again in Auckland So very elegant

Re: Auckland Armageddon (28-31 October)
Sigh...sore feet and extremely tired, but really enjoyed the past few convention days. Back to work today
Let me try and re-capture a bit of it with a few more photos.
Here are a selection from the Cosplay Masterclass presentation on the stage, run by and including a couple of SWNZ members (MDB and O.Goota, respectively). I think Jon's TK pulls were of particular interest to our forum populace, during and after the presentation proper.

I heartily concur - the final line-up particularly demonstrates the consistent quality of contestants.mdb wrote:...Also the standard of the contest as a whole grows every year.
