COMPANION CUBE and ENGINEER costume

as most people now im a biiiiiiiiiiiig anime fan. and just like last year i make a costume and go to abunai a anime con in netherlands.
and this year i wanted to make COMPANION CUBE from portal. so i found some one ho made it and i want to do it just like here but i need some tips where i need to find ONLY THE MATERIALS FOR THE COMPANION CUBE like the foam and stuff idk where to get it.

this is the link to the chick ho made the cube http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?pid=2052450

please do remember i live in belgium so dont gimme tips like go to wallmarkt or wutever thanks annyways.

ps thank you fubar for the tips you already gave me

So tempted to just do this in Dutch but still...
The foam can be bought at a hardware store (praxis, formido, gamma) since it often gets used for isolaton. In fact I am 80% sure we have used that in the attic. (spray) Paint can also be bought there and clothes can be found on the market, supply stores and even in some hardware stores (kinda expensive there tho!).

Fun fuct: I am planning to go to Abunai myself although this depends on which of my friends are going this year (they are all going to Animecon except for me). As for a costume I was planning on Gordon Freeman with HEV suit, the Engineer with at least a toolbox, a Cactuar from Final Fantasy or a giant pack of instant noodles (lol). Problem is that I am a perfectionist so unless it looks decent I wont wear it.

That reminds me, still need to actually start thinking on how I could make them xD

I don't want to go off-topic but Rosa gave me a link to this anime TF2 mod: http://touhoufortress2.web.fc2.com/

I was working on porting one of the player models so she could use it on our server, a female anime model with sounds! lol i was on my way of making it work when Valve fucked it all up with their update.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see what you guys come up with, Pepper, those pics better be good.

Translation

No. Read the rules please!

Nico doesn't realize two thirds of the forum admins are Dutch and can overrule him just like that...

On-topic: I'm having trouble finding a decent American Overall for my engie costume. I wanna be the RED engie and everything I found (for a normal price) is blue-ish. uuugh, maybe I should just go BLU engi instead -.-

that would be sad pepper because i like red engie the most hmmm let me see if i can find one

i found some:

So today I went to the hardware store with my money filled bank card. I bought myself a new bike but I also went shopping for engineer items! I ended up buying almost everything I needed for only €30. Of course I have put it all on and asked my sister to make a photo of me:


Note: I was trying to hide my laugh while my cat was doing crazy stuff.

Things left to do:
-Find an American Overall in the right color/buy a white one and dye it.
-Edit and print class logo for shoulders on transfer paper and iron them on.
-Find orange extension cord in the attic.
-Find/buy a wrench because even tho crowbars are awesome...

good one
and the boots?

Properly not gonna wear boots; I get blisters really fast so unless I wear some shoes that are walked in (read worn every day for a week) my feet will turn into one gigantic blister collection. If however I find some cheap yet comfortable boots to wear I will try them out.

also, going to get my hair cut tomorrow. I can lose at least 5 to 7cm...

should you wait until its like that time ?

Nah, my hair grows pretty fast, have to get it cut every two or three months

Some tips for improving the outfit:
-Add a Toolbelt
-Wear an overall (brown/gray)
-Wear glove on right hand
-Color of your helmet is to bright, spraypaint it a bit to become darker yellow (maybe some bloodspatter on it?)
-The engie helmet also looks small on your head, it should maybe be a bit (too) larger
-Wear workshoes
-The read shirt is pretty good but it should have rolled up sleeves and a yellow patch on the left shoulder
-Grow a beard
-Those glasses are too big, go to a 2nd hand military dump store and buy those pilot glasses
-Say dammit dag naggit! all the time

You are one crazy person, Sgt Pepper. Almost as crazy as me!

Nah, costume parties/events are just plain fun.

Shakes Eraser by shoulders!

-Add a Toolbelt -> looking for the right one
-Wear an overall (brown/gray) -> ordered (grey-black) and will be delivered next week
-Wear glove on right hand -> noticed that myself later that day
-Color of your helmet is to bright, spraypaint it a bit to become darker yellow (maybe some bloodspatter on it?) -> never buy a hemlet whiel wearing welding glasses xD
-The engie helmet also looks small on your head, it should maybe be a bit (too) larger -> thats because of my hair, got it cut today and it looks fine now.
-Wear workshoes -> I blister easy
-The read shirt is pretty good but it should have rolled up sleeves and a yellow patch on the left shoulder -> patches are ready but my printer died on me, also got a blue shirt by the way so I can change teams when auto-balanced
-Grow a beard -> shaved myself that morning (braun cruzer = god)
-Those glasses are too big, go to a 2nd hand military dump store and buy those pilot glasses -> They are fine, cost me €10 and the engi wears this kind.
-Say dammit dag naggit! all the time -> Will do

Autobalance LOL

PS: Forget Braun, go with Wilkinson Sword Xtreme
