"Come with me if you want to live" - Reese Costume

[ShaneHelms]

I've been working on this costume concurrently with my T-800 costume. Decided to make my own costume thread instead of continuing to post my progress in another member's thread. Like my Terminator costume this one is nearly 100% complete. I'm still working on tracking down an airsoft replica of the Ithaca M37 used by Reese in the film, though the same guy who helped me track down my AR-18 is assisting me, so I feel pretty safe I will be able to obtain one. The last part of the costume left to finish is the paint design on the pants which is quite tricky for such a thrown together splatter design, though I'm nearly finished with them however but I will be giving the paint job a second coat to increase durability. Here's what I have so far though.

Shoes


Coat

Looks really good

 

[ShaneHelms]

Thanks man, means a lot since your Reese costume is excellent as well. If you like I can hook you up with the lady who made my shirt for me.

[ShaneHelms]

Thanks man. Just saving up to buy myself an Ithaca Riot Gun like Reese's and I'll be 100%.

Decided to take some updated shots.

Scored a second pair of Vandals my exact size also. These being slightly worn I'll be using them for my costume for sure and keep my other's mint not worrying about scuffing etc. them while wearing my costume. Always a wise investment regarding a spare pair of something this rare.

They are lovely Shane, i would rather have them than the 2015 Vandles anyday...

 

[ShaneHelms]

Makes two of us. Just glad I got a spare pair so I can wear them more freely while in costume.
