So the last few days i´ve been working hard to get my outfit and smartgun ready for the dutch comic con. Itś very much inspired by Drake but with its differences. Im sourcing the parts for a headset but knew i wouldnt get them in time, so the night before i made an eye piece and camera attachment. the paint dried overnight and I was ready to rock at the con. Pretty excited to be dressed like that since usually im quite low profile.
At the con there was a prop weopons check and i was told that my gun was almost to convincing to let me in. So in hindsight im glad i didnt make and bring an converted airsoft or deactivated mg 42. Later that day i met a joker whose handmade tommygun was confiscated. Yikes very tight rules regarding replicas here in the netherlands,
But once inside I had such a good time, I met the dutch 501st star wars garrison, the ghostbusters division (who were al decked out in Nickatron props, looking great) There was a batman stand, a harry potter fan table but no alien/marine or predator to be seen. Most youngsters (said the 32 year old
) didn´t recognise the outfit. Umbrella ? (resident evil) was a much heard guess. But the ones who knew aliens were very friendly and complimented my build/costume. Lots of of photos with kids, so that was cool. And then I spotted a Vasquez and next to her a Ripley
I did get to speak to them for long but we made some nice photoś.All in all I hade a very nice day and for my next con Iḿ hoping to meet up with fellow marines/aliens/predators. So Germany here i come
