Buy the castle that stood in for Riverrun on Game of Thrones

Ever wanted to live just like a Tully, able to fall asleep to the lapping sounds of the Trident and peering down from your battlements in disgust at the assembled Lannister forces outside your gates? Now’s your opportunity. HBO has used Gosford Castle in County Armagh, Northern Ireland to stand set for Riverrun, and now, a big chunk of it is up for sale for as little as £500,000, or $656,500; they’re taking offers now. custom made cosplay costumes

HBO visited Gosford Castle to film scenes for time of year 3, specifically the one where Robb Stark beheaded the traitor Rickard Karstark; should be a nice memory to wake up to. The castle offers been divided into several sections, one of which was auctioned off at the end of June. Gosford Castle Development Limited is now selling another chuck. It’s already put work into this section of the castle in order to turn it into six luxurious apartments - the Inner Bailey, the Great Hall, the Previous Keep, the Dining Room House, the Library Wing and the Round Tower - each of which has a number of bedrooms and an average of 3500 square ft. As the new owner, you can keep going in that direction, make it a hotel, keep it all to yourself, whatever; it’s your castle. green arrow and black canary costumes

Originally built in the mid-1800’s for the 2nd Earl of Gosford, the castle was designed in the Norman revival style, which is itself modeled on Roman architecture of the 11th and 12 centuries. The Earls of Gosford lived there until 1921, when the treacherous Freys took it for themselves the Northern Ireland Ministry of Agriculture purchased the property and turned it into a park. The castle would go on to be used as everything from a public document storage facility to a barracks during World War II to a resort. And of course as as filming site for Game of Thrones. And now it can be yours. once upon a time costumes for halloween

Tutorial Making the SnK (Attack on Titan) swords

So I'm currently making a 3DMG cosplay set to be a cool kid at local conventions. One thing that really bothered me was how hard it is to make the sword handles.

If you don't remember what I'm talking about, here's a pic of the retarded Mikasa sheathing in her left sword:



The swords are extremely specific and look like nothing I've seen before:

-> They have 2 triggers, 1 lever, and 1 button.
-> The triggers are used to extend/retract the hook
-> The lever is used to fire the hook
-> The button operates the blade locking mechanism
-> They are connected to the hook launchers using gas tubes which themselves contain three gas tubes each
-> They look cool

Of course, like everything comprising the 3DMG, the anime version looks a lot different from the manga version. The anime one looks wowmazing so I'll focus on this one.

---------

Materials required

- a 5mm (0.19685 inches for you Americans) thick wood sheet. I used a 40cm * 80cm (15.748 in * 31.4961 in)
- Traditional woodworking tools.
- Glue. Prefer wood glue.
- A bike brake lever, with a stainless steel look
- Stainless-steel-look spray paint & traditional black acrylic paint. The black paint will be applied using a brush.
- Around 100ml of acetone. Be careful when using Acetone.
- Tissues to dip in the acetone.

-------

We'll start with the basics: the sword will be comprised of 3 "layers". Layers are just wood parts glued on top of each other. The layer technique, while a bit hard to apprehend, is definitely the best way. Carving the handle out of wood requires both time, money, and experience. When adding a layer to the bottom, we will add the same layer to the top of the handle. Given that we're adding 2 layers on top of the middle one, we will be adding the same two layers to the bottom, which leads us to a total of 5 layers, which translated to a 2.5 cm thick sword handle.

The middle layer will contain the mechanism to lock the blades inside. This "mechanism" is in fact just a hole shaped like the blade plug, while featuring the triggers and the button. The next layer will cover the middle one, but without the triggers (to give the illusion that there are actual 5mm thick triggers on the handle). The last layer will feature the "top part" which has two safety locks on the top layer as well as a gas tube connector on the bottom one. The same layer will also have a leather-looking thing to handle the swords correctly without them slipping out of their hands.

This leads us to a total of 7 pieces of wood per handle.

Here is a pic of the parts, printed, cut, and laid out on a wood sheet:



And here is a pic I found of the handles. Print it out:





You will have to carve a hole in the middle layer shaped like the blade plug. Here is my version of the blade plug:



Carve it a bit more: the blade has to to be inserted properly, and therefore be a bit loose while locked inside the handle.




The last pic shows the different parts. Please note this was the mark one, do not apply the paint right now. Please. Also, I completely failed at getting the locking mechanism right, and most parts are cut like garbage. Also, I forgot to cut out the triggers on this one.


This one shows a bit more what it is supposed to look like. The orange part is part of the third layer though.

I have to go sorry, part II will be coming soon.

How do you act when you cosplay?

Depends on the event, and I do usually crossplay, so I try to behave as "male" as possible (it's hard to remember to always walk like a guy while in costume!). If I'm at a con and stopped for a photo I'll definitely strike the correct pose. If I'm appearing in something like a parade, I will do my best to stay in character the entire day. However, if anyone speaks to me at a con or elsewhere, I totally drop the character routine (unless the other person wants to act out a little scene or something). I never get into costume or remove it in view of the public. I prefer to maintain the illusion that the character everyone is seeing is "real". You know, like in the Wizard of Oz..."Don't look behind the curtain!"

The definition of cosplay is literally "costume play," so I feel playing the part (on whatever level makes you comfortable) is integral...otherwise you're just walking around in a costume.

How to choose Disney Cosplay Costumes?

I just saw this thread from cosplay forum.

"I have ideas for a few Disney crossover cosplays but I can't really draw, so I don't know how to accurately visualize the concepts

First is a hunger games style Elsa, but Idk how to incorprorate her design into basically a rugged dystopian futuristic warrior teen.

then there's female Doctor Who Belle.

Belle as Doctor #10.

'Nuff said.

Shadowhunter Rapunzel, because Clary and Rapunzel both love art.

any ideas???"

Elsa is most liked by many people, even the kids love them sooo much.

And of course, there would be many other choice.

If you are choose for kids, the Frozen, the Aladdin, the Little Mermaid, Cinderella,Zootpia , beauty and the beast, and so on.

As long as you can think it out, you could get the supplier to make that kind costumes.
