For Halloween this year I tried my hand at pepakura for the first time with a very limited budget. I ended up only spending 90 dollars U.S. I rushed it quite a bit and finished it (if you want to call it that) Halloween morning. I didnt use that much bondo for smothing and really wish I did, but time did not allow that so yes, it does look rough. I made my gattling laser and electron charge pack for free out of craft foam board that people use for display backboards. I try to use as much freebies as I can which really cut down on cost. Here is a pic that my girlfriend took outside of the place where the costume contest I went to was held. I got 5th place to 4 store bought costumes. Blah. Here are some pics.
This is how it sits in my dining room as of right now next to my first costume I mad from cardboard for last years Halloween. It is autobot Ratchet and I only spent 10 dollars on it. I got most of the materials for free from work. I work at a convention center and people leave behind lots of goodies. The 10 dollars was for white duct tape and some red paint, I had the rest. The headlights work and the ambulance lights on the back flash red and blue.
Let me know what ya'll think!
