Well, we'll see nearer the time. I'm not sure if anyone from this neck o't woods is going. If not, you can both jump in.

You're a star

Really struggling to come up with some ideas for this year. Last years Feegle costumes seem to have bust the bank of creativity in the Stumpy household. I think the wife will have to dream up some ideas this time..... She does have some great ideas.

The group I'm going with are trying to have a costume a day. The masquerade looks like it's going to be Harry Potter themed at the moment, or I may bust out my Riddler costume.

Strangely I've been thinking about this very topic this week just gone. Having discounted a number of ideas - including the Middleman (too obscure?), a costume from Babylon 5 (too difficult to put together) and something from Firefly - I think I've settled on Deckard from Blade Runner. Getting the various pieces of kit I think I'll need seems to be fairly straightforward but does anyone know where I can get a replica of his blaster?

Ed, do what I did and stumble across one that looks uncannily like it on E-Bay then buy it on the cheap and paint it. Compare this to a google image search of the actual gun and it's pretty close:

Count, thank's for that and in better hands I'm sure it would be perfect but, alas, in the words of Dirty Harry "a man's got to know his limitations" and I know that when it comes to crafty things like that all my previous attempts have ended up as deformed messes looking nothing like what I'm aiming for.

I have two ideas, both easy to pull off without the maximum amount off fuss as i have a long journey to get to Prestatyn so they won't be too elaborate.

Here's one that someone made earlier, if that helps?

I looked like Aeon Flux last year. A chubby,tattooed aeon flux. Didnt work , and just looked like a goth.

Zombie this year i think.complete with dribbly oozing bits and bits hanging off.
