The annual halloween visit to hershey park was today. I'm tired.

We had a blast as usual....now I just need some TP for my bunghole.

Prefect halloween weather!

well, this is the final product
 

the wig makes me really hot. i think i will probably appear with it on, but take it off after it's been seen for the judging....

new additions are the kilt, whic is an elastic waist band doubled up and sewn together, with left over pieces of the pleather cut into necktie shapes and folded over. i used some copper wire to attach them. also, the belt buckle and brooch are done. I also have some cloth of gold hanging down the back of my neck from the helmet, but it is not shown here.

too hot?

lose the longjohns. +10 for authenticity and I *promise* you'll get more attention.

plus, dye your hair!

Mission accomplished - for real !

Great job, Jim. Lots of imagination plus follow-through.

That's great!

You did all that yourself? Super job! You look great. :)

well, 90%. I had my mom do some sewing machine work attaching the fur to the shirt, and edging the belt, but other than that... yeah. All I know is that I'm going to be a Viking for Halloween for the next 5 years.

Awesome, but if I may suggest, the braids need to match the beard. I'd like to see the braids died gingery red. As it is, they look like you just scalped Heidi.

Jim, did you buy the materials at the fabric store? The reason why I'm asking is because my nephew wants to be a bald eagle, but my sister doesn't want to dish out $40. She's planning on making it the way she made his parrot costume last year. However, it was made from fabric, and I like the fur you've got.
