thanks hopefully this just a teaser what's coming after i have played LL. perhaps i try to persuade some friends too. looting surface alone is so boringeep:
You've actually made some of the cosplay items yourself? :O Absolutely amazing! I think this is by far the best outfit in this whole thread so far! Huge creds to you, my friend
That's kick ass man! I can just imagine how awesome it would be as a background: Dirty pipes, stairs, steam, valves, etc., Very cool indeed. :thumb: -TK-, excellent outfit as well as the location! Great Job! As Skaara said earlier:
thank you all. :nod: headlamp, pipe bombs(dummies:lol and knife based on kitchen kinfe are made by me. next christmas will be deadline for new pics.
My Gorka just arrived and looks great! (To me at least...) I'll try and get some pics later today, if not, then this weekend 4 sure.
I realised I had enough actual hunting gear and militaria to put together a Metro or Stalker cosplay...and yes, I have several real guns including an M44 carbine and ammo. I actually do use that coat, pants, hat, belt, pouches, knife etc. This is my first draft...its not easy taking selfies using a digital camera in the dark with rubble while wearing a gas mask and clutching a valuable antique...maybe next time I'll make life a little easier for myself and do it in the daytime. Next time I will wear a decent shirt with a collar, or possibly bring a rifle that I have a sling for. For conventions I have a toy AK74. There is enough cheap militaria around to do a good cosplay with - none of the pouches cost more than USD$5. I love some of the locations you guys have found...this is a dump area behind a local sheep farm =_=
My Ranger cosplay: Backstory: Name: Iakova Cardinski Age: 16 Bio: Early Life: Iakova was born in 2017 to a rich Hansa (an ex-FSB operative) stalker and his wife in Revolution Square. Hansa-Red Line War: Iakova was only 4 when the Hansa-Red Line War began. Because of his wealth, Iakova's father was initially spared of the draft, but when the stalemate began at the Lenin Mausoleum his father was recruited because of his knowledge of the surface. Three days later, he was reported K.I.A. when a group of Red volunteers strapped grenades to themselves and rushed the fortification where he was stationed. Life for Iakova, now age 10, got worse when the battle of Revolution Square began. When his mother could not afford to send him to another station (his father's remaining funds were spent on survival and skyrocketing taxes), Iakova was told to "step in your father's shoes" and become a stalker. Stalking: Iakova, though worried and frightened, began leaning from his father's old notes and various maps what the most interesting (and profitable) locations of the surface were. His home was a tank that had been suppressing riots hours before the bombs fell, as it's CBRN capabilities protected him from the radiation outside. His most favorite location was the Museum of the Great Patriotic War, where he learned about the war that "made this current war look like a cat-fight", as well as finding new technologies that could be made in the Metro. Most notably were artificial fuel, simpler rubber, and (his favorite) a lightweight rocket launcher that could be easily made in the Metro. However, he did not spend more than 3 hours at a time there, because of strange phenomena, battlefield sounds even though he was many miles from any conflict in the Metro. Return to Hansa and the Rangers: After a year, Iakova returned to the Metro in search of his mother, who was killed loading ammunition for a Hansa DShKM during the final Red charge of the station. Discouraged, he moved on to find more peaceful parts of the Metro. It was here, in a tunnel leading to Oktyabr'skaya, where he met a lost Ulman, about to be executed by a squad of bandits. After killing the bandits with his Kalash and his custom weapon, the Tovarich, he offered to bring Ulman to Polis in exchange for becoming a citizen there. Ulman agreed, and, intrigued by Iakova's skill in fighting and his knowledge of the frozen surface, later pitched in a good word to Miller (who had actually known Iakova's father) to ask Iakova to join the Rangers. Rangers and D6: Upon being accepted into the Rangers, Iakova sought out to get a thank you gift for everyone of the then-small group of Rangers. Ranging from a (hilariously bad) joke book for Ulman to Vasili Zaietsev's sniper rifle for Anna, Iakova was soon sent to scout the surface with Hunter and another Ranger, Red. Being a Ranger, he had various perks for life in Polis. His favorite is a room to himself, complete with his own,fully functioning, bathroom. Upon hearing the declaration of war between Reich and the Red Line (to which he was not surprised at all about, given his knowledge of the Great Patriotic War), he was tasked with renovating a base on the surface, Sparta Base. It was here that he met an old philosopher, who frequented the old chuch. After discussing life, the state of humanity, as well as the phenomena that inhabited the Museum of the Great Patriotic War, the man told him to, "Think before you make a life-altering decision, whether it be yours or someone else's." With a new crisis occurring at VDNKh, he decided to have a neutral take on the matter, staying post at Sparta Base. When Miller decided to eliminate the Dark Ones at Polis, Iakova had a heated argument with Miller. Miller ordered him to stay "one step behind us" and shortly after the six Rangers departed for D6, Iakova departed for Sparta Base, and later D6 to protect Vladimir. Changed by the destruction of the Dark Ones, Iakova now stands watch at Sparta Base. He makes periodical stops to the Museum of the Great Patriotic War, to relive the only time he can remember being happy in his life.
