Ashzification Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Well, it isn't a costume, but our server decorated our spawn for Halloween, could I post that here? I think we did a rather good job at it Edit: A few more can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/rlF3K#0 Quote
Cheap Shot Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 This thread is now the official Halloween megathread. Talk about anything related to Halloween no more restrictions! (Besides the obvious "don't break the forum rules") Quote
GreenWolf13 Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 I'm gonna dress up as Cheap Shot for halloween! J/k, I don't dress up for Halloween anymore. I've discovered that All Hallows Eve is a great time to play computer games online, as most of the immature little babies and trolls are off trick-or-treating. Quote

GreenWolf13 Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Charged creeper with a hardhat. Creeper: "That's a very nice Halloween Megathread you have there. Be a shame if someone were to derail it." Cheap Shot: "Oh Fuck No!" Creeper: *Derails thread* Cheap Shot: " This is why I can't have nice things." Quote
Cheap Shot Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 Wanting to make a NCR vet ranger costume for halloween. http://www.therpf.com/f24/fallout-new-vegas-ncr-veteran-ranger-finished-101257/ Like that /\/\ I'm stuck on the helmet though. Tried unfolding a 3d model and printing it. Cut out all the bits and have to trace them onto foam core and have no idea what goes where anymore ugh. What a pain. I've got all the materials I need though. Don't know if I can possibly do it in time though, I'm moving into a new apartment Nov 1st and have a wedding to go to the weekend before. Gotta pack. And still I find time to make nice threads for people that don't know how to read. Quote

Do you have anything for the breathing mask? Quote

Do you have anything for the breathing mask? Yeah I'll post build pics when I have something to show. I've got a respirator I'm going to cannibalize for parts. Gotta do everything twice. My girlfriend and I are both making ranger costumes. She's got a different costume for Halloween though. Rufio from Hook. Quote

My girlfriend and I are both making ranger costumes. She's got a different costume for Halloween though. Rufio from Hook. Rufio is that asian with the red spiky hair right? That sounds like a fun costume as well. The respirator sounds like a good idea. Something you could use for the helmet is a Swedish Steel Military helmet... It might to too heavy/ungainly though. They do look very similar to the Rangers helmet though. Pretty sure there is a site that you can order them from for like 25$ or so... EDIT: Here is a pic of the helmet: Quote
Cheap Shot Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 Oh, no cant use a real helmet. Have to be able to cut it. I've already taken care of the heltmet need. Got some pretty sturdy prop helmets that I'll be able to cut no problem. Quote

Cheap Shot Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 I'm not looking forward to the jacket. I've bought a cheap brown leather trench that's too large. Going to try and cut it down and use the spare leather to add the duster shoulder cover and make the collar taller. Working leather is a pain though. No clue if I can do it properly. The benifit of doing a fallout costume though is that no matter what crude hackjob you do it fits the theme! :D Quote
Ashzification Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 If you had given a bit of notice, I could have mailed you a mask (discontinued army) /grumble Can you send a pic of the trench coat? I could probably think of an easy way to convert the look Quote
Hushful Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 I'd love to do a video game themed halloween costume, sadly and awesomely though, my kids get to every year. This year, It's Mario and Luigi. I was going to be Bowser and the wife was going to be Peach but we got too busy for our costumes, but the kids costumes are done. Quote
Watchful11 Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 This is not mine, but seriously, its awesome. Quote
Cheap Shot Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 Edit: /\ I wanted to do a 4 legged stilts costume this year but because of the move I don't have the time/space/budget. Maybe next year. I'd love to do a video game themed halloween costume, sadly and awesomely though, my kids get to every year. This year, It's Mario and Luigi.

That's a shame. Would have been pretty great. Last year we did it right! I was the Cat in the Hat, the kids were Things 1 & 2, and the wife was the Big Red Box. It was awesome and they got so much stuff it was ridiculous. Quote
Cheap Shot Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Progress update. Probably wont be done by Halloween but I'm doing better then I thought I would! Quote
Hushful Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 That's cool as shit. Awesome job so far, Cheap shot. Quote
Jorcer Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 That looks great! I love the mask. How long did it take you to convert it? Quote
