Green Theorem

I've been thinking it over for a while and have pretty much decided to construct a hunter costume. I was hoping to bounce some methods/ideas for it off this community for some tips and such. It would be a life size hunter costume so I'm guessing around 9 or 10 feet tall. To compensate for this, the bottom half of the leg would be solid instead of just stilts. For the lack of eyes, the method I thought of would be kind of complicated but effective nonetheless. It would consist of one or several small cameras mounted within the helmet connected to one or several LCD screens mounted within the helmet. Due to it's large size, I would most likely be able to fit many accessories and have room for air flow. As for building materials, I was thinking a simple pepakura build/process for the armor and foam strips for the skin. Being constructed as one gigantic piece, the back would contain an "easy access" point or panel to enter/exit the suit. Within the head would be a microphone attached to a somewhat small speaker (just for talking to people). Also within the suit, I would most likely include something similar to a camel pack but build into the suit and can be easily filled with the back panels open. Finally, for the coup de grace, an pre-recorded sound file of the various hunter sounds played controlled to be played through a large speaker for that menacing roar.
