Hmmm, very cool I may have to get a cobra commander costume one of these years myself but I'm still enjoying the hell out of my Darth Vader costume.

Thanks CB!

The wall nearest the bathroom is one one of the only places where the light is really good.

I sent you a PM about it...well sort of, it was kind of a Star Wars in general message but never heard back so I just thought you were busy with your real life stuff and all us nut jobs on seibertron :P ...I looked in to it briefly but it's been on the back burner for a long time as I'm still recovering from my knee surgery nearly a year ago.

Do we know if they're going for the glass face look, the blue hood look, or the Sigma six amalgam look for the movie?

Good work on the costume. I'd say just for fun, wear a starscream mask underneath and see if anyone gets the reference.

Somebody sure likes the dressup thing don't they? :P

Seriously though, if I had some of your sweet costumes and accessories, I'd love it too!

It is a good break from reality to put on a costume and entertain others.
Like therapy.

Although at the rate you make costumes, therapy might actually be cheaper.

Heh.. The most expensive part of the CC was the helmet.
The boots and gloves I use with my Imp Officer, the belts and belt pouches were relatively cheap.
And my wife made me the pants, shirt and dickey.

Now if I paid someone to make me the costume, I would have spent somewhere around $300 to $400..

Someone on cobra cares has that suit and they said it is not worth the money they are asking.
There are so many inconsistencies with that costume it is not funny.
I considered getting that before I asked my wife to make mine and was told to stay away from it and do not spend the money.
Besides, there is so many costume tutorials to use and so many people that can be asked for help when making costumes now.
