My Not-So-Screen-Accurate Marty McFly Halloween Costume

[CB2001]

Yea a picture would be great as well...thanks

Okay. Here it is. Like I said, not really accurate. I also forgot to mention that the lids were screwed down and I took two extra lids I had left over, painted them silver and glued them into the center to hide the screws.

BTW, the tutorial I used to make it is from Indy Mogul's Backyard FX. You can watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-o5Xnq-HdU

No problem. But I definitely recommend following the tutorial on the BFX video (just note, you'll have to get the labels of the Hoverboard from either here at the RPF (which may require the use of a Kinkos or another printing company) or find something of equal size (which I had to do, so that I could print out the labels on regular sheets of paper to be able to tape them together with double-sided tape). You'll have to use screencaps for cutting out the pieces from foamcore board.

Speaking of which, I also recommend using pink insulation foam from any home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowes in place of the foamcore board when you're doing the body (you could use foamcore board, but it's difficult cutting and sanding down the rounded edges. At least with using the pink foam, there's three advantages: 1. cuts down on the cutting the pieces out. 2. less problem with sanding the edges. 3. You will have a lot of leftover pink foam for any other projects you may want to do (such as more Hoverboards, or even other props). And I also recommend using the Folgers Fresh Seal re-sealable lids for the Hoverpads (of course, I have seen at least one person who has actually created them with foamcore board and used bondo to create a much smoother surface), if you can't find tuperware that is rounded enough in the same fashion as the ones in the video (which I had difficulty finding).
