Re: yu0r Halloween costumes....
I feel the need to point out that while I'm not really big into cons, assuming you're got half of an idea how to function in normal society (which, admittidly, many don't at cons) you can get more action than you can handle. There is an obscene amount of hanky-panky that goes on at those things. (and the "plague" that everyone gets afterward because one person was sick.)

Re: yu0r Halloween costumes....
Yet another update...
More work done tonight on the PacMan costume. Completed dressing the two mouth sections, got the muslin that goes across the center attached, and one of the two sides is curing as I type this. Today saw a whole lot of troubleshooting with the mouth mechanism. The fabric created a whole lot more friction than I expected, so things weren't working quite they way they were supposed to. I switched from a one rope system to having one pull rope on each side for the mouth. It works much better this way. Also, since the mouth pieces weren't formed quite properly (or the frame, not sure which) they stick out from the frame a little bit so I couldn't wrap the whole thing in muslin because it was causing things to not move. I'm extending the cardboard sides in these areas, going to attach muslin to the cardboard once it's cut to sit a little bit above the mouth pieces, glue it into the rest of the fabric and then paint the whole thing. Hopefully it won't stick out too badly. The respirator has been my friend today. Lots of glue, spray-glue, and expanding foam. Now for pictures. Muslin attached to one side Muslin attached to both sides Expanding foam used to mount the cardboard side to the frame

Re: yu0r Halloween costumes....
A little bit more work done yesterday and today. I had an issue with the mouth pieces getting stuck on the outer fabric, so I cut it away, extended the cardboard sides and re-wrapped those sections with muslin.
Here’s one side done, the other in process One side done The other The lower section re-done These addition caused the mouth pieces to begin sticking on the sides because of the increased tension. A little wheel bearing grease goes a long way to help! Also, bending the cardboard over to loosen things up made things start moving again. My plan had been to cover the cardboard with poster board that I could mate up nicely and make the sides look much cleaner than the cardboard on its own. I have two types of spray-glue, so some test patches were in order. Testing the best way to fit the poster board on I was really excited because it was looking great, especially when I painted it. Fast Forward about ten minutes and the paint over-saturated the poster board and it swelled, bubbled, and molted itself to the cardboard underneath, and thus looked terrible. It looked a lot worse in person than even in the picture. Then today I decided to stretch muslin over the sides as well. I picked up some 90” wide bleached muslin from Jo-Ann’s. Pins helped hold everything in place while I was gluing stuff down.

Re: yu0r Halloween costumes....
The fabric stretched and glued down
The other side I also gave up on using my climbing harness as a hip-belt, it was too hard to get buckled and really dug in. So today I also went to REI and picked up a real hip-belt and lashed it into the pack frame that I’ve already got installed. Now with fabric covering everything and 2/3 of it painted. Tomorrow once this is all dry I’ll flip it over and do the other side. I also just foamed-in the first of the two speakers. It’s kind of hard to see, but it’s surely not going anywhere. The Pac-Man noises are sure to drive me nuts by the end of the weekend.
