Giant Floating Bear Skull Costume!

Step 7 Trial run

I had a trial run of putting everything together in the art studio - mainly as it was the last day of first year and there were assesments so i brought in everything was doing... hence slightly emused looks from the slightly more sane art students (only slightly mind :p). Notice on these photos i have an extra belt over my chest for extra support. i had only jus bought the lumbar support belt (the neoprene one below it) and hadn't yet twigged that if you add a hard insert into it then it can support the whole thing on its own.

Also in the second picture you can see how far the mask does swing forward when crouching/leaning. I was lucky that i managed to fluke the holes in the box to roughly the CoG of the whole thing so it didnt have a tendancy to stick in one place

The mask can also be worn as a rather fetching hat - as demonstrated by Mr Jack and Mr Alec.
