Haha, I'm not sharing her with anyone ;) She is finally finished. Behold: Thank you for all the possitive feedback! A lot of time and effort was spent creating her :)

Great costumes! Hope everyone had a good time. Here is what I ended up with...

Lol John Freeman... nah just some random rebel guy :)

I'm sure it'll look great mate! Sounds like a fine effort and I'm sure people will get it. My HL2 rebel costume is far from perfect but again, it's similar enough to be recognised.... hopefully! We need more pics people! I'll post some of mine later when I get back from work :)

"It'll be fine... probably just a toy."

I've never tried that before... sounds messy! I LOVE IT :laugh: Please show us some pics, even if it does go horribly wrong :E Usually I just buy a load of cheap halloween blood packs from a budget store and use red paint on darker clothes. Does the job! Those face / mud packs really do work...

Charity shops are a must for sure! Very useful for finding cheap film props and fancy dress items... This may be a long shot (not even sure if this is the right area lol) but have a look here. I'd check some of these out if you haven't done so already as you never know :) Ah, sleeps...

Funny you should ask! I have recently created two costumes... one is a HL2 rebel / resistance fighter costume that I'm wearing for an expo this weekend and the other is a HL2 zombie costume for Halloween. I have been toying with the idea of making a HL2 resistance fighter zombie and will...

Why thank you :) It has been a really fun project to work on and something I have wanted to do for years. The first layer we painted consisted of white acrylic paint to ensure the newspaper text was completely obscured. We initially had problems with a bottle of orange acrylic paint that we...

Red brown and green... loads of dirt! And if you want to add a bit of texture / flaking skin, apply a dark green or brown (or both?!) mudpack to parts of your arms and face... then just let it dry :)

Loving the budget Gordon Freeman costume :D Maybe one day! The following pictures are from my costume! Well, the top part at least :) Some earlier pictures taken during construction can be found here. Just need to add a bit (or lots) of blood :E

Hello everyone! Allow me to introduce you to the most important part of my halloween costume... Crustina the headcrab! I know I'm not the first person to make a headcrab but I thought some of you might like to see our efforts! I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but my...
