Awesome, I'll have to look into this when I get to the helmet.

Oh man this is good stuff! I knew there had to be an easier way than this.. I'm very new to electronics and stuff, so this will help me out big time for my next costume! Cannot thank you enough. Also, what kind of fan are you using? I was looking around but I couldn't find a small one to fit in...

Each light is a 5mm LED driven by 3V. Each part of the suit has it's own circuit (one arm has 3 lights and a 9V battery and a switch, chest part has 9 lights and 3 9V batteries and a switch, and so on..) It's a little annoying turning all the lights on since there is a total of 5 switches, but...

Thank you!! That means alot

Thank you! I love me some lights in a cosplay, they add a whole new element which makes the costume look so much more awesome.

Hello everyone! I just thought i'd share some photos with everyone since i finally got to wear the costume in public this weekend!! I was at Stockholm Comic Con and it was super fun, enjoy. Sadly I saw no other spartans :( We're a little short on spartans here in sweden. Anyway I...

Yes the feet do look like horse hooves :D Since the dummy is attached with rods through the legs into the wooden slabs, I can't put the shoes on.

As i promised, here are some pics of the suit with the lights! The last two pictures are taken when it's dark outside so that no light comes through the window, you can really see the differance, it shines pretty bright! The gloves are not attached properly, that's why it looks so goofy :D

Finally made an armor stand for my costume! Now it stands like this in my room, watching me at all times. Under the armor is a duct tape dummy that I made a while ago. Inside the dummy is two wooden round bars that go from the neck down each leg, and then they go into two holes in the wooden...

Thank you, that means alot!

I see! Yeah Arizona sounds a little hot, I live in Sweden so I'm lucky :D It's super cold here

That's a good question. I don't know the exact amount of hours i put into this, but it must've been somwhere around 200 hours. I started the project in the beginning of may, and finished it the 8th of july I think. I worked almost everyday (maybe 5 days a week), between 4 and 8 hours each day...

Thank you! The movement is not too bad. I explained a while ago in a previous post how the abs piece and the chest piece are two seperate parts. This means it's easy to bend my upper body forward and backward. I can also rotate my upper body easily. There is one problem when it comes to the...

Thank you!! I was much happier with the weathering on this suit compared to my previous one, but I still have MUCH to learn when it comes to painting and using different weathering techniques. About the barrel, you're absolutely correct, it's not straight in all the pictures.. That is because i...

Thank you so much, it means alot!! Yes so the ab piece itself has very limited movement, but that part is not stuck to the chest piece! It simply ends about where my ribs start, just enough so that the chest piece covers the uncovered area of my body. this means I can somewhat bend forward and...
