Thanks for the compliment.
It was actually more cost effective to build than I thought. The materials I used were, cardstock ($5), resin (about $25), model magic ($50), paint ($40), and the marbles ($2), oh and about 50 hot glue sticks ($6) and the craft foam ($7) so all told it was about $135. When you spread that out over a couple of months its not too bad.

This is so fantastic. You have just made my list of coolest dads ever. Of course Peter Griffon and Al Bundy are on the list too, but you shouldn't take that as a bad thing. Seriously though, this is the kind of memory i know your son will cherish for the rest of his life. He looks so perfect in these pics I know he is gonna be the coolest kid in school now!

Wow that may be one of the coolest kid costumes I've ever seen! Your son is so lucky to have that awesome suit. Great job, and I think I speak for us all when I say: MOAR PHOTOS.

That's wicked awesome!
Now you'll have to build him an Elite for when he's older.

It would be a fun Halo-ween costume (like what I did there), but I would have to carry the candy bag for him, oh and he would probably get tired after walking half a block!

Well that is my girlfriends dream costume, so that will be my next big project. This little guy was good for training and figuring things out.

Wow!! Great job so far! Eager to see the finished product. Are you guys going to any other conventions besides your local comic shops? I think we all want to see this little guy in his costume in person. How heavy is it on him? My son is way to little for this but he gets a kick out of watching me play with the party favor skull on. He shouts yay along with the head shots.

ths is possibly one of the best builds i have ever seen! so much detail in the grunt! you should make a little plasma pistol for him, becuase then it would be possibly even more epic! honestly cannot wait to see the finished costume.

When this is fully finished i think it needs to be in the Elite area.

That grunt looks so good!? I'm gonna have a kid just to build him a grunt costume.. ok maybe not..but nice job anyways! ^_^
To answer your question, if the mods or admins think that a costume/prop is well enough made, etc. Your thread is moved into the elite portion of the forums.Well thats nice of you.
