Auckland Armageddon (28-31 October)

[Buzz Bumble]

Haha, good one Buzz.

I always "go" to costume parties and Halloween Trick or Treating as the Invisible Man ... although for some strange reason I never seem to get any goodies in my Halloween bag.

[reelcollectibles]

As per usual, we will be there with The Reel Collectibles stall (#109 if you're trying to find us), and hopefully will get a chance to see outside our 6sqm this year, based on the likelihood that Friday and Monday should be a bit quieter. Looking forward to catching up with those we know and meeting those we don't

If I get up to Auckland, I 'll track you guys down for a beer. Are you taking your clone with you?
I have some spare accessories that you may be interested in
If I don't make it up, then I'll send them South too you.

Be awesome to see you if you make it Phil, it's been too long
... and now you have me curious...

well i can only afford to go one of the 4 days..but i will go in my swtor sith warrior costume.

which day and at what time would be the best to meet up with other starwars costumed peeps?

[mdb]

I have two shotoshoots orgaised for Shae Vizla would love to turn one into a SWTOR shoot insted if you are keen? semiprivate through CNZ so it would be mean on sylvie to add too many but I think it could make for some dynamic poses. Coudln't draag the jedi fro Oz over sadly.
Both around midday-pm and a short block so let me know.. Would possibly prefer for friday as I am still sick ans sat/sun are big days for me.

[vctrsone]

was gonna go sunday or saturday but I can go friday for a photo with you..havent got my leg armour done so might be sith warrior from the waist up...hehe some black pants should sort that tho lol.

il bring my lightsaber along of course too

[Bazzack]

If you can swing an extra $10 you could do Friday and Saturday. Friday is a $10 day, and Saturday looks like it'll likely be the biggest for Star Wars Characters.

In fact if you are willing to use your Sith Saber for good, and act as a body guard for R2D2 during a couple runs around the expo, I could get you in on Friday.
Just PM me.

[vctrsone]

that would be no problem at all. just tell me when to turn up.

give me a pm with your phone number and i can txt when I get there.


also my lovely girlfriend has asked me to ask you all if anyone has a spare fem starwars costume she could borrow? she's like 5'5" and petite. She would take very good care of it.

If not il probably just dress her up in all black with a light saber and she can be my sith girl.

she would do all 4 days in costume with me if we didnt have to pay to get in. (sorry broke at the moment) anyway if more costumed bodys are needed we will be there.

we will go friday saturday for sure now tho.

also i will have 2 spare lightsabers that I could bring or lend to trustworthy peeps who need a lightsaber to finish of there costume..i will have Fullmerge Benzin and Azalus Rulya free for use...be warned tho..they are heavy.

Yeah I'd say Saturday if you only have one day I can always make Friday my solo shoot I'll point Sylvie at this thread and see

I have an Imp Officer. It's well tailored so even if she is smaller than me (which she will be!) it will still look good. She will just need boots that go to the knees Don't matter so long as they look like riding boots as we aren't going for 501st Approval for this one day And i do want the costume back It's lined in linen so is nice and cool to wear as well.
I have had to sell most of my costumes so that is the only one really suitable.


These show the costume is not boring and actually is great for someone who can pull of a commanding pose
If there was time and she wasn't shy I have a petite mold of my Slave Leia parts as I first went for at scale and then to my scale when sculpting My one would be much too big.


Actually are there any planned big photoshoots? In Melbourne they are the big thing. I know the day I was in the Mercs shoot there was another group waiting. Also a lot of Pirates (a really great Jack who make most of his costume and Charlie who is lovely and did the Angelica costume) Ditto for the RL there were other groups waiting. The stairs make a good place to stand for dealing with different height issues

These are Sylvie's shoots as planned for small groups and solos. Mine are under my more common user name (Neimhaille). So if anyone here wanted to orgnaise a big shoot if may be possible to get her and her partner and other photographers together to get a whole big group.

I don't mind putting my hand up as point of contact as I have a second cell phone I can burn through credit on

I am not available at all on Sunday for the contest and most cosplayers will be trying to grab quickie but good photos of their contest costumes. So Saturday may be the day. I am not available from about 3.30pm on as I have to go and get changed for my Exhibition that night and set up there as well and Kristy has offered to help so I am dragging her away then too

Looking at Sylvie's shoots she finishes at 2pm so if members here are wanting a group photo maybe 2.30 and we could maybe bribe Sylvie to be director? Anyone got Star Wars cookies?

[vctrsone]

that looks perfect! and of course we would return it! silly and nah shes too shy for the lea outfit haha. but that officer outfit looks awesome and will be very fitting....swtor sith warrior with imperial officer companion character? haha

she has some black boots that go up to mid calf but they will do the trick.

anyway pm and we can organise it all

[mdb]

If her feet are size 7ish I can loan her the boots I wore this weekend. The breeches only end about half way down the calf you see They have a 6" heel and platform though so that may be a problem?

I'll just need to glue the heels back on as they were worn a bit more than I should have

I will be lucky if I am able to wear anything. I have a really bad tummy bug and I didn't think it would last this long. Much longer and I may be in a spot of trouble.

You can pick it up tonight or tomorrow, I'm out west, more centre west and can PM you the details )
