Me as Wikus van de Merwe - District 9

[Mike J.]

This is me at work today as 'eviction notice Wikus,' as distinct from 'office Wikus,' 'infected Wikus,' 'escapee Wikus,' 'MNU break-in Wikus,' etc.

:lol

I hope you affected the appropriate condescending manner towards your co-workers while in costume. :sleep

"Don't worry about the vest, man."

"Hey, don't p:ss on your own property!"

I neglected to hold up a soda can and say, "You can see, it has the markings here, but ... it's not a weapon."

:lol

Love it! Well done. thumbsup

 

[Mike J.]

Thank you very much

Not entirely accurate, I know, but pretty darn close. I am wearing a printed & laminated version of my ID tag I showed previously. That and the MNU patch(es) are the only 'made from scratch' elements. Just about everything else is a 'found object' - purchased for this purpose or already owned. Not visible in this photo: stun baton & holster and blue clip-folder with eviction paperwork.

More pix and maybe a WIP tomorrow.

I'm doing a last-minute Wikus as well
Well, last-week-or-so.

Hand from roofing sealant, a sock, and hose... Gun is a last minute Nerf conversion.

Liking what I see here

 

[Mike J.]

Good luck, Rev.

It's 3:34am and I'm still painting cheapo Nerf knockoffs white, grey and orange!

I love hallowe'en...

I was up 'til one AM Thursday night (or, rather, Friday morning) working on mine :lol

Great Jobthumbsup You just needed to print out the tabloid from the paper props section and walk around saying: "I would never have sexual relations with some creature"...or you could carry around a candy wrapper and say:"Hello, little guy! It's the sweetie man coming":lol

 

[Scapey]

Did someone actually upload a scan of the tabloid?
I ended up doing my own one from the pic of the open print on the maker's floor, added some non-D9 related comedy stories in "That's Life Magazine!"

Here is one more pic of me in full costume, and a few pics of the costume components, with information on what they are & where they're from:

I just pre-ordered the Arc Gun to do a "MNU break-in Wikus" costume, If someone wants to do this costume too I just did a quick research and found out the vest Wikus is wearing in the break-in sequence:

I just acquired this... Again, not 100% but pretty close

 

[mrbungle]

the vest is a woodland camo interceptor vest fomr the us military, with no kevlar or paltes in it. you can tell by the way it moves when he wears in the attack on mnu.

Awesome!! I loved that movie. At one point I wanted to try and make a prawn hand like Wikus, but I still haven't done it lol. Great work
