Posted: 04 Jul 2013 10:05 PM PDT

If you have a geeky side, you might be interested in cosplay, and if that's the case, today we have an amazing creation that we want to show you.



We saw all sorts of geeky creations, but Blood Angel Space Marine suit from Warhammer 40k stands from the rest. This costume was build using the foam and hot glue, so the wearer can easily move. As for the weight, this costume weighs 55 pounds, and it's about seven feet tall. On the other hand, weapons are a bit larger, about 10% larger in scale, but they still look amazing. As for the creation process, it took 300 hours to build this suit, and it takes about 15 minutes to get into it. We have to point out that there's another costume available that comes with glowing eyes made from Glospex, and audio that simulates movement in heavy suit. This other model took about extra 100 hours to complete.

This costume looks amazing, and the building process cost about $3,245, and we can easily say that this is one of the best costumes that we saw in a while.

iPhone Mashup Shoe is a 3D printed shoe that holds your iPhone

Posted: 03 Jul 2013 10:05 PM PDT

We saw all sorts of iPhone cases, but today we have one unique and fashionable iPhone "case".



3D prints are popular, and a 3D printing house based in Amsterdam has designed a unique pair of shoes that can carry your iPhone. iPhone Mashup Shoe was shown at Milan Design Week 2012, and it was designed by Alan Nguyen. According to Alan Nguyen, his design was influenced by DJs and their way of creating music by combining different parts of the song into something completely new. As for the size, iPhone Mashup Shoe is designed for size 37, or size 6 in the United States. We have to admit that these shoes look visually stunning, and Alan Nguyen did an amazing job when it comes to the design. On the other hand, we don't know how comfortable these shoes are, and we seriously doubt that carrying your iPhone attached to your shoe is a practical thing to do.

As we said, iPhone Mashup Shoe looks great, but we doubt that such shoe / iPhone case would be useful.
