So, yesterday was Halloween. My understanding from non-Americans is that Halloween as not as big a deal overseas as it is here in the states. Here - it's a big deal, and not only for kids. So, when my oldest son said he wanted to be a space marine, I knew I needed to step up and make his dream come true. Urh, with a limited budget . . . and little time . . . and no talent.
I looked all over the inter webs, and found lots of templates and examples of prop-shop lackies who spent thousands on building fiberglass helmets and vacu-formed armour. I found nothing that would help me throw something together in a few days with the materials at hand. So, I basically went cheap, quick and easy. If I can you do it, so can you!
