MCM saturday: musketeers & vikings

aka Adventures in Spirit Gum

first day at the con for me this time round, so ridiculously lovely to see all these ridiculous nerds again ❤ saturday featured impressive devotion to makeup, the most ridiculously swooshy cloak, fantastic hats, and some interesting crossovers. the musketeers group was so much fun and needs reprising asap, and it was awesome to meet other musketeers cosplayers (whose urls i sadly don’t have!) and to be in the presence of mel’s awe-inspiring lagertha… then back to the boat-el (hotel… on a boat) for overcomplicated takeout and cuddle piles as ever

i met and ran into and reuinited with too many babes to tag, but pictured here are at-heart-a-gentleman, fearlessstateofmind, ciasty, preparedforthateventuality, and cakewithwings  

bonus: how rad is this outfit though:

Athos and Aramis’ pauldron are done! (Well part of aramis’ is still clipped together to dry but still)

Anyway I enjoyed doing these and I’m proud of them but also…phew, done

I’ve included a photo of the back part with the floating articulation (that’s on athos’ aramis’ works the same way) as well as some detail shots, there is probably considerably more glue on these than in the 17th century.
