As any Tank Girl fans out there will know, our gal can often be seen wearing customised army helmets. They’re a super fun accessory, so I decided a few months back to have a go at making one. I started off by picking out a couple of ones I liked in the comics (see above for an example) and worked out a design. There were a lot of sticky out bits, so I had a feeling putting it together was going to be easier said than done, but I’ve never let that stop me before and didn’t this time. I could have taken the easy route and bought a plastic helmet, which would have been soooo simple to attach things to, but me being me, I decided to go with something authentic, namely (and I quote) a ‘genuine vintage Bulgarian army M72 steel combat helmet’ which was going cheap on good ol’ ebay 👍👍. I was totally expecting to have to drill holes in this for some of the attachments, but as luck would have it, there were some readymade ones 😊. These are the other bits I used…

1 x plastic creature head – I was looking for something which resembled the head on the attached reference picture and stumbled on something perfect while rummaging through a box of random toys in a thrift store.

1 x neodymium magnet – Used to fix the creature head onto the front of the helmet.

1 x dart – To stick in one of the holes. My only complaint here was I had to buy a pack of 3 and don’t know what to do with the other 2. Maybe I can use them in some future cosplay project.

1 x wooden rod + craft feathers + 1 x plastic wall plug – Used to make an arrow to poke in another of the holes. I had to make my own arrow, as none of the ones I saw for sale would have fit.

1 x kitchen fork – Another thrift store find which looked like it would be a good stand-in for the knife in the picture if I chopped the top off.

Some straps and buckles from an old bag – Stitched together to make a carrying strap for the helmet (which I needed to hang things off).

3 x old bullets for decoration

Some bits of leather to make a bandolier type thing to hold the bullets.

1 x old cigarette box for decoration.

1 x gun keyring – This was an impulse thrift store buy, which wasn’t in the original design, but I thought would be another good decoration (there were actually so many impulse buys like this I couldn’t use them all and ended up making a Tank Girl baseball cap for the overflow – more about that another time).

One of my old teddy bears (Flapjack) to hang from the knife (really a kitchen fork) handle.

1  x old white shoelace to make a hangman’s noose for my teddy (poor Flapjack 🎻).

Acrylic paint and brushes - I’m sure y’all can guess what these were for.

1x target sticker – I bought this in a craft store, because it looked just like the target on the helmet in the picture and I wanted to save myself a tricky painting job.

It took me a while to get all of that together (as you can imagine), but eventually I was ready to go. I eased myself in gently by sticking on the target sticker. Then I did the painting bits. I seem to be getting better at this, as I managed to get through it with no major screw-ups😊. I left the paint to dry for a day and sprayed on some fixative to protect it. It seems to be doing the job, though I have no clue how long it will last.

I made my arrow from the bits mentioned above and sawed off the top of the kitchen fork to make my stand-in knife. Then I worked out how I was going to attach everything. As I said, I used a magnet for the creature head. I stuck the arrow into one of the holes and the dart into another with a plastic bung on the other side to hold it in place. For the knife, I pushed a long screw through the last hole and screwed it into the top of the handle. You can see the screw from some angles, but it was the best I could come up with and it does the job.    

I hung Flapjack from the knife handle, clipped on the carry strap with its various decorations and that’s pretty much it. It’s not a bad take on the Tank Girl originals if I do say so myself, though it takes some getting used to. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bashed one of the sticky out bits on something when I’ve been walking around. Also it’s heavier at the back, so it has a tendency to slip off. As always, this isn’t a proper tutorial, but maybe it will be helpful if anyone out there is thinking of making their own Tank Girl helmet. Have fun if you do. I’m on Ko-fi if anyone is feeling generous and wants to support me in my cosplay adventures… ༻ko-fi.com/christabelq༺ It’s always super-appreciated. Bye for now. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I went along with @kayla_karma and @papercube to see them work and he took some shots for me too I was so surprised, I really didn't think any of them would come out well cause I was so nervous and unprepared but they turned out so stunning. 😭😭 I wanna cry they're so beautiful. I'll post them through the week.

Posted @withregram • @mindifislytherin *Non cosplay post* During MCM weekend, I knew @t22felton was in theatre. I did try get a ticket to see the show but sadly couldnt. But I thought hey let's try stage door anyway. It had been years since I had been on his documentary and the documentary that changed my life and still has an impact to this day. I was stuck in my Eileen cosplay from Silent Hill 4 because it was the most normal clothes I had. And shortly after this photo Tom was like "sorry I accidentally poked you in the b00b" which you can literally see in the photo 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Was so good to see Tom again, hopefully can again soon and maybe have a proper catch up/interview (one can dream!) But yeah. 8 or so years on I believe since the documentary 🥺💚 (I made a YouTube video about my experience if you never saw it, go check it out!) #dracomalfoy #harrypotter #slytherin #luciusmalfoy #ronweasley #hermionegranger #harrypottercosplay #tomfelton #cute #kawaii #makeup #cosplaygirl #hogwarts #celebrities #ukcosplayer #blonde https://www.instagram.com/p/CeXp7weKVND/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I imagine whenever the league look cool for about five seconds that it’s the same issue as herding cats where none of them are actually paying attention to what they’re supposed to be doing. Except Hawks who is super used to needing to look cool and pose and everyone mocks him for it. Ain’t no way a guy wearing safety glasses looks cool!

Anyway, this set of photos is called ‘the League tries to look cool and what happens immediately after’, please swipe you won’t regret it.

Hello,

I’m Luke- I’m a Star Wars obsessive and Cobb Vanth cosplayer from the United Kingdom.

Before I started cosplaying my enjoyment of Star Wars was very solitary and private.

I started cosplaying in October 2021 and through going to cons I have been fortunate enough to make a plethora of incredible and creative friends who unashamedly love what they love in a way that I have adopted that has changed my life.

Now my partner and I are active members of the community and have met other fans from all across the world and shared our love for these silly goofy space wizard stories.

You can follow me on Instagram at…

Hey, It’s another of those posts where I jabber on about costume design for a while💬💬. This time I’m focusing on my Tank Girl baseball cap. I didn’t do enough with this for it to need a tutorial ,but there are a few features I want to highlight, because I think they’re pretty cool. Unlike most of my Tank Girl stuff, it isn’t based on anything in the comics or movie. I bought the hat itself because it was going cheap in my local army navy store and decided to customise it because I had a bunch of stuff left over from my Tank Girl helmet project🪖 (see earlier post).

The first improvement I made was to fix a strap and plastic slider to the back. This was partly to make the size adjustable, but mainly because I wanted something to hang stuff from. The process was simple and just took a bit of sewing. Once I’d done that, I sewed on a couple of patches as well – one with a target on, because as any Tank Girl fans will know, that’s kind of her trademark, and a flower, just because I like flowers.

Then I spelt out TANK with letter cubes on a chain and added this. I bought a huge bag of these letter cubes a while back, but annoyingly, there were no Ts, so I had to modify one of the I cubes to make the word I wanted. Next, I pinned on some badges and also attached a few old toys which I picked up in a thrift store.

The final addition was a toy tank. This was another thrift store purchase and was in pretty bad shape when I got it. Parts were messily painted, other parts were worn and the wheels were busted. I was going to hang it on the hat as it was. Then I remembered how sick the tank in the TANK GIRL movie looks and thought it would be cool to make the toy one into a little replica. I stripped it down to bare metal with some nail varnish remover (which I always have plenty of), and fixed the wheels with some trusty super glue (I use Gorilla myself, though as I’m not getting any sponsorship money from them, I’d like to point out that there are other brands available). Next, I sprayed it matt black. Although it’s only small, this took a couple of days, because I had to let one side dry before I could turn it over to do the other one. In the time between, I rewatched the movie to check what the real tank looked like (which I enjoyed immensely as always). The paint job was too complicated for me to have copied exactly on such a small toy, so I drew a simplified design to work from. Then I got to work painting and was surprised by how well it turned out. As I say, the pictures on it aren’t identical to the movie ones, but I definitely think I captured the spirit of it. I just wish it was big enough for me to do a photo shoot with and take out for spin. What can I say… me 💜 tanks.               

I’ve already posted a few pics of me wearing the cap and will be posting more soon. See them here or at 👉ko-fi.com/christabelq👈. Tanks for reading this and have a wonderful weekend.

Day 6 of cosplay advent calendar, cosplay I’m most proud of: My favourite costume I’ve made is my Alice Hysteria mode costume because it was YEARS of hoping to be made. I got the fabric years ago and asked my mother to make it when I was about 14 and she said she would, but then my parents divorced, we ended up homeless and tossed around till we settled down then life took over. I kept the fabric and years later finally I made her and my mother helped as she was originally the one to make it before I learnt to make costumes so this was a collaboration piece spanning my entire cosplay journey. She had the Hysteria hobby horse prop too but I haven’t managed to get photos with it yet. 🩸🔪🩸🔪🩸 ⬇️⬇️About the cosplay⬇️⬇️ Character: Alice in Hysteria mode Series: Alice: Madness returns by @americanmcgee Type: Game character Costume: Made by me @FaeKoneko Wig: Scylla by @epiccosplaywigs cut, crimped then straightened roughly for texture and volume by me ✨✨✨✨✨✨ 🏷️Tags: 🏷️ #alicehysteriamode #americanmcgeesalice #americanmcgee #alicemadnessreturns #cosplayuk #ukcosplayer #halloweencosplay https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl0zEpYr7Mr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
