can i get some help building my own High quality costume?
I suggest working with easier materials and painting them in a high gloss lacquer to make them look like metalIt'd be a lot cheaper than sheet aluminumOne of the problems is that metal thin enough to work easy, will also dent easy, which is going to mess up that paint jobI'd model it first, then make the back plate and head from molded latex, as you would a monster maskIt's cheap available and light Blinking lights are available in hobby kitsWiring them to your eyes would be hardEasier to run a wire to a button control in one glove.
a few hits? not long man at most a weekgood stuff to be taken hits from the props
