Tron Legacy Costume

Dingo80 · 09-09-2010, 11:38 PM

For the most part it is one continuous wire. The helmet is 8'1" of wire with a 3' lead wire plugin that goes down my back for just the helmet w/o jacket. So far the jacket is around 22' of continuous wire. Where I need it to angle i punched a hole through the jacket, fed it through, kept around a nickel sized loop on the inside and fed it back through said hole. You could do several strands of el wire and link them together with lead wire (lead doesnt count to the over-all length of el wire, therefore you'll get a brighter glow). To be honest i prob only have about 2' concealed underneath, plan the design right and its more efficient. This IS just my first prototype though >_<

Ill try to post a schematic

I love the look of the new TRON suits. I would like to have one just to have and perhaps ride in. This is going to be a great movie I think. From what I have seen or heard it looks very neat.

I just love the sound of your post!

Here's the WIP thread...
http://www.therpf.com/f9/officially-...56/index5.html

We've kept everything faithful to the movie costume designs, with the exception of the female boot heels. The Quorra character has really large heels on her boots...that we had to turn into flats for our replica boots.
Otherwise, everything else is pretty bang on.

Hi all!

I am back from Dragon Con and after getting a week's worth of sleep working non stop to finish my Quorra costume on time. I wanted to share with all of you my finished costume.

Here are the results 3M Scothlite reflective fabric tape will give you if you decide to use it to make your Tron Legacy costumes. All these photos are taken with flash photography. I included one so you can see how the suit looks when flash is not used.

I still want to find the right lighting source to rig to my Quorra costume by the time the movie comes out to wear it to the premiere.

I had the time of my life wearing my Quorra costume to CON. Everyone just loved photographing it and had no idea when their flash went off on their cameras what great lighting effects the reflective tape would produce.

To tell you the truth, that Scothlite tape is so powerful, I actually think that it is too bright and drowns out your actual costume being photographed. You really have to play around with your camera to find the right settings to bring out the reflective tape glow as well as capturing your costume or all you are going to get is nothing but white glow

Cheers!

Are you sure these aren't just behind the scenes shots?

They look spot on!

Great job on your costume!

Well done Annisse, it looks amazing!

Fantastic job!!!! How did you secure the identity disk to your back? Magnets?

baypistolman · 09-10-2010, 08:24 PM

Annisse, you make that costume hawt!

DangerIMMN · 09-10-2010, 11:24 PM

You've done it again, Anisse! Your costume is the one to beat now!

Dakarn · 09-11-2010, 07:10 AM

That's an excellent Quorra! And you got that together fairly quickly from your previous posts, very cool.

I agree the tape is really bright - maybe use a thinner strip of it, since it seems to be fairly thick vs the thinner lines from the movie photos.

Coooooooooooooool!!!!

Havok69 · 09-11-2010, 11:21 AM

Here's what I will be wearing to the movie premier; I wonder if anyone will notice and comment on it:

baypistolman · 09-11-2010, 11:27 AM

Does anyone know if that tape has adhesive backing or it has to be sewn on?

nemesis · 09-11-2010, 12:15 PM

can you please post what boots you ended up using, thank you!

Thank you,

Coo! Thx! good luck! Hope someone from the company replys back to you!

I found a site once that could print any pattern you designed on any fabric you wanted. I'll find that site again and post it here. I chose Rinzler's suit because it has fewer lights.

GI Joe - Duke Adult Full Helmet - Costumes

Hey I got mine in the mail today. Lets just say little disappointed. Yes it's super cheep ($19 with shipping)but be aware it comes in 2 pieces of VERY flimsy plastic. And the paint job is not what the picture looks like. (I was planning to repaint anyways so not that big a deal) But the visor part is not 100% clear, its more of a smoke tint that tapers back towards the side of the face. My oppinon it will take a lot of apoxy, car bondo, sanding, and repainting to make this somewhat worthy. Save your money and go with a better helmet.

Oh wow your costume looks amazing!

I've been lurking for a while but dang I needed to comment on how wonderful your costume is!

superflunker87 · 09-17-2010, 03:47 PM

Ok, so I've been floating around ideas in my head since I first saw the Tron Legacy trailers. I think I have the base of my suit down.

For my helmet I'm using

For my suit, I'm using a wetsuit

And then you have gloves and boots

Too make things simple, I'll just sew on 5mm blue EL light to the wetsuit. I was thinking of using EL tape but it would get too complicated with the bending. I also was considering sewing neoprene onto the wetsuit's upper body to "buff it up".

Wow Annisse, I know it's been said but that costume is simply spectacular
