Shecky,

Perfect.  Thanks for the tip.  I have a lot of stuff but this is ideal, so I bought it...  :o

Shecky,

Perfect.  Thanks for the tip.  I have a lot of stuff but this is ideal, so I bought it...  :o

Assuming you mean Serack, the cloth loops on the sides of the amo pouches are designed to hold 1 M67 fragmentation grenade each for a total of 4 on belt with 2 amo pouches.  Here's the only picture I could find on the web depicting an amo pouch with a Grenade in each loop.

This would be an ideal place for extra large cloves of garlic to be placed, or maybe spherical jars of "Holy Water"

Thanks, Serack (oops forgive me I'm rather lysdexic with names)!  Yet another great idea!  I see a new career in your future...Con costume consultant. Now off and looking for authentic looking water pistols, AK47s, Sigs etc!

I've always been creative with designing stuff like that, it's coming up with the initial idea that's usually the tough part for me, and you got that.  Also, I've failed miserably at the actual drawing of stuff.  Currently I'm making a replica of Harry's staff for the Con, and I'm sticking with straight lines for the runes.

That staff looks AWESOME...whoo hoo!  That's creative and that's art...and 3 dimensional, too!  Very impressive.

The initial idea wasn't so hard...I am not blonde and willowy (so that leaves out Molly, Chastity).  I am fairly tall, so that leaves out Murphy.  I am NOT a sex goddess so that leaves out a lot of the Fae and Wampires.  I'm not sultry-ly dangerous, so that leaves out Bianca...but I do have dark hair and dark eyes so that left Susan!

Not bad when you think she was one of Harry's major squeezes...thought the newspaper Susan was boring,

so that left me with the half-vampire guerrilla Susan (and I have a lot of camo attire from running Hunt Tests with my Goldens)!  Damn I am so boringly logically analytical even about a fantasy party costume!  >:( 8)

Thanks for all the help and ideas!! ;D

Heh. I went to NYCC and the fan dinner as Ebenezar... because I'm short, stumpy and bearded. Could've gone as Billy but didn't want to shave the beard. Plus, Eb gets to carry around a big stick and has an excuse to wear overalls. :D

That's how I plan too.  :D  I look for characters that have similar eye and hair color to me so I don't have to worry about wigs or contacts.

I like seeing other peoples' wig work.  I'll admit to never really trying it because I feel I have a weird shaped head, as most things I attempt to put on it fall off.
