First attempt at Halloween Costume: Tauntaun

[ImmortanJoe]

Hello everyone, this is two firsts for me. First RPF post and first hand made costume for my son. I've always been s huge fan of the Tauntaun and when my son saw an inflatable one he was like I wanna be that. I couldn't in my right mind put him in such an abomination. After alittle internet searching I said to myself I can do this. It took a couple of weeks and a heck of a lot of Gorilla tape and Barge's cement (I can't sew). A shout out to Paco Allen for the idea of using cement form tubes as the underlying structure. Here are some pics of the project in progress and then some of the final build.

That's awesome! Where did u get the head/arms (assuming you sourced them)? Nice work. Your son must have been as proud as you!

The head was a plastic sheep mask I got online. I cut the ears off so I could move them further back on the head. The arms where cut off a stuffed dragon costume, 0riginally it was green so I sprayed em gray. It was a just time saving measure, I tapped them higher on the body so they would be less obvious.
