Thanks!
I'm afraid I don't have a tutorial for them. I'm happy to share my materials list, and a couple of websites that were very helpful. If you have specific questions, (like how I got the upside-down mount to work, or what kind of paint I used on the goggles), please let me know. Good luck!

LINKS

Ushanka tutorial (used for the hat) - this is from a military figurine website, so I just adjusted the measurement for a human's head instead of a doll's - [link]

i know this is alittle late(about a year late to be precise) but if you still wish to cosplay kino, you can search 'kino cosplay' on ebay, they're a couple of auctions for costumes..

*Bows* Thanks, thanks, thanks! This took a lot of work.

Hooray for another Kino cosplayer! Do you have any shots of your outfit? I'd love to see them!

No, Sadly enough, I don't have any good ones. my camera got run over before I could upload them to my computer, and I don't have the goggles anymore; I had trouble finding goggles similar to hers, so I borrowed them from a friend, and had to give them back after the con. I might fix it up a bit now that I have a while untill the next con. If it works out, I'll definately post pictures.
I said alot, but I managed to say very little.. - -''

Run over?! Oh dear! I'm sorry to hear that! *pats poor, deceased camera*

The goggles are probably the trickest part of the cosplay. They couldn't be circles or even squares, noooo, they had to be HEXAGONS! I swear, that shape does not exist on this planet. I had to build mine, and right up to the very end I wasn't sure they would work out. (In this shot, they don't even have the lenses in yet!)

It was a HUGE help to me to see other Kino cosplayers online, so I very much hope you'll post yours!

Oh lookit me jabber on. Off to work!

Thanks for the compliment!

I plan on wearing this costume for awhile, so the hat and goggles aren't for sale. I'd be happy to answer any questions about the construction, though!

Yes, it was good fun! My first time going to a con other than Ohayocon.

Heh, there were lots of L's running around. That must be a fun costume - you can eat as many sweets as you want!

Glad you like the costume and the shot! My camera's quite finicky, so I'm glad to get some decent self-portraits out of it.
