So I have posted about doing this before, but I am getting started on it this weekend, and will hopefully make progress on this thing every weekend til ACEN. For those of you who don't know, Cho'Gath is a champion from the game League of Legends. His most recent skin is what is called a legendary skin, meaning that the model is not only different, but has special audio and visual effects separate from the base character.Â

I emailed Riot Games to see if they are willing to provide me with sounds and base files for this sucker. I'll post on here once I get an answer.
As this is MY FIRST COSPLAY, this is going to be a serious undertaking. I am one of those people who wants this to be damn near perfect, which means working lights and sounds (Kung-Fu grip optional). I'ma have my to do list on here. I'll try and post my progress when I can, but I think this is a good start. The electronics being used here are also relevant to my interests so bleh.
To-Do:
1.Get myself measured for dimensions
2.Get tools
3.Get Materials (figure out costs and what not)
  -I plan on using Urethane foam as well as some more rigid material that Tracedarkwind showed me. He said hes gonna help me wit dis shit.
4a.Head
  -LEDs
  -Working Jaw
  -Probably mesh or something to see out of.
4b.Arms
  -Controls for entire costume
  -LEDs
  -Figure out how moving parts will move
4c.Legs+Tail
  - Get Measured, get'em built
  - Retractable/Collapsable Tail
  - Piano wire to hold up tail.
4d.Torso+Shoulders
  -Plates (they bounce, so I will be putting them on hinges)
  -Inner structure of the torso
  -Speakers
  -?Fiber Optic cables?
  -Either electric motor or pulley system for Missile Bays(Vorpal spikes)
Questions? Suggestions? Constructive help? Any of these would be appreciated. THANKS U GUYS
