My mecha cosplay tutorial is completed at last! Compiling this tutorial is very challenging to me as there are a lot of methods and experiences that I want to share with everyone. I hope that I can influence more people to start cosplaying mecha using this tutorial.
Mecha costume making is a way I train my determination and mental tolerance because the process of making it requires a lot of effort compared to most other types of costume. Being in the suit is also quite a challenge where I have to maintain my balance on high platforms and move around with limited vision. In making the costume, I identified three points when one will want to give up. The first point is when the number of tasks involved piled up like a mountain and one will get discouraged by looking at this list. The second point is when one is halfway through the making process and it seems like there is still a long way to go. Without will and determination, one will usually stop at this point. The third point is when the costume is near completion and one has already exhausted him/herself. But he/she finds that there are still quite a lot of finishing touches to be made. When one manages to overcome all the negative feelings and competes the costume, he/she will find great satisfaction as well as an unforgetable making experience.
I hope that everyone who uses this tutorial will find it useful and will enjoy themselves in the making and cosplaying process.

My thoughts after completing my Gundam costume
I completed the Unicorn Gundam Banshee costume finally after I installed the psychoframe lights in the cannon and the head the day before. The Unicorn models (Unicorn & Banshee) really gave me a great challenge and along the way I met up with a lot of obstacles in the making process and in life.
The ...Unicorn models may not have wings or big accessories like some other Gundam costumes I have made, but they are the only Gundams that I found difficult to plan and make. The details are crazy and with the psychoframe lights in so many parts, the mecha cosplay tutorial that I came out with is hardly applicable. With the general drop in qua
My Mecha/Gundam cosplay tutorial is completing
At last I have completed the tutorial for the structure making of a Mecha/Gundam... It will be sufficient for anyone who wants to build a mecha costume. The rest of the tutorial touches on asthetics which may be not useful to alot of people because PVC plastic sheets seem hard to find in other countries.
It has been a tedious process compiling the tutorial which is based on version 9 of my mecha costume making method. I used to have a version 7 tutorial which has the exact measurements for each part...but I guess that will fit my size only and may not work well on others....and I kinda want people to think about the scaling and measurements
I am judging for AFA Regional Cosplay Championship
I am very grateful to Anime Festival Asia ( http://www.animefestival.asia/afa12/index.html ) that I will be judging for the Regional Cosplay Championship this year again and it is an honour to be judging along side with Kaname☆ once again =).
The contesting teams consist of the best cosplayers who won the country finals in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand after rounds of preliminary contests in the various states. It will be an eye opener to see the best perform on the AFA stage. One of the main feature of the competition that I am looking forward to is the video made by the teams to aid their performance.
China Cosplay Event cheated me
The organiser of 中新杯国家动漫园首届COSPLAY大赛 (cosplay.ku6.com) in CHina Tianjin has completely played me out like a fool. They invited me as a guest on 28 Sep 2012 and to judge their cosplay competition on 27 & 28 Oct 2012. I sent my enquiries on 29 Sep and they promise me on 1st Oct the following:
1) Flight and accommodation for me and my assistant
2) other expenses I will incure
3) custom made seat for me to sit down in my Gundam costume
While I am researching more on the event, they sent a 2nd invitation on Oct 4 and I accept their invitation on 6 Oct in the
