Some questions for you Modus. How long did that take to make it all together? Did you go tricker treating with that on, and if so did anyone recognize the costume?
Btw awesome awesome job with the whole costume, you should be a costume designer one day
It took me 30 hours of actual work including the ubersaw. Bear in mind though, that I had to wait for the paint to dry, and also I used epoxy putty as an adhesive for the ubersaw, so I had to wait for that to harden as well (4-5 hours per application). I'm not including that in my estimate since I wasn't actually working during that time. If you want the number of days from start to finish, though, it took me two weeks. I am a full time student and working two part-time jobs, though.
I didn't go trick-or-treating since I went trick-or-drinking the previous night and had lots of homework. I did go to work/school with it. Not a whole lot of people recognized who I was except for my ENTIRE computer science class lol and some guys on campus that were yelling "MEDIC! COME ON, DOC!" at me.
And thanks for the wonderful compliments! I love making costumes. I made one of Megabyte from ReBoot, but the pants kind of... exploded and I didn't bother to go back and fix it. I also made one of the Joker and I'm working on a Klingon uniform.

woooow I look ridiculous. Awkward freshman is awkward. I think this was even back before I knew I had a visual impairment. So weird, it was before my parents moved into their new place too o_o

...and here's the one that started it all! Kind of lame but it was my first sewing project ever (I seem to have lost the picture of me actually wearing it):

I was supposed to be a vampire but the fabric store was out of just black fabric for the cape so... it has leaves on it T_T lol
</plug>
I was also planning on making starfleet uniforms/com badges for me and my ex, but I never got around to it--don't think he was too interested. Lamesauce.
