RSSCardboard robot Halloween costume of doom
John posted up his "Cardboard robot Halloween costume of doom" for the MAKE & CRAFT Halloween contest along with how he made it! - "The whole thing was bonded together with tape (clear packing and gaffers), hot glue, and lots of brass paper brads. I used dryer hose for the arms and as it had to fit up to my shoulders I clipped the wires in them for about eight inches on the inside at the tops and covered them with some gaffers tape so I wouldn't get poked. I tied them together with two short sections of rope,one across my chest and the other on my back. This kept the sleeves from coming off and falling to my wrists. I added some cardboard cuffs to hide the claw interface." [via] - Link & photos.
