About my costume: My costume is Benny, from the Lego movie. The reason I am doing Benny is our share for love of spaceships. Benny is my favorite character from the movie and I knew he was to be my costume from the first time I saw the movie.
How I created it: For this costume I mainly used cardboard and tape, along with some paint. I took a random Lego man and measured the different parts of its legs and other parts. Then I drew it up on graph paper (pic 1-2) to scale then used an algorithm to size it up to fit me.
Challenges: There has been many setbacks in this build so far including misplacement and bad measuring. Another challenge is that I am really bad at focusing and get distracted a lot.
My skill and experience: Being the first costume I have made almost all alone means that I have little experience. True, and false. I have helped Guri (my mom) with my costume last year and learned enough to get started.
