Thank to you all how dressed up it was a great day, it made the day at the musume more exciting.
Again Thanks.

Absolutely! I couldn't agree you more James!! You deserve some credit to you know. All three of our clan members did beautifully and I think they really made a huge impression to everyone they came in contact with that day at the opening of the exhibit. Txantsan!

Thanks so much to MOMS, Sarah, and Emily for doing such a great job in representing us as a clan and for all your hard work on your cosplay and making our meet-up even MORE fantastic, enjoyable, and most of all memorable! Irayo.

They were all amazing costumes

maybe i can help out with things like ears and other items needed for cosplay.
Things like ears i have already made for my Ney and Jake 3D models.
I could change them a little to your needs and upload them to shapeways.
Thats an online 3D print shop and then you could order them printed.
They print out of different materials, also flexible, check it out.

That looks cool! Only thing is most of those materials would be very rigid and brittle like ceramic..There's only one flexible material and I'm not sure just how flexible it might be. Hopefully you could still form a mask out of it.

When you get the ears to work I'll buy a pair from you!

[Moco Loco]

I will too

James of Terra is very secure with himself. To meet a guy over the Forum, share a room, paint him for 5 hours naked, and be my "purse," as Sarah calls it, takes A LOT!! Thanks James of Terra for being so nice, hard working, and taking care of me. He even counted the pictures people took with me! What was the count? ( )

I couldn't had a better roommate, helper, or friend.

Ewya sent you to me.

Irayo ma tsmukan,

Mikko did an fantastic job of taking pictures, focus, timing, light, and capturing the moment was his hallmark. I have looked at, linked, and gave out his website of the photos countless times. It is a happy sad feelings when I look at them. But it always brings back the moment and feelings.

Mikko also makes this great yell (whoop?) that can be heard for a great distance. Very Na'vi inspired. If I could speak Na'vi and whoop as well as him that would be killer!

[Fiyerwall]

In addition to next year's meetup, I've got to start saving money to buy all this awesome Na'vi gear to dress up!

[Human No More]

I'll have to hear that then

I'll be there next year as a Na'vi... let's see how many we can get

...I'm tempted to make the ikran call now, just to joke can HNM hear me? But I think my wife next to me would jump out of her skin.

[Pa'li Makto]

Do it!!
I would give a medal to anyone who can truly mimic Neytiri's Ikran call.

[mikkowilson]

I can't do it quite as high pitched as Neytiri, but come to the next meetup.

Did you ever get that pic of his phone? I would love to see that!

[James of terra]

Well, looks like I will be painting for awhile next year...lol.
Thanks for nice comments momball avatar, I glad to help.
