A project you should all enjoy

[lost-and-found]

ah, now that I got your attention here's your assignment. This halloween I decided to dress as the Linux Penguin "Tux". I want to make a very realistic costume. Any of you have links to guides where they show how to make a penguin costume? I will appreciate it. When the costume is done I will make sure to take pics and post them here.

Now, isn't this going to be fun?

This guy looks like he just bought a penguin suit...were you looking to make a threaded suit or a latex type/rubbery one?

This one should take you about 5 minutes!

It wont be easy---had a friend make a "Gumby" costume awhile back out of cut and handsewn/glued 2"inch foam rubber---most of it was flat and buttseamed making it sorta easy, just had a hole cut out for his face, he painted it green and it was GREAT looking!

But it didnt last long, VERY difficult to walk around, HOT and most movement caused it to disintegrate---think about Martoch's 2nd idea looks pretty simple!...
:-)

a grown man walking around as a Penguin? scary!

i gotta ask! pics when its done!!
