I don't even have the costume designed yet, but I'm thinking about steampunk weaponry. I'm thinking a gas gun.








The "handle" is this with very little modification other than paint. The backpack will be much harder to find parts for. Any idea where to find a clear plastic tube over a foot in diameter?

For tingirl, here's my idea for the wagon-hat. n_n

Shipping/packaging stores, or framing joints, maybe. Big ass tubes are used to ship things like posters.

Also, we still going as Oregon Trail? 'Cause I'll die of dysentery, you just try me.

Defnately. I was meaning to email you to make sure before I start, but I figure I can make a hat between now and Animefest. Are we doing just hats, or other stuff too? :)

Hats only would be strangely awesome..

I do think hats only would work pretty well-- I can make a headband of tombstones for my black top hat, we could do headbands for Brett and maybe Jason (who, of course, will have killed all the animals in the area). Atma, if he'll be there. I just need to find some screencaps so I can get the font right. Because I care, for no good reason at all.

I would totally wear silly hats with you guys if I wasn't going to dragoncon that weekend. <.<;

....I should totally check reference art, yes. But I've been thinking about how to make a wagon hat wearable...

TVtropes, of course, has links and such.

...Maybe wear the hat like a sun bonnet? With wheels?

I must draw that now, I think.

...of course it does. But so does Google, and then I won't loose the rest of my evening week trying to escape that site. XD

If I do the straw hat, I can get toy oxen for the brim, maybe? Also, I want to see that. n_n
