OK Troops,
(this is posted for those participants who don't have access to the CCG members event planning areas!!)Some sort of lighting/illumination is required to be worn on your costumes for this event!Don't panic!! It's really easy to do, but
NOW IS THE TIME to get a lighting scheme planned and implemented
BEFORE you arrive to this trooping event!!!
For all you Jedi types, an EL Lightsaber will be sufficient, BUT you can do more than that if you want, and is highly encouraged!
For all you armored types, EL wire kits work fantastically, are affordable, don't get hot, and will last for hours and hours with fresh batteries!
For Stormtroopers (TK/TD) we suggest a
blue-green EL color run along the lower edge of your chest plates (at a
minimum).
All other costume types have more or less used whatever they wanted, as long as they were illuminated!! For those of you who don't have any idea where to purchase EL wire kits, you can buy VERY inexpensive kit's off eBay.
Here is a link to Portalnd vendor that will ship to you as well. You should get at LEAST 6' long kits! http://www.coolightwest.com/rcProd1.asp?id=85&c1=1&c2=30
Here's a couple photos from past years to give you an idea:
Please post any questions you may have here (PLEASE... no PM's!!), and I'll be happy to give suggestions and advice!
Thanks Troops!!
