This was a message sent the other day to the Cosplay mailing list I am
also on.  Check out this URL below but be warned, if you are at all
like me, you will be depressed for days because you too will realize
that even if you live  a million years you will never look this good.

Also note that these costumes are based on the manga version designs so
if you have only seen the anime you can check the following for some
reference...

This one has scans of the Katsumi Michihara (the manga artist) art book
"Portrait of Heroes" which has nice color scans of the uniforms.
Also there is:

http://www.nwlink.com/~logh/manga.htm

which has thumbnail scans of the manga volume covers of the first 6
volumes or so.

The true mark of absolute devotion to craft in these pictures is that
in the pictures near the bottom, not only are the cosplayers wearing
the correct color wigs for Reinhard and Kircheis, they are even wearing
the correct color contact lenses!!

Sigh, I will never be able to wear my Imperial admiral dress uniform
again, because I just look so pathetic in comparison... ;_;
