The Toy Soldier Costume.


Canon 28mm


After many weeks of work, it's finally done.
 I saw this costume idea on the web a couple years back and wanted to try it out. I got some paint colour-matched to a rain-suit and painted all the gear to look the same.

More  pics after the break.












I built the machine gun out of wood and a piece of scrap metal for the barrel.
 The platform is just a wooden plank that's been jigged and sanded.

DUDE!!! It's Julio from the old CORE days. That is a SICK costume. Great idea. I may have to try that some year. I hope all is well out West. Cheers.

Hey Julio!

Nice to hear from you!

Vancouver is great as always. This costume was loads of fun to put together, you should try it!

Thanks for stopping by.

Very nice work. I might try that next year. What kind of make up did you use to match the green of your costume?

I got lucky in that between two choices of green they had at the costume shop, one of them ended up being very similar to my costume colour. I would seriously recommend that one invests in "Theater quality" makeup. It's a lot easier to apply and is far more comfortable to wear than the cheap stuff.

May I ask, what kind of paint did you use?
thanks
