Thanks for the information guys! I'll check it out.   :thumbsup:

oups sorry, I meant Darkshade, the black clad ninja.
I saw your 4 movies and read a few pages here and there.
I own the 2nd and 4th movie.

Well for all its worth, you have a fan right here.
I you had a few "planche" scanned, I'd be delighted to check 'em out

 :thumbsup:

Thanks for the interest in my work, I appreciate it. If you're interested, a friend of my owns a comic book store where he has most of my stuff on consigment (Studio 9, 5835 Saint-Hubert, Mtl, near Rosemont subway station, tel.: 514-272-6043).

As for having a few "planches" scanned I don't and they probably wouldn't scan well anyway since I use a very light pencil (4H) so that I don't have a hard time erasing the pencil lines after I'm done inking. I'm hoping to find the time to ink the story in the next couple of years and publish it in a special issue of my friend's old fanzine where he ran several of my series in years past.

Thanks again.  

Hey, I have pics of you and your wife on my site?  Point out the pic (copy/paste the url here and give me a heads up) so I can put face to a name

I think I'll pass, first, the picture I'm on is a group shot and you wouldn't recognize me that much with the costume and second it's not my most flattering look (my wife had made the costumes for competition before we got married many years ago). We had a lot of fun doing the presentation on stage but people still remember me from that silly outfit. Man, I even remember the stupid song (we had rehearsed that much). She's in another picture along side you, however, as Vansen from SAB.

I haven't posted to that  costumer site much lately, but when I do, it's under my website name of 'neoengel' ... I shoulda just stuck with 'Sid".  
I never got told not to do my costume, however there was a debate that popped up about doubles over there.  I flatly told them that I do the costumes I like and encourage others to do the same.

I didn't see the posting which I assume are only visible to members. That and I didn't know about your other user name. I agree with your point of view, we do these costumes for fun and everyone definitely should make the one or the ones they're interested in even if it's been done by others. That said I might make a TigerClaw costume (even if SnakeEyes as always been my favorite character) because I don't feel like making a costume that others have made much better than I could afford to make, time-wise and money-wise. that and I have the figure as a reference and found some fabric in the kaki/green color the character wears (I just don't like the orange so I might switch it to red as a personal preference) and because I've never seen anyone make that costume before and the character is still a ninja (always liked ninjas).  

I met a few of the people you mentioned in person at DragonCon where I saw that awesome C.C. '82 costume (I almost wanted to check out the back for the semi-backpack thing there his blaster connected)

I had forgotten about the action figure having that backpack thing to hook up his blaster. That jugged my memory.

Thanks for the response Sid. We might see each other at T-Trek next year. My wife and I are thinking of going. I'll try to have that TigerClaw costume ready. So, if you see that character (along with a tiny 2 year old double) that should be me.  

Is anyone into costuming? I'm a new member and from what I've seen in some discussion threads and several topics it looks like nobody seems to be (except Sid with his cool looking SnakeEyes and StormShadow costumes). I have a few costumes left from the time I was doing amateur feature length action videos based on some of my self published comics influenced and inspired by my love for the G.I.Joe series of toys, comics and cartoons and I like to wear some of those costumes at conventions (like Toronto Trek and Anime North where a lot of people like to make and wear costumes inspired by their favorite characters from movies, TV shows, comics or other). I've done that from time to time just to show them off and have fun. I look at those conventions as big Halloween parties. However it seems I might be an odd ball in this group. Is there anybody else who made a costume of his or her favorite G.I.Joe character? I'm thinking of making a Kamakura costume sometime just for the heck of it. I even got enough fabric to make my young son a matching costume. I'm still toying with the idea.

Dude!! You the Delta Squadron guy right? I own two of the movies and they are really cool.

Welcome aboard!

Yep, that would be me. Glad you liked the two movies I made, I assume it's the first two, which means you know what happened to my old G.I.Joe collection (gone up in smoke, litterally...). Got a new collection but it's mostly 1/6 scale. Thanks for the welcome!    

Hi, I'm a new member and been a Joe fan for a long time. Played with the big figures as a kid, got hooked again with the introduction of the G.I.Joe team back in 1982 with the new line of small figures, comics and cartoons that followed, etc... I'd like to know a little more about the previous and coming event because I'd be interested to attend but want to know more about it. I only saw some pictures about the wrestling video game and mention of that, card games and viewing of old G.I.Joe cartoons at the last event. Are pictures taken at the actual event available? I'd like to know what the place looked like to give me an idea of what to expect the next time. I have a son who's just about a year and a half so I might want to bring him along in the coming years so I need to know that this event is kid friendly or at least that there are no restriction to bringing your child along. Is there a dealers room? Are there activities like mascarade competitions, model/diorama/illustration competitions or exhibits for members or special ghests, panels on Joe related topics, that sort of thing? Please let me know. Thank you.
