The Last Dragon Sho Nuff Costume

[agliarept]

Thanks to my gf she thought I should be the Sho Nuff for Halloween this year. I have to admit, i've been slacking since i usually am working on my costume during the summer. thankfully I mocked up what I'd look as the sho nuff on photoshop.

I'l start piecing together my costume little by little and updating this thread. something I intend on doing is working with EL wire or something flexible enough to "outline" my hand so it glows red like in the film.

Hardest part of my costume is done!!! gonna tape them to my fingers and wrist to prevent from coming off but it's flexible and bright in the daylight and BRIGHT at night. powered by a small inverter off 2 AA cells. I GOTS THE GLOW!!!!

hehe thanks! i can't wait to get my costume set up. hopefully this week(end) il actually be able to put it all one and show it off. Even found the perfect wig for it. it's called "the hustlah wig" lol. its dead on sho nuff just need to trim and spruce the top.

forgive those shades, they were some i found at the stores. I have the volpinis shutter shades like the ones used for the film. I'm gonna rock this costume hard all over NYC lol

Yul Brenner's Ultimate Warrior or the WWF's Ultimate Warrior? I went like in 99' I believe as the wresting one..people loved it..had the painted duster coat look..tassels on boots..alot of fun. The Sho Nuff costume is looking pretty good..love the glowing hand idea as well...loved that movie..big Bruce Lee fan....and Vanity was just hot as ....... :love

My Sho Nuff costume is done!!! not as accurate with the belt and cape but close enough that it pulls the looks together and i will be warm with this frigid weather were going to have in NY. Hope you guys dig it!!!!!

I will make some minor changes and the beard i painted on photoshop lol.
