I once used a Kosh (babylon 5) costume at a convention and that was too funny. I didn't see a thing and was lile bumping into other ppl. The best was when i bumped into a Darth Vader and knocked him over ^^. me a 5,7 guy running a 6,4 guy over just rules (the Kosh costume was kinda heavy ).
Shame that i got no pics.

And yes so far your progress looks good.

That is so awesome, I wish I could go as a warrior in gladiator armor. With my gut hanging out.

Speaking of photos, it seems to me like Cosplayers would really need access to good photpgraphic services while at cons... they put SO much work into their outfits, but usually when i see photos they are really blurry or dark (obviously just a snapshot). Does anyone ever set up good photographic equipment at these Cosplay cons? I'd consider bringing up my digital rig to a con and shooting really high-end portraits if people had need of the service...

Now days since most people have digi cams more pics are turing out better.
