I'm sure many of you have seen this costume of the green army guy:






I know there isn't a lot of time, but I was wondering if anyone has any ideas how to replicate this? As is, how did he get the color perfect on everything? Getting a toy helmet and gun are fine, I see his clothes are tarps, boots are.... ? And the color of everything matches perfect, including his skin. Any ideas?

 

that looks awesome

 

I could use a the nurse... I think I just hurt myself....

 

thats crazy lol

Same way this dude made this...





Now that is scary.......

 

This is all I got so far... working on a black cloak and trying to figure out what kind of weapon I am going to use.

 

^ Neato! ^

I'd suggest a black/dark maroon cloak... with a bloody dagger.

 

I did some looking around and found out the dude made the shirt and pants himself out of a green tarp. Then had paint color matched at home depot to paint the helmet, boots,gun and his face

I'm wondering how a green rain jacket and pants would look? I think it would work well as long as you can get the paint to match and makeup for your face. Not sure I would put paint n my skin..LOL

I also seen where guys used green stockings for their face. That would work good to, but would make it hard to drink beer

Let me know if you do this. I might try to.

Yeah I see that he must have sewn up tarps - I'm guessing the rest isn't spray paint but rather liquid latex? Do a search and it's pretty much nuts on.

I'm hoping to try this although I think I'll just prep for next year - there isn't enough time for me to get everything together b4 this weekend, especially with work and all. Nonetheless, I'll try to keep this going if it progresses
