Allright, so first and foremost I have never done this before. I used cardboard and duct tape as well as buckles straps and foam inserts to keep things in place. The worst possible thing I could have done was FIBERGLASS THE OUTSIDE of the suit. I didn't sand it and went straight to painting it so the first night I was poking/scratching people. Another thing, I spent WAY too much time trying to create depth, after I fiberglassed it, almost all of the detail was gone except for the major stuff. Also, the suit was way too clunky and nobody knew who I was. Except for the guys. I got "Megaman" or "Sub Zero" a lot. Shoulda stuck with the green. Hindsight is always 20/20. It took me about 40 hours and a week to do this. I didn't put a visor because I couldn't see clearly, and if you're going out on halloween, you need to be able to see all the costumes. That's the best part! Anyway, what do y'all think? Here's when I primed it. Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others! And here is the final product. Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others! I should have used a hot glue gun WAYYY sooner, it would have knocked my time down to like 20 hours. |

I forgot to mention that I wasn't going for the exact halo look, which is why I chose the different color... always tryin' to be different, haha.

this is one of those things where you either do it right or you don't do it at all.

I appreciate it guys, haha. I had fun making it, and I had fun wearing it for the most part. SO NYAH
