Low light? with pockets???

Ding Ding Ding...

Ladies and Gentlemen

[move:2dm2548d]We HAVE A WINNER !  ;D[/move:2dm2548d]

Congratulations Propergrounds, you win a non-existent No-Prize :P

I just had a chance to checkup now and see that the winning response was given, I am costuming as Low Light :)

The colour of the pants themselves were the clue, hard to find stuff in my size so I just went with the bdu's I have already thinking they'd be appropriate for the outfit.

Though there might be some minor deviations, the outfit will be instantly recognizable from the other end of the dealers room.
 
I was inspired by the recent feature on the new figure and will be attempting an amalgam of the original depiction and the new one, going so far as to have purchased a sheet of clear red plastic (for lighting filters) to augment the goggles.

I'll post updates with the outfit as time permits.

This is fun, thanks all for playing along and congrats again to our winner :)

Had a chance or two to work on some parts of the outfit.

One of the most challenging parts to accomplish for this costume was the properly coloured red tint goggles that Low Light wears.  Somehow I managed to find CF goggles with removable ballistic lens for $15 :O  Something I can use anyway, so I grabbed them and added some red light filter gel cut to size and fit behind the lens. 



The red stuff below the goggles is some of the red gel - it's the same material that used to be used to red the tech specs of the original Transformers toys.

So, the rifle... I wanted to find a fair balance between realism vs. safety/size & weight issues.

I figured the best route to take would be to use my NERF LongShot, but with added parts, notablly the LongStrike barrel and the Recon target spotter underneath for kicks and giggles.  I wanted to add a larger scope but will just use the one that came with the LongShot.



Next up, digging up the knee and elbow pads, then a test run of the outfit :)

It's more or less the same coloured uniform but who the heck wants to carry around a giant periscope around the show :P

The main difference with my Low Light outfit in progress is that my vest is black, but the rest of the costume is as best a match as possible to the original figure.

Last year I wore a helmet and extra fabric for the Dusty costume and sweated my [censored ;)] off, this year I'll have to put up with a beanie cap :P

Slight update again...

I hope to still make it, but my outfit won't be as accurate as I wished because the goatee is staying on, oh well :P

However, there is the potential that I'll be bringing 2 Joe costumes as well possibly a creation I'm working on for the 'oh wow that's kinda cool factor'.

Off to bed, pulling double assignments this week... ;)
