[Trout]

Very cool, man!

2 questions:
1. What does that backpack weigh?
2. What did you use for the dome?

I am interested in the dome as well. Looks like a lot of hard work paid off..well done.

Very cool, man!

2 questions:
1. What does that backpack weigh?
2. What did you use for the dome?

1. about 65 lbs . not to bad with the belt strap.i made it to where it rests evenly on my shoulders, not just straps. it feels tight to get into like a real space suit.
2 . (LordCaharin) as wall. I got the "dome" from a Lamp Globes USA. I used a 24" polycarbonate globe and cut it into sections so as the dome can open and close on Buzz.The polycarbonate was a bit more pricy than acrylic but was worth it . I have dropped it a number of times and it has not scratched or cracked(knock on wood).

thanks for looking everyone.

I plan to be at ECCC this year, and was just thinking last night how cool a buzz Lightyear cosplay would be. Can't wait to see if you do indeed break it out again this weekend.

Cool!

I did the same thing last year, got a hell of a reaction from people at PAX2011 and ECCC in 2012. I might dust it off and redo some of the more troubled places for a V2 of it next year.

Hahaha hat is soo sweet! Brilliant work.
Just sorting that acrylic dome out was a task in itself!
You win!!
