Description This is what you get from long lived dream of one music video project, SA-shop and entering to the worship held in the evening of the Christmas Eve (tradition in your family). While at being there I maked notice how easy it would be to get correct kind of background for Tino cosplay. Same time remembering of that old music video idea that have been buried earlier because of the lack of cosplayer who would be willing to act it make me realize that ''why not me?''. Few text messages later to I was made up my mind, even it still confused me, and started dreaming of all the possibilities of new cosplay outfit. The worship goed on.

After one day use at Frostbite in Lahti I got really fond of this outfit. It's warm to wear but not hot like my Alfred cosplay can be and in the end it's comfortable with was surprise because I am little allergic to wool or something. It tickles when it's next to skin and make my skin turn really red. I needed to wear long sleeve and under trouser to wear this. But because of them and army wool shirt I didn't get gold in the photo shoot even there was again something like -15 celsius. (Why we are always tooking photos wen there is -15 celsius?) Except my fingers and ears because I didn't want to wear over big mittes in photos and that ''Verikauha'' (Blood ladle?) was to small to fit my head even wen I didn't wear wig. I got it somehow on my head later on but not yet at the tooking time of this picture.

Picture is toked by Jazu who wanted to start learning how to photo shoot. In the next pic of the serier there is one random Man posing with the salute next to me. He said that he is Finnish army officer and I think that he was also father of some cosplayer. Didn't ask what we where doing.

In same con there was also black winter wear Russia and Winter wear German. I would have wanted to took some photos with them but they where probably using their outfits only one day because I didn't remember seeing them at Sunday when I was wearing this. Well maybe some other time I got my change to ask.

My outfit is reproduction of the Finnish M36 wool uniform. The model saw widespread use in both of our last little wars, Winter War and Continuation War. But because the lack of making of M36 before of those wars you can see in old pictures from that time very varying clothings. Breeches and strait trousers where both official if I have understand right. Some man didn't even get army uniforms first because there where not enough of them. All who know more about the officers marks and other little detail please forgive my mistakes with them. I am still learning about the protocol of that time. (If you know more about them I don't mind to get teachful notes about them.) Also before the start of that video project I am needing new sulkeiset (military drill) from Jazu.

This is probably one of the longest descriptions that I have wroted here in dA and I could still wrote few more thing about this but I need to go by food. So maybe later. :]

Thank you. I think it have been designed after that German uniform.
No I didn't- It's from local SA shop (Suomen Armeija=Finnish Army). They sell(ed) these replicas in about 15 euros.

I normally don't like cosplay, but this a particularly striking one, from the pose to the expression to the uniform and the background, even. Very nice work.

XD Aika harvassa on ne kuvat joissa en itse ole mukana täällä dA:ssa. (moisia uskalla laitta kun ei jaksa kysyä lupia) Asennosta ja ilmeestä kaikki kiitos Jazulle joka nuo paremmin armeijan käyneenä tunteepi. Tausta oli ihana tuuri jonka Sibeliustalo minulle tajosi.

Kiitoksia, juuri tuo oli se vaikutelma mitä halulusin mutta jälleen kerran en osannut määrittää sitä sanoina kunnolla.
Xd Tuo puku oli hyvin isän maallinen pitää päällä. Jos haluat itsellesikin voin neuvoa miten. :]

Ummm... I didn't use man make-up, I couldn't get all the first con days make-up out of my skin, I killed that orange problem from my skin and keep my face in army state. You can see wen I get my own wig or borrow I can Rindous wig. :]
