Hey seagulls,
I'm hoping you have some ideas for me. I want to go as this little beauty to a con and have the general idea in my head, wear white on top with white shorts and black boots. I also have the light basically figured out. What I'm wondering is, what about my face, and the only thing I can think of is doing a shirt / sweatshirt for the body but I don't really like that idea. Any ideas?

hmmm if you wanna get sassy with it, you could where a long sleeved white shirt on top, stick some small gray pvc pipes under your arms for gun barrels so it looks like you are and active turret...could also add some details to the shirt like black patches around the shoulders to separate the side panels. wear one of those black fitted face warmers that only shows you eyes, and then wear some large goggles or something so you can attach the antenna to your shoulder and then to the goggles for support.

... i drew you a picture... idk i suddenly wanted to see this to...

To be honest OP I would have been more impressed with someone having a realistic turret with the legs sticking out and everything as a costume on the torso and you dressed in a black zentai or something than someone dressed in white running around with a red dot saying CRITICAL ERROR or some bullshit.

Oh! I really like that general idea especially the face mask part but with the red part being on my chest I was wondering if my face/head should be white?

I am going to have the legs and am going to record the official voice from the game. It's not also just going to be a red dot, its going to glow and if I can, get a red laser (I'm an engineer, shouldn't be to hard)

yeah red dot where the circle on the chest is, i just forgot to color it ^^; Personally i would say black face mask, since they don't have heads.

putting the laser on your head could let you mimic the turret's search eye effect

Nice, i like that image. but wont the laser not really be visible in the day? red lasers aren't really known for their beam brilliance.

Lasers should be autobanned in most cons what with the federal and state regulations against them, by the way.

wire in some electronics, a nice red led ring for the eye, a speaker for a mp3 player loaded up with the turrent phrases, shit would be cash.

>>4413030
this, but use black tights, white booty shorts, a black skivvy, a white tank top, and white arm warmers, make it sexycool.

I agree about the electronics, not the sexy cool.
And, red lasers are fairly visable as well as legal.

why not get the voices and put them on your ipod and get speakers.
Otherwise, check a costume store

Awesome. :) Alternately, instead of a white wig, you could make the bodysuit(bodyshorts?) hooded and have a good instead. Same "domed" effect.

I'd also use a shiny fabric, but that's a given I think.

yeah, I was going to do a hood because it would look more like the turret I think that way.

Yeah, I agree. I dunno how to go about doing the three-legged thing without it looking awkward. You could possibly have a smaller foot coming off of your back like a "tail"? I just wouldn't want it to look tacked on and/or disproportionate to your real legs. Not to mention difficulty in moving around.

Maybe also have some stiff tubing that comes out of the small of your back and put it on the back of your thighs to simulate the little metal curves that hold the legs onto the main body.
