All is going according to plan

At long last, here is the first of three images I am going to submit of my newest costume, Andrew Waltfeld from Gundam Seed, also known as the Desert Tiger.

This is a character I've wanted to cosplay for a very long time and a certain someone happened to be nice enough to make it for me from scratch. Not only that, but she managed to make Aisha's costume as well! For those of you who don't know, Aisha is Waltfeld's significant other and her costume is CRAZY so major props to bluetie for pulling it all off. This costume is not entirely done yet as it's missing a couple small details, but the bulk is complete and I couldn't be happier with it. I did, however, make the mistake of asking Matt Hill, voice actor for Kira Yamato from the same series, to sign the inside of my uniform and it bled through, but I actually don't mind it all that much!

Photo is by Chase Wirth . He was nice enough to take all the photos that I'm submitting here of this costume. Dude rocks. This was premiered at Daisho Con 4 at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells.
