@thecountofzero: it was made with a black, spandex undersuit base and fun foam that was cut, shaped and plasti-dipped.
i want it.
Yep, i'll definitely need to see through this thing. I'm going to make a model using some liquid plastic from Smooth-On, Inc. - Mold Making & Casting Materials Rubber, Plastic, Lifecasting, and More, (pretty good site if you're trying to do this kind of thing, this is my first attempt, but they have a lot of how-to videos to help out).
From the model, I'll cut out what i perceive as the visor,and vacuum form some plexi for it. I'm planning that the the natural lines of the helmet will help blend the visor in, but I do expect some contrast between the tint of the visor, and the darkness of the helmet --hoping for the best.

Suggestions welcome! as always
Hi everyone! I have been reading up on this forum for over a week! I desperately want to have an awesome TRON costume for Halloween. I even put aside a $150 budget for it. Initially I thought it would be very simple, but the more I read, the more discouraged I get. I am in no way arts and crafts savvy. I want to do the el wire route, but I don't think I would be able to pull it off. I just don't have the knowledge or skill. I know an easy solution is the reflective tape, but much like many of you, I want that real life glow soooo bad! I want this suit so bad, but I am afraid it will never happen. Any advice or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated!
