My 2 year old loves the Wizard of Oz. We typically do a themed Halloween costume group for the family, so we decided to do the Wizard of Oz this year. I wasn't content to do just the Tin Woodsman from the movie - I needed something with more substance. I decided to make a steampunk/clockwork tin man. This is my first, complete build and it the bulk of the suit is made of craft foam and anti-fatigue mats. Some of the concepts I am trying to incorporate include:
- A boiler/furnace concept for the "steampunk" with lighting - COMPLETE!
- A working, clockwork heart - COMPLETE!
- Steampunk accents (armor, gears, goggles) - COMPLETE!
Some of the pieces were borrowed from JFCustom's Space Marine unfold and the hands are stripped down versions of Iron Mans. The rest of the pieces were designed by myself. This took 2 months to build. I'm very proud of this piece due to the fact that it is one of a kind.
Here are the photos from the final build:
And here's a small featurette video of the costume:
