  Need Help: Cosplay advice needed

  I am working (or about to) on a big project. I wanted to do some cosplaying bit. Last time i tried, it didn't went well.

  I NEED HELP:

  If you have any experiences on making stuffs with resin casting, silicone mold, and stuffs, YOU'RE THE ONE.

  If you happen to have experiences of making helmets out of the stuff, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I NEED.

  We need YOU.

  Well, I actually. I'm working on this alone.

  The Future Of Automobiles

  First post on my blog. Don't really understand what it's for but well, i wanted to share my opinion on one of my favourite topics. Cars. The future of it to be exact.

  I've been a petrolhead since, i don't know when exactly. Maybe since i was born? Nobody knows. My old days drawing was filled with cars. And there was like thousands of those things.

  I'm particularly interested in styling however. I have no idea how most parts of automobiles works, though i know a lot of part names and how it looks [I think]

  Back to the styling bussiness. I design cars... For myself. Or future use. But i'm afraid, by the time all those designs could be realized, it would be called "So bloody outdated".

  There are a lot of car designs in this world since the creation of automobile itself of course (Don't ask about the date when the first automobile was created. Google it yourself! [other way to say i don't know]) There are good looking ones, ones that does not look pretty but isn't ugly at all, and some others that makes you vomit when you see them. Some has distinctive looks (i.e Aston Martins, Porsches, Audis), and some has looks that doesn't change at all if not a bit Like the porsche 911s of today. There's a lot of variations but you can't really tell which one is which, can you?

  Back to the main topics then. The future. Peoples have a lot to tell about it. They can be right about things. Maybe we all will be wearing clothes with blue neon lights all over, or maybe cars will be flying, and there'll be aliens around. Technology have been developing all the time of course. Peoples have invented stuffs. From important ones like light, electricity and useless ones like a CD/DVD rewinder.

  Okay, i've seen a lot of futuristic car designs by peoples i don't even know who and stuffs that came out straight from the manufacturer. They have lots of weird stuffs. Weird looking rims, tires, weird looking seats that seems in a fixed potition and very uncomfortable, weird interiors with lights everywhere, weird steering wheels, it all seems.... Unnecessary and rather ugly. This is what i'm talking about. Oh yeah, there's no glove box or cupholder there either. Nor is any AC.

  

  But my nightmare will be started when cars started to fly (Or at least float, like the Audi RSQ from iRobot). Races are no fun without tires. There will be no more Drifting events, no more smell of burning rubber and off-road racing would dissappear. If cars fly (like in star wars) don't you think it's quite dangerous? If you crash, you may be saved by the airbag, but what if your flying car falls? If you suddenly ran out of fuel mid-air? What will happen to aircraft pilots all over the globe? Can the aviation companies fight against this? Can Rebecca Black make good music?! I have no idea about it.

  Now, if we won't be flying cars, my other nightmare will be that, fuel powered engines might be extinct in the future. Yes there's biofuel, you could fire up a car with wines now, even cow poops. But, i believe that's gonna need a new fuel system right? Cars with normal fuel system can't run on wines or cow craps can they? If we all are going to turn to electric powers in the future. I imagine horrible stuffs. (I don't hate electric powered cars, i like some of them, like the Tesla Roadster and the Citroen Survolt. I want them in fact. I just prefer petrol powered cars)

  1. Electric cars are silent. They make absolutely no noise. That means it could make a good car to sneak if you get back home late. But what will happen to the roars of the V8s? Power of the V12 engine? The veyron's W16? Or the singing fat lady?! Nobody knows, but let's hope those normal engines are still around until forever.

  2. I see electric cars like laptops or phones. Really big and really expensive one. They're still laptops/phones right? They still need charging if their batteries run flat no matter how expensive it is. Now to charge my phone from dead to full power, it took somewhere about one and a half hour. My laptop from dead to 100%? i don't know... Never counted it. My point is, batteries took hours to recharge. I mean imagine those electric cars are in an endurance race. Pitstops may take hours (Or can they simply change the whole battery in the car?)

  3. Last thing... If the only electric car we will be riding is THIS. You know what? I'd rather jump off a coconut tree. a very tall one
