Step 5Details
I blacked out certain areas of the wire with matte black tape, since that provided less interference than running the wire inside the costume. I needed to make this suit as user-friendly as possible.
The helmet was set up to have its own battery pack.
The gloves were laid out so that the wires would run off the edge of the gloves and join to connector wires on the sleeves.
The battery packs were secured to the back of the suit in a surprisingly easy manner - I simple cut slits in the fabric and hooked the clips of the battery packs into the slits.
It was essential that the battery packs be on the outside of the costume for a few reasons. They needed to be hidden from the front view, they needed to be accessible by the techs who would turn them all on before the show, and to facilitate the necessary battery changes between shows.
Of course, I finished it off with a custom label I made with an iron-on printer transfer.
