Thread: 8 yo jason stalkabout..

Tweet

Ok after the disappointment of my son being Jason this year for halloween we came up with a compromise. He is going to be Jason's victim with jason behind him with my son having a machete in the head. Here are some pics of the start. It is basically a pvc "backpack." The T fittings at the top and bottom are for something for the future. The PVC backpack is a "closed" system so that i can put fittings at the top and bottom to seal it off for something cool in the future.

Anyways here are pics of the backpack and the armature for holding "jason." Now to get the costume and fit it up so that it looks more "life like" in size.

Enjoy!

Awsome. Cant wait to see the finished pics.

That's an awesome concept. I can't wait to see it finished

got the "clothes" last night for jason and some other pieces i need to help "fill out" the body without adding too much weight. Hopefully be able to post more pics up tonight as i get more done.

here is one i did that was same idea i salvaged a back pack and some pvc as a frame

NICE!! I got the frame almost done, had to redo since he is 8years old. Need to change the center of gravity of the pvc cage. It was pulling back too much and hard to get around. I am also trying to lighten it up. I was hoping to use regular pants but i think they are going to be too heavy for the costume. May have to make some out of lighter weight cloth.

Very cool, if you need a good hockey mask let me know, I'll send you one. I have a few lying around...lol

awesome idea!

That looks great! Can't wait for the final product!

Thanks for the compliments. I had to change the design some as the center of gravity was off and made it seem "heavier" than what it was. I brought the base closer to the "backpack." It has helped. Need to figure out how to fill out the pants. (not use to wearing them since the wife wears them all the time.) :lol:

The machete is almost done so now it is just the fine touches. Wanted to put boots on the costume but seems to be a littel difficult to walk and move. Was going to attach the boots to my son's shoes. I should have new pics up this week. So much to do so little time.
