I have always wanted a buzz lightyear full on cos....anyone know of someone who has or can model a full working suit? Let em know. Thanks
 
You'd maybe need someone who's made Warhammer Space Marine armour - similar construction could speed things along.

We could but not sure if you are willing to pay the price. :)
A project like that from strt to finish is ALLOT OF WORK. :wacko

To have something like that sculpted, moulded, detailed, casted, trimmed, sanded, prepped, then painted + the cost of labour and materials to make the moulds and the casting... wow... :confused In fact just thinking about it i think i withdraw that we could do it. We can, but.. No. :confused
 
I was gonna say maybe there's a source for the Disney walkaround suit but that one isn't all that great.
 
What TMP said... even though it would be uber cool (and I'd want one, too), it's quite a massive task and expensive even to get something remotely decent. :unsure
 
You could try with a vacu-formed armor with rubber/urethane joints and gloves... This could be a nice option... But if you want to make it killer, you should make a nice foam latex appliance for your face!
:D
 
I have wanted to make this for years. I have a number of projects that I know I want to work on before this would be a possibility, but I'll keep it in mind.:)

Ramiel's right; some kind of shiny plastic looking mask would absolutely top this one off.
 
No matter how nice the suit is, I think that the face would make or break this costume. I would go for prosthetics, so that you can have an articulated face. At least a prosthetic chin. Then glossy make-up to give a plasticy feel.

The armor could be sculpt in cardboard and/or construction foam (the blue or pink variety). You can reinforce it on the inside with papier-maché or even fiberglass, and then fill gaps with bondo on the outside. You could cast it in fiberglass later.
There are various threads on this forum that show examples of such construction techniques. A quick search gives me: Master Chief, Durge, How to make your own spartan helmet, Making a cardboard jango/boba helm.
 
I remember seeing a fan made Buzz outfit a while back that was pretty well done. They used there on face, no mask, and added the chin dimple and rosey checks. I've got it saved on disk somewhere. I'll see if I can dig it up.

-B89! :D
 
There were a couple of Buzz Lightyear suits featured in a couple of episodes of Boston Legal??? Not sure what their origin

I just remembered the "full size" (if Buzz Lightyear were a person rather than a toy) animatronic version in the ride queue at Disney World. I thought it was really neat to see him for "real".

Just think: somewhere, there are molds for those parts.
 
When the original Buzz suits were made, a majority of the body armor was L-200 foam. Years later it became vacuformed plastic.

Seriously.
 
I thought it would be cool to get my hands on one of the "tour" suits that I saw years ago (not the foamy but the hard plastic one).

Here are some pics I found on the net awhile back.

I also have a pic of one at a Mall appearance that I took years ago, I'll have to dig for that one though.

I'm still not sure where you look out of the face, maybe the teeth?

Doug
 
Yes, as can be especially seen in the first pic, the teeth are perforated with holes.

You'd think they're be able to come up with a better shoulder joint to represent the ball joint on the model, though.
 
its funny... it looks like if the little helmet bubble would deploy buzz's head would get split in two... :lol

I think it would be really cool to see an oober accurate Buzz if anyone can pull it off... :)
 
Yup. No WAY that head has enough clearance from the bubble closing. :lol
