Actually I have no pics but last Tuesday night there was a children's event at one of my jobs and I (in my Boba) was one of the employees costuming and helping out with kids games for 4 hours.

I suited up, took my dog for a walk, and then patrolled my woods waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive...

Handed out treats

Post by seven skulls »

This is me handing out treats to kids in the neighborhood.
I wore my flightsuit and balaclava, then pulled black pantyhose down over my eyeglasses. The kids couldn't tell if I was alive or just a stuffy guy when they walked up.
It's fun to see them jump when I get up.
I had a gas, the flightsuit worked really great with this mask.

After 2+ years of working on it, you bet I wore this! One little boy (about 4) dressed as Vader was so in awe that he just stood there with his mom looking at me for a good 10 minutes, and then they came back later because he wanted to see me again. That was great.

Oh, and everyone asked if I was a Nazi. Though the highlight of my night was walking past a bar and one of the bouncers walked out and yelled "HEY, F**K THE EMPIRE, GO REBELS!" to which I yelled "LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR!"

I guess the only "acceptable" photos...

First is of me on stage prior to being crowned first place ultimate victor! (a 1/4 barrel party & 5 pizzas)... There is a great 10 second video of us all dancing, that really is better (the lighting in this photo makes it look nice and bright, it really was just when the stage lights flashed...) I'm trying to get a copy of the video, as it was just tagged on facebook.

Image

This one is of me the next night shooting at Rebel Scum...really it was some dude in a V for Vendetta costume, but it was still fun.

Image


I realize the imperfections in my suit... like my lenses, yeah, gotta get some silver ones. My gloves ended up being to small, the emblem under them also kept showing, I couldn't find any approvable gloves...gotta work on that.. and they kept showing my skin; and yeah, no flaming on the blue pauldrun. (I also realize I have it on "wrong", but it kept sliding horribly down the front of my right arm...)

How does everyone keep their neck guard up? Mine kept slipping!

Image

No comment. Guess I was just too sweet she had to be a little naughty!

Ah, I am a ghost! There is one picture with smoke in the backround, I suppose it's worth seeing...

Image

The buttons aren't on yet, haven't had much time with the suit, but will have it done this week, painted by the next!
