MIB Halloween costume by Honus
Featured
Be a MIB agent for Halloween! It's a simple costume to do but to really make some impact you'll want to pull out the "big guns."

Step 1: Materials

First you'll need the obvious black jacket (preferably three button- I used a two button black blazer and added the third button), black pants, black shoes, black tie and white shirt. Don't forget the dark glasses!

Now for the fun stuff- for the blasters you'll need some MDF wood, sheet plastic or Sintra (PVC sheet sold by plastic suppliers and sign shops- cost about $35 for a 4x8 ft. sheet 1/8" thick), some wood screws, Bondo, epoxy, PVC cement and a few lengths of PVC pipe.

Sorry but I don't have any dimensions and no way to measure them- both blasters were sold several years ago.

Anyone else notice the blue dome on the tri-blaster kinda looks like a giant eye? **instructable inspiration**

What about making a Noisy Cricket? That little thing PWNs.
Honus (author) says: Oct 16, 2009. 10:57 PM
I had a resin casting of a Noisy Cricket at one time that I bought online but it was so bad it was useless. There have been some very nice machined aluminum replicas produced.

Okay, I came up with an idea for a NERF Noisy Cricket.

If I redo this costume someday I may make one, along with a good neuralyzer. :)

 I have a few questions that I need answered


How are the clip and ammunition made?     How is the handle made?     How is the grip made?        Overall, how is the basic frame made, not just the barrels?
Honus (author) says: Mar 19, 2010. 11:05 AM
The clip is just made from pieces of Sintra (PVC plastic sheet) glued together and the ammo is just plastic rod glued inside. The handle is cut from MDF (medium density fiberboard) and has plastic glued on the sides. The grip is just a section plastic pipe with some plastic ribs glued onto it that is attached to a linear slide (like a drawer slide.) The barrels essentially are the frame- everything was glued and screwed to the PVC pipe that formed the barrels.

 Oh, and thank you very much!
bendog38 says: Mar 19, 2010. 6:00 PM
 And essentially you just paint it all silver afterwards.  And is it possible to turn this into basically a giant nerf gun?
Honus (author) says: Mar 19, 2010. 6:42 PM
Yep- just paint it silver. Don't know if you could turn it into a Nerf gun. They did use some Super Soakers that were painted silver in the second movie as background props.
bendog38 says: Mar 19, 2010. 8:07 PM
Hey, thanks, I am going to build this and then tweak it to shoot nerf darts.  Basically, I'm going to build this around an internal frame, the Nerf N-Strike
LongStrike or LongShot---which ever will fit in the barrel.
bendog38 says: Mar 18, 2010. 4:17 PM
 What about the clip?   How do you make that?    And what about the ammunition and how to get that in there?     Also, the grip, trigger and handle?     How do you get those on and how do you make them????

the guns were definatley a good idea, me and my brother went as MIB, and  a few people slammed the door in our faces because they thought we were mormons. lol.
Honus (author) says: Oct 3, 2006. 7:58 AM
Thanks guys! I also made a Neuralyzer out of a brass shower rod but it didn't turn out so great. I also made a Galaxy Holder but I didn't finish it in time for Halloween- it would have been cool to pull it out of my pocket! I should have my Ghostbuster instructable up in a couple of days- if you like the MIB you'll really like it. :) Jerome

This is a very cool item that I would love to buy. May i ask, are you selling these and if so, how much? I know this would be a wonderful conversational item for Halloween adults costume
Honus (author) says: Aug 19, 2009. 3:41 PM
Sorry, I'm not selling them at this time.
$ NAB $ says: Sep 21, 2008. 8:17 AM
Can you post an instructable to show how to make that galaxy holder.
Honus (author) says: Sep 21, 2008. 9:22 AM
If I ever make another one I will, but I have to say it's pretty unlikely to happen.
$ NAB $ says: Sep 21, 2008. 10:11 AM
OK,thanks afterall.
cowscankill says: Oct 30, 2008. 1:09 PM
I got an idea for one...
$ NAB $ says: Oct 31, 2008. 4:17 AM
So when will the idea get concrete ?
cowscankill says: Nov 3, 2008. 4:21 AM
When I make it one day
merseyless says: Nov 2, 2008. 2:08 AM

$ NAB $ says: Nov 2, 2008. 10:43 PM
I knew somebody would say that.Simple but pretty good joke.
merseyless says: Nov 8, 2008. 7:46 PM

How did you make the galaxy holder?
Honus (author) says: Aug 9, 2008. 1:03 PM
I made the entire thing from sterling silver. I cast the top frame and hand fabricated everything else. It was then joined together using both silver solder and by laser welding so heat wouldn't destroy the marble inside the lower frame.
BorisTheSpider says: Nov 19, 2007. 2:51 PM
So, a year late and then some, but...upon seeing this picture, I was incredibly drawn to the idea of making a Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
Karnivore says: Oct 30, 2008. 6:21 PM
I'd chop of my toes to see that. Well, maybe, but I'd really love to see it!
spam face says: Jul 2, 2009. 5:04 PM
