...... because paper masks fool'em every time.

Next up in my line of cosplay pics is my Spytron 3000, also known as the Disguise Kit- part of the Spy’s arsenal in Team Fortress 2, the online game by Valve.

I actually started on the Spytron first, before beginning construction on any of the other props. When I began, my initial idea was to just order a cigarette case online, draw and paint a simple 2D version of the Spytron, then paste it inside the case (this was my very first attempt at cosplay, after all). However, after some contemplation and a little planning, I thought that it might not be so difficult (and might be a lot more fun) to build a 3 dimensional version of the Spytron instead.

So, this is what I ended up with!

It became a much bigger job than I initially intended, and I made several mistakes along the way (including painting the wrong side of the matte board for the wood portion, which, ironically, turned out looking a lot more like real wood close up than the other side would have),but I am quite happy with the end result!
