Bank Robber Cosplay (looong video and massive photo dump)

[mumgoot]

Hello all, so I decided to hold off on my custom Mando build, and went ahead with this. Not much for me to say, because I made a 25-minute video talking all about it!

And if you don't have popcorn and just want pics, I got that too. As you can see, I have options.
















Here is a foam/plastic MAC-10 submachine I've been working on. My first serious foam prop. Super stoked with how it is turning out.

Walked into a local bank and got some cash straps for free. I just explained it was for a costume and they were completely unfazed. I have been working on the cash stacks, and hopefully my faux $100 bills we be in the mail soon.

Well... it was a struggle... but didn't want to brag.

But yeah, lol. They didn't look at me weird or anything, I was sort of surprised. Walked in, got the goods, walked out. No violence, no shouting. I didn't even wear a mask!

But in all seriousness, it is pretty nice how cool people can be when you just ask nicely for things and explain what you're doing.

Faux money just came in. Real happy with it. Only about $8 off Amazon for 100 double-sided $100 bills. That's only one stack, so not that much. But you can make blank bills by cutting paper and dying it with tea water. Then put a fake bill on top and bottom of a stack of blank bills and it gives the appearance of a full stack. Using this method, I could theoretically make 50 "full" stacks. (I watched YouTube tutorials on this, and they explain it better, but it's pretty simple obviously)
