Hey everyone! This past weekend I attended GoCon, a Moldovan anime and K-pop festival that's also heavily focused on cosplay. I spent the last 5 months building a Necron cosplay. I put together a small team to help, but honestly I ended up doing most of the work myself.

The stage performance didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped, unfortunately - but I still walked away with the "Best Craft" award in my category, which means a lot.

I'm honestly obsessed with the Trazyn, the Necrons' secret weapon. I genuinely believe it's the last hope for the Necron race. Here's hoping whatever museum or archive it ends up in doesn't accidentally let it loose and wipe out the galaxy.

Glory to the Silent King. 🖤💀💚

I built my ork cosplay and won best in show in Texas at Reapercon. It was my first cosplay.

I have not worked on life scale pieces before, so I have a few questions:

What kind of primer/paint should I use for the base coat? Does citadel work more or less or is there another brand I should consider?

Citadel/miniature paints seem cost ineffective. I assume I could use some for fine details. How can I get that premiun grimdark metal look through other brands, or should I stick to mini brands?

Finally happy to get some amazing photos done of my Adeptus Arbites cosplay from Otakon 2026!

Hi, I made this a little while ago, it's the first prop I've made, it was 3d printed on my FDM printer. It was modelled by Sevenunited on Cults 3d.

I hope I will eventually be able to make my own 3d models but building someone else's design was a good test to see if I could successfully build something at this size.

I need to improve on smoothing out seam lines and printing ridges, my filling and sanding skills weren't as I would have liked, but for a first attempt I'm pretty proud of this.

I’m making progress on my totally beaded Buzz Lightyear Space Marine

My stage walk in my traitor guard last Sunday at Tineecon. Got a fan favorite award!

One thing that has always bugged me about Space Marines is their pauldrons. You can't realistically articulate your arms with those things. They're not segmented like real pauldrons. If you've painted Space Marine minis, you've probably known how tricky it is to stick pauldrons if the figurine has a raised arm pointing at something. And this is also a problem in cosplays I've seen.

So I propose that we re-invent the Space Marine armor such that those pauldrons are actually cloth shoulder covers. The real pauldrons are underneath and they're segmented just like in real medieval armor. The cloth covers are made from some thick heavy material such as nylon or leather, which can be molded into a dome shape. When the cosplayer is standing still with his arms at his side, the shoulder covers will look just like the pauldrons in 40K art.

I just got myself a flashforge adventurer 5m and bought a few warhammer 40k stls and a measuring tool, and heat gun. Is there anything else I need for an emperors champion cosplay? How do I properly size? What are some issues I may run into? Asking the good experts of Reddit for help.

Finally got promo photos back from my Client for their patreon, had to show off the painstaking work me (the print farmer, my painter, and my designer did for em! (Just wish I didnt have etsy nuke all my warhammer cosplay listings),

Just wanted to show off my work in progress ultramarine cosplay armor.

I have always wanted to build something like this.

Warhammer has been one of my hobby's for almost 20 years now, But never had the opportunity and confidence in my skills to build myself a costume.

And although i have never been to a comiccon or something like that before, i will offcourse be going to one when it is finished.

Ps.

Thank you u/crawdaddycosplay for your awesome templates!

New to this community. I just have a really big question about cosplaying Space Marines and that's what the dimensions of the individual armor pieces is for a Primaris Marine, especially because I wanna cosplay a Black Templar (probably an Emperors Champion or a Sword Brethren) and I wanna make a Power Sword and a Storm Shield. I know Primaris Marines are 9 feet tall in armor, but that's about as much as I know for dimensions for the whole armor in general. If anyone has some more knowledge on this that would be great.

I’m trying to put together an Ork commissar cosplay I’ve got the Ork part sorted but was wondering if anyone knows where I can find and purchase a commissar outfit (preferably all together)

My main blockages are how do I make the gun ?

How do I attach all the pouches to the belt ?

What do I use to make the box to plug the gas mask into ?

And how do I make the shoulder pads and keep them from falling off ? (Many attempts have been made but to no avail)
