Another new member, mine isn’t as accurate as mparent's but I still got a great effect in public.

Supplies I found from an army surplus store:
Generic Canadian gas mask
Army helmet inner part
head lamp using 4 aa batteries
army belt painted dark brown
ammo pouch used for gas mask hose
Dickies coveralls weathered with some rough sand paper

Supplies I got from Hardware store:
Axe handle
basic black gloves
shop-vac vacuum hose
shelf brackets used for supporting foam axe picks

Found at a vintage store:
real leather boots I may use for future costumes (such as mad max)

Misc:
Packaging foam from a computer box shaped into axe pic



I wanted to do a DIY for the axe but got so cought up in building it on time and my camera was not charged I didnt get a chance to. I basically duct taped 2 shelf brackets onto the top of an axe handle and found some computer packing foam that padds the computer inside the box, its really flexible and dourable. Shaped and hot glued the foam onto the brackets and handle then painted it up. The paint flakes off when the foam is bent but it didnt matter, It was such an awesome prop to carry arround with me in West Hollywood Halloween night.

Pics of my costume that wouldnt post yesterday:

Very scary z50 Jumper! Looks like you're on the prawl inside an office! Great costume & prop... Hey, I won scariest costume at an annual local city Halloween party with my Miner's costume from My Bloody Valentine. Fun times!

If its any help at all, i went as Harry Warden this year, and what i used was:

1 GP-7V russian gas mask(off ebay)
1 Blue Dickies Jumpsuit
1 Roll of sump pump tube (bought at menards, only about two or three feet)
1 Pair of work boots
1 Pair of generic black gloves
1 generic brown belt
1 large campbels soup can, painted army green (mock filter)
1 Yellow Helmet w/ Head light, painted Black (from village hat store)
1 black turtle neck
1 Under Armor face mask

I didn't make a fake pick axe. But it was still awesome.
another thing i did was, take some of the red food gel you use to write on cakes, and smear it on the silver vent in front of the mask. It dries and makes a great effect.
One problem with the helmet light is its not very bright and its got a weird switch on it. It runs off two AA bateries. You can buy a brighter bulb for it at radio shack. I rigged it with a new switch and it works really well.

Hope this helps,

Bill
