Working on my Casey Jones costume for Halloween!

Setzer · 08-08-2012, 08:28 AM

I usually start ramping up the ideas I've collected from Nov 1st from the year before and put them into reality.

Just some history:

2007- Mad Hatter
Sorry couldn't find pictures

2008- Beaker

Spoiler:

2009 - Gambit

Spoiler:

2010 - Rorshach

Spoiler:

2011 - Swedish Chef

Spoiler:

2012: Casey Jones!

I've got to make my own makeshift cricket bat, hockey stick, and golf bag. I also will of course be making my own mask. Here is what I have so far, i'll be putting polymer clay over this then adding more clay to get the finer details in place.

Spoiler:

Anyway I'll be back with more pictures as I make them.

Anyone else getting ready? I tend to start building costumes around this time to have them ready to go!

looks pretty good so far. looking forward to seeing the final product!

Nice work so far. How will you be smoothing out the edges? Have you thought about doing pepakura for the mask?

I did see that method, I wanted to use clay mostly because its accessible for me, and I like that type of art

using my hands and such.

Awesome, can't wait to see more progress picks!

I'll get them up asap. Been busy working on a basement cracks sadly

but I will get to it soon. I always have everything done by the big day

Setzer · 08-10-2012, 09:09 AM

Updated original post, I put up some of my previous costumes

.

Should have my hockey stick done this weekend.

cool costumes! The casey mask is definitely taking shape. FYI, it looks like youre using cardboard, it might be easier if you used chip board, either a 2 or 3 ply for the mask. its much easier to work with.

Setzer · 08-10-2012, 12:56 PM

Chip board? Where can I get that?

MethodMan · 08-10-2012, 01:38 PM

The mask looks cool so far but no comparison against Beaker - love it!

Im sure Michaels, or any crafts/art supply store will have it. It comes in about 3X4' sheets. usually brown, same color as cardboard. I use it a lot for making model buildings and so on.

started work on the hockey stick, luckily found a decent golf bag and club i can borrow

.

Broc Longstaff · 08-26-2012, 07:26 PM

Excited to see the final results!

Setzer · 10-16-2012, 12:01 PM

Found a wig, and I still need to cover the mask with clay or epoxy or something. I changed the golf bag, I have gloves now, sweats, jeans, shirt all of it.

cricket bat is all i am missing lol.

Heckster · 10-18-2012, 10:21 AM

Cant wait to see the final product!

Setzer · 10-28-2012, 12:15 AM

**Jester** · 10-28-2012, 12:54 AM
