Almost everything is homemade! Pretty pleased with how it turned out, considering I started putting it together at the beginning of October.

Future steps are to add a glowing element to the chest, make some more accurate pants, and build myself an ax!

It took me a while to get everything just right, but I was going for Martin Freeman's Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit.

Most of the outfit was thrifted and modified by yours truly.

• Jacket: A corduroy evening coat that I altered for a better fit.
• Vest: A tweed vest I found at Goodwill. It was missing all its buttons, so I added new ones.
• Shirt: A white linen, low-collar button-up, also from Goodwill.
• Pants: Brown corduroys from Goodwill that I chopped down into what are basically capris.
• Pipe: An officially licensed Lord of the Rings pipe called "The Rivendell."
• Hobbit feet: 100% natural. I'm planning to shave my back the day before Halloween and repurpose the hair for a little extra foot floof. Waste not, want not.

This is basically my first serious attempt at cosplay, and definitely the first time I've put this much effort into getting a costume right. Lots of thrifting, minor alterations, and figuring things out as I went.

I'd genuinely love some feedback, especially from fellow Tolkien fans and experienced cosplayers. How'd I do?

My X-Men group cosplay that debuted this year at SDCC featuring Gambit, Rogue, Wolverine, Magneto, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Bishop, and Jubilee.

All costumes were handmade and took about 5 months to complete.

Thumb Thumb from Spy Kids (second picture is a still from one of the movies)

I'm back at it with another cosplay project, this time it's a Thumb Thumb from the 2001 masterpiece Spy Kids (although they allegedly also appear in most of the sequels, which I haven't seen)

Because I'm obviously all thumbs, I made sure my 3D printer did most of the important work.

Materials: - Close to 4kg of PLA filament (1kg in the helmet / head thing, 500g each for the hand things, and 1kg each for the foot things) - Red shirt (off-the-shelf) - Red sweatpants (off-the-shelf) - Two red pillow covers and some safety pins to attack them to the sweatpants (I cut a hole in the top side while the bottom side falls over the foot covers) - Heels to reduce my footprint area (second hand) - Ribbons to enable my feet to lift up the foot pieces.

I used a Creative Commons thumb model as the basis for this costume. I had already measured my head with Cosplay Calipers and resized a base helmet design to fit my head using RefMaker, so I essentially just needed to adapt my base helmet to the thumb design.

I ended up printing the front and back parts of the head separate and made them attach and detach using magnets. I recently got my Creality Ender-6 working again, so the 57+ hour print of the front side was a good stress test. Didn't print anything on my Bambu Lab A1 Mini printer this time as the Ender-6's 250x250x400mm print area proved wonderful for my needs. For previous projects, I cut my models into way more parts which made them look less than ideal in the end. Eye holes are made by removing a cylinder (scaled along the X-axis) from the front side, then glueing in a part based on the same cylinder that has square holes made into it. I ended up scaling the eye lattice to be 1mm less wide than the hole for easier fitting.

The hand pieces are almost identical to the head piece, just uniformly scaled where the head uses about a 1.5x relative scale along the y-axis. I added a cylindrical hole for my hands to go in, and cylindrical grips inside those. The hands were printed upside down so I would essentially only need support material below the grips.

For the feet, I once again had to scale the model along the Y-axis. I removed a rectangular prism with rounded corners for my feet to go through and pretty much maxed out my Ender-6's print area (X and Z axes were exact fits to my printing area, I had a little bit of leeway along the Y axis and would have liked even more spare area but I couldn't reduce my footprint more along that axis than I was already doing with the heels). The end result has some truly off proportions along that axis.

I used ribbons I had once bought for a different cosplay project but didn't end up using to create bands that rest on my feet so I can actually walk with the thumb feet (without them my feet would simply go up through the 40cm tall hole, a recipe for disaster). These were glued to the inside of the foot tunnel with contact glue, whereas the front and back sides of the feet were attached to each other with cyanoacrylate glue.

To hide the horizontal platform on top of the thumb feet, I added pillow covers with holes in them for my legs that just about extend over the thumb feet's upper side. I affixed them to the sweatpants with safety pins. It gives the costume an unintended 70s disco vibe, resembling the flared pants of the era, and while it wasn't planned, I love it a lot.

Wanted to try something unusual with this one, so we shot half a set on a very long exposure. The shutter stayed open while the light was painted around me, so the halo, the glowing "wings" and the motion trails all happened right in camera, not in editing

Been working on this costume since July. Was originally going to revisit my Deathstroke costume from last year since I didn't finish the legs, but I told my wife I would much rather actually build the costume I've always wanted to build: the original MMPR Green Ranger costume, specifically based on the Super Sentai outfit (meaning foam shield, no clasps on the helmet, among other things). Helmet is 3D printed and painted, shield and arm bands are EVA foam, and the rest was sewn. The white diamonds were such a pain to get right... Learned a lot from this outfit (both what works and what I should never try again!). Looking forward to Halloween!
