That's cool, but these things can be expensive. I've not met anyone from Star Wars yet and he has been in more of the movies than just about anyone. My other half did get one of my favourite guitarists to do a video message for my birthday and that was cool.
I've never been to a comicon. Were there lots of people dressed up? There was one on in Portsmouth when we were in town and we saw a few costumes.
!BEER
Yeah, there were tons of people dressed up, which is always great to see the effort people put in. It's especially cool recognising people dressed up as niche characters who you wouldn't see often.
Every time we leave an event me and Aimee brainstorm and come up with ideas for costumes for the next one, but then by the time it comes around again, we have nothing prepared. I'm planning a fiend costume, who is a raider gang from Fallout. I have the ideas together; now I just need to gather some material.
That's really cool. Were you expecting that meeting at all, or did it come as a complete surprise?
Yeah, I think he has been in all 9 films, and I'm pretty sure voiced characters in some of the games and animated shows. As well as presenting events, and lending his name to books and other material like that. Out of all the original cast, I believe he is the biggest fan of it and genuinely loves it.
I wasn't really expecting the video message, so it was cool.
I see a lot of cosplay stuff on the 3d printer sites. People have designs for weapons and even armour. I've not made any of that stuff with mine yet. A full suit would take a while.
I have spoken with a bunch of people at those events who say they make their armour pieces, and even helmets with them.
I really want to buy a 3D printer, I design stuff on Blender so would love to get into printing. Especially when it comes to making models/ dioramas.
What one do you have? I was looking at a Bambu Lab one, it is enclosed. Costs about 650/ 700 with the four filament holder on top
I have the Bambu Lab A1, but without the multi-filament thing. I think it's a fairly good deal anyway. Mine has been very reliable so far.
