Duct Tape HeroesThe Wolverine costume / X-men Uniform is around 90% duct tape (silver inside and black outside). The other 10% is foam, velcro, string, buckles, leather gloves/boots and claws. Iron Man is cardboard and red/yellow duct tape over black clothes and ski boots. Batman is a mix of leftovers but the mask, gauntlet and armour are mostly black duct tape. Normally these would be hot costumes to wear, but with phase change cooling packs, they're quite comfortable indoors or out. |

Pop Tab WarriorsThe 2 piece eco-couture female chainmail armour outfits (& earrings) were made exclusively from recycled beer, juice and pop cans, mostly by weaving strips of metal from the side through the pull tabs. For the 1 piece and male armour suits, I decided to use a little string, plastic & wire to make them more robust for bending. |

Colonial ViperWhen my folks radio antenna got knocked down, I decide to weld it back into a 1/2 scale Viper. I added wings, wheels and engines from garbage picked scraps and stuff given away on Craigslist. The canopy & cowlings were mostly made with new materials but worth it. Turned out my welding leathers made for a suitable Viper pilot costume. |
