They are lovely! I'm meant to be shopping for groceries but couldn't resist reading this first! I love the pictures, the captions... yes, definitely need more of these two, pretty please! (plushy pr0n perhaps?!)
My eyes were also drawn to what looks like roleplay Sam gear... the cords and a black leather jacket *covets* My OH reckons that he wants a jacket like Sam's; I told him that with his height and build he'd look better in the camel-hair coat.... LOLZ
Oooh maybe. I do want to do more (it may become a monthly thing rather than a weekly thing). If you ever have any more ideas for a little comic strip of them do send me a message.
Awww well if your husband is Sam then you get to be Gene and beat him up all day (Ferntree who cosplays Gene with me is smaller than me so size doesn't matter too much.)
Wow that's great, LOL! I've never been to a LoM convention, sadly - been to Dr Who and Torchwood (and years & years ago I used to go to Star Trek cons, and run HHG2TTG ones) - I know what fun they were and can only imagine that you had a fab time!
Oh, I think my hubby should definitely be Gene... he has the attitude for it, LOL! Not so sure I want to be beaten up by him though, lol.. one time he seriously considered bidding for Tina when she was up on eBay but it went way too high, we didn't have that kind of dosh, sadly. It would've been awesome though - and OH was all for it, going on about getting the camel hair coat and everything. Ah well...
Cool! I was thinking of going to one of the Dr Who ones next year so might see you there, a group of people from lifein1973 go to the big general all fandom cons in London so if you go to one of those I am sure you could meet up with us. I'm impressed with the running of the HHG2TTG - I've actually been looking for someone who could put me in contact with some people from that fandom who do cosplay so I may send you a PM in the near-ish future.
You can duck like Sam does XD Yeah that got so expensive, but cortinas still appear on ebay from time to time, I was going to renovate one after I crashed my current car, but then commensense (read - bank statement) kicked in. So you never know, you guys could make it a project and get another one and pretend its Tina.
Click on the link at the bottom of the post and it takes you to the makers website. You email them with what you want (size etc) and reference pictures and they make it for you.
There are plenty of other sites as well that do them.
I've already completely spazzed out over these on Tumblr, as you know, but I just stumbled on this post and had to tell you yet again how brilliant they are. ;D
Your props and captions make it all even more amazing. (I can't believe you even have that little Cortina model, in the pic with Gene. I have that too! :3) Thanks again for sharing these photos with us! Just looking at them are making me act like a five year old at Christmas.
And I just saw your links to your Sam cosplay up there in the comments, and I must say, you are awesome. I've never actually run into anyone else who cosplays him before. :)
I'll stop gushing now, but yes, great to find you on LJ!

Yes, you are right, I roleplay Sam Tyler at quite a few of the uk conventions:

*high five to us for being cortina toy buddies* It was so hard to find that model, took me months to get one!
hahahaha glad to be spreading the childhood regression around!
Thanks for your comment <3
