My sons new costume

Post by Tubby Tusken »

Hello all thought I should post what I've been working on for the past week. My son Zach has wanted me to make him a costume so we sat down at the old computer and did some surf'in. We found some he liked and he decided he wanted to be a GONK droid. We made the whole droid for under $50.00. I had a lot of scrap parts at the shop that helped all I need to do is add some sound and it is done. Just thought I'd post some pics

Thanks for your time. :thumbs:

I thought the same thing it would really mess with people :rotflmao:. Thanks to everyone on the great posts he loves it he wants to wear it all the time. I have a 2:30 min loop that will play of GONK GONK and his chatter and some power sound FX. I will be happy to bring it to maker fair for sure I also made fake legs to go inside so he will stand with no one in it.

Thanks so much
