I've just gotta watch the sheckles, but I will keep an eye out for one.

Oh, here's the latest fixer-upping I've done with my NERF Longshot.  And yes it still fires the foam darts :P

What about a darker/paler green similar to the mask?

The problem is that it'll cost me a chunk of coin for something to only wear once and I've already searched our huge Value Village in town for something to use... nadda.

Regardless I think the outfit is looking great... I wanna use the MARPAT for it though :P

Thanks guys, keep the comments and suggestions coming :)

The people have spoken.

Beach Head it is!

Here's a test shot, on the right track?



I was thinking about using the new marine MARPAT for the pants and trying to source out a green shirt to wear instead of the black, but as it is I like the direction it's going.

Also I have a NERF Longshot that's painted up black and OD Green and it has a video camera mount, will make for some interesting/fun video :P

Beach head will be cool but it will be awfully hot under the balaclava

Well last year I wore black head to toe with a facemask of the same material, but also with additional mesh material covering the eyes with the visor.  With Beach Head there will be more ventilation than the other mask as well as more skin will be exposed (example sleeves rolled up, no cloth gloves) allowing much more airflow :)

Looks like Beach Head will be the costume of choice and I'm waaaay cool with that. :)

Maybe I should find a way to bring my Aliens Colonial Marine armour and M41A Pulse Rifle instead :P

I am still trying to source out a cheap toy or stuffed parrot for the shoulder, that is likely to be a huge deciding factor in what I choose.

It would be the classic version of ShipWreck if I do it, however I am personally edging closer to going ahead with BeachHead. :)

Yearly CanJoeCon Discussion / Costume choice? THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN! and I am bringing 2 !:D

Ok I thought it would be an idea to run a separate thread vs. the general question one for the show.  As some may know I have on occasion made a costume or two, including stuff from GIJOE.

So what should I do this year?

a) Snake-Eyes (again)
b) Beach Head (I have all the gear again)
c) ShipWreck (won't have the bird but I can piece together the rest)
d) Firefly
e) one of the above
-or-
f) make a suggestion and if there is a general consensus I'll try to run with it.

Just lookin' to have a little silly fun in the process, looking forward to May 2nd :)

EDIT - though I appreciate the effort in posting a poll, I can NOT do two costumes as I have already mentioned due to logistics... I will consider the votes posted in replies over and above selections in the poll.

I thought of a couple other places but they're pretty much dead for activity.  Cheers!

Gotcha. We're actually working that out right now.


For kids under 10 - it's free. FREE.

Adults, it will be $10.00 for a basic admission pass.

And we're working out the perks, but a VIP pass will be $15.00.
 
More on that shortly. As I said, we're working it out right now. ;-)


Just so I can get the word out, can I quote this along with the link you posted just earlier?

CRAP!  I can't find my green mask for BH and it's off-season at the surplus shop and they don't have any more in stock! :(

Oh well, I will be bringing a costume regardless so it's all good.

So, I was hoping to post about this event in a few places I frequent, can I get a round of definite info (ex, cost?) to post?

Just direct them to www.canadianjoecon.com my man. ;-)

Yes, BUT what about how much will it cost?  That's the obvious question people are going to ask.  I understand there is a level of discussion going on so could you give me the highball number so that the answer might be to post "price is about ##, but it may be reduced a bit..."  I just don't want people to get the wrong info and people POed that they didn't get the right info the first time.
