So obviously with any cosplay, there are a lot of levels of "completion" and whatnot. For this cosplay, I plan on making this one of my most ambitious and difficult cosplays to date. Some things I plan on incorporating include but are not limited to:

So obviously with any cosplay, there are a lot of levels of "completion" and whatnot. For this cosplay, I plan on making this one of my most ambitious and difficult cosplays to date. Some things I plan on incorporating include but are not limited to:

*Rotating and controllable cannons via button input on my hands

*Retracting barrels to emulate the cannons "firing"

*<s>Retracting barrels to emulate the cannons "firing"</s>

*Firing sounds via a miniature speaker system

*<i>Firing sounds via a miniature speaker system</i> (Maaaaaaybe)

*POSSIBLY fake "smoke" from the barrels upon "firing"

*<s>POSSIBLY fake "smoke" from the barrels upon "firing"</s>

I estimate the total cost for this cosplay to hit possibly in the ~$500 range depending on how fancy I decide to make this. Again, this is by far my largest and most ambitious project yet.

Edit: As of 6/1/15, I have now surpassed over $500 in materials. My wallet is crying horrendously. I don't even know where all the money went. It just evaporated.

Foamboard

'''''Foamboard'''''

*This is the type you can buy at any craft store such as [http://www.michaels.com/elmers-acid-free-foam-board-2-count/10390078.html this]. Make sure to buy these in-store because these are hella expensive if you buy online. If you buy a non-brand one like Elmer's from your local craft store, you can get these for even cheaper. I get mine for like $4 or $5 per board. I just got a bunch when they were on sale so I paid $3.50 each kek
