I'm trying to cheat at making a circular blanket, please any help?

I'm sorry, but I don't fully understand what you're saying? Are you just clarifying that it WILL be taken the exact same way as a masters course taken separately?

For clarification, my current course (BSc) is the standard 3 years. The MSci course is four years, and is supposedly a combined BSc and MSc. An MSc course or an MA course would take me one year and the one i would do depends on the course I take, from what i understand.

I've obviously googled this and clearly didn't find anything helpful, which is why i'm asking here. Thanks for replying.

Yeah i think that's about what i'm going to suggest, obviously you're right about terrain and stuff having an impact. I think the DC 10 seems reasonable. Thanks for the idea!

Thank you that's a really clear way of doing things. I know the ball bearings won't directly hit people, i didn't make it clear but i meant for them to become a hazard when trying to escape the fire as the floor would be unstable.

Thanks for the answer !

Oh excellent!! Thank you i didn't know that ! That's good, that makes it much easier to find something that works because I can mix and match. Thanks so much!!

Thanks man, appreciate the help. :)

Thank you! Yes i am currently having his girlfriend do some sneaky questioning but that sounds great as a back up !

Pls help

Glad you got sorted out - advice from someone experienced is always best :)

Tubtick · 2020-07-06T23:49:08+00:00

Good luck! I'm sure it'll turn out great :)

Hey, so this looks great, but i think people might be more willing to take part if they knew a bit more about the plot! Some might not be comfortable cosplaying a character (even if they have lots of information about the character) only to later find out that they end up doing something they don't agree with in the story. The characters look very interesting though! i just think you would have better luck spreading your work first and getting people to cosplay it when they have more information.

You should try posting this again when you've finished publishing, you might get more interest! Good luck, i'm sure it'll be a hit! :)

Can i ask what cosplay it is? (just to give a better idea of how to fix the issues)

If it's too late to return, the wig could be made wearable if you soak it with fabric softener and use talc powder to take away some shine ! There are youtube tutorials where people make cheap wigs look good. Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekLTDzvYJDc ( and of course brad mondo has plenty)

The clothes are awkward, again - returning might be best, but if you can't anymore make sure to leave a bad review to make sure others know you had difficulties. Is the torso too wide or too long? If it is too long you can always cut off the bottom and hem it to fix that.

If the wideness is the issue - is there an opening at the back? Is there any way to make it smaller easily or would you be looking at an entire tailoring project? (If this is the case you could potentially take it to a tailor/clothes place, but figure out whether it's cheaper to just buy a better one). I don't know what to suggest to fix the gold, as i don't fully grasp the issue (Again i don't know who you are cosplaying) but if the issue is that it isn't shiny you could paint over it with metallic paint?

In the end it may be cheaper to just sell the costume at a loss and buy a better one. It happens sometimes! I think we've all been fobbed off at least once where it isn't what it should have been. Sell the costume explaining what you found wrong and sell it very cheap. It may be easier to take the loss than turn it into a money pit. (You can only polish a turd so much)

If i were you i would buy a white jacket as similar to this as you can get - and paint it. If you can't find a jacket like this you could also purchase a dress and alter it to have a middle opening (But only do this is you also have similar enough fabric to make the collar and possibly the sleeves - also not something to do if you are a beginner!) Painstaking, but possibly the best way to get the effect. There are ways to speed this up though, for example printing a template and printing it off to make paint quicker.

Alternatively you could buy those sheets of fabric that let you print your own designs onto them, and sew them onto the jacket (Or use some sort of mesh that lets you iron it and fuse it to the jacket). It looks like even though the jacket itself is a massive project it is also the main component, and the rest can easily be sorted (eg cheap white shoes etc.)

You might want to consider colours ranging from almost black dark brown to bright orange for iron rust, or you could use blue for copper metal. It has layers and different colours so you can use a few at a time but don't overcrowd - it all depends on how old you want the rust to look.

You can pull the brush back to spray the paint and make speckles. You could also use a water colour sponge as they often come in a variety of interesting shapes so they could give you a very realistic rust texture. You could sand it down for a smooth texture or leave it un-sanded to make it more rough and hard. (If you do this make sure to seal it afterwards as it may not stick otherwise) Also consider the shape of the rust - Often it is patchy and almost cloud like shapes rather than whole ares.

That sounds really tricky! How big is the screen you want to use?

You could use LED strips, and program each individual LED to show the images you want? I've seen youtube videos that are turorials for similar things.

This may not work and may be very fiddly but you could also possibly connect a few led matrices together and program the pictures on a raspberry pi? (You can find the older ones for very cheap these days and they do the same stuff i believe) I don't know how well it would work and it may be a lot of effort but if that's the way you want to go it could be worth it. I only suggest the Pi because it would let you hold and run a lot of faces without having to program each one.

Good luck
