Im a pretty big Halloweener. Usually end up spending 20+ hours on my costumes. This year was a little less but a pretty detailed costume none the less.
Me and 5 of my buddies are going as the guys from Top Gun. I put about 10 hours into duplicating the vinyl and making the changes necessary to the helmet alone. Should be a great time at the parties!
Would love to see anyone elses costumes, post em up!
Purchased a "motorcycle" helmet from China

Cut a slit for the actual lens visor lock used, painted lens cover and started vinyl work

Laid the rest of the vinyl on the back

I even bought an MA-2 ejection seat parachute harness!
Turned out pretty good for spending > $400 (compared to buying a real helmet etc)
Cant wait to see what everyone else has done!
