wow, I just tried my whole costume on for the first time and it is HOT. That latex paint job does not all any sort of air flow at all! Hoping for a cold front down here in Houston!

Ya I'm hoping for a cool night also.

Do you have any pics of your costume?

What's your plan for hands and head? You going the home depot paint route? Are you going to use painted gloves or paint your hands? I haven't decided on any of that yet.

Any pic of peoples costumes?

sorry, i thought i put my pictures on already. None of me wearing it yet though.





Like I said, its a bit darker than yours is Indeva, but I think it will look good. And I am planning on just using that latex paint to do my face and hands. Its only a couple hours, whats the worst that could happen? lol

Ive seen the Disney costumes the actors wear in the parade, but cant find any other phots of people doing this them self.

Any ideas other than a tarp?

I was going to mention the disney guys too. Also, maybe you can go to an army surplus store and get a uniform, then just paint it all an even color?

what do you think? any suggestions?

Does anyone else have photos of theirs?

Ya mine is a little more neon color, I wish I would have done a darker green. Owell.

Yours looks great! I really like the color. Post some photos when you try it on!

I cant find a face paint or body paint close to the color I need. I got a few shades of green and some white to see if I can blend it to the right color but I was also thinkg of just doing the latex paint.

Im cautious of the face and around the eyes. Ill throw it on my neck arms and hands but the face?

I found this thread a few weeks ago and thought this would be a cool costume to try for myself. I'm very impressed with the other green army man costumes I've seen here and in other threads. I'm pretty happy with the way mine turned out and I even won most creative at the party I went to!
