Hello there!I am sorry, I do not have the time to make this costume. I barely have time to make a costume for myself this year as I am constructing a haunted house. But if you really want an Alien costume, give it a whirl using both my tutorial and others available on Instructables and I am sure you will be able to come up with something.

Hey there! Good luck with your endevour! Send me pics when it's done!To answer your questions:1. I see out the neck. If you look at the last photo in the instructable, you;ll notice a round shape on the front of the neck, that is my face. I am wearing one of those Invisible Hood masks underneath. So it is black, but shear, so I can see out. I spray painted stripes across it to make it blend into the neck without loss of vision.2. I don't remember the total costs. I scrounged a lot of stuff, making it as cheaply as I could. The foam that I carved the head, and pipes out of was $30/ sheet at Home Depot. I'd say no more that $100- $150 in materials.
View Instructable »No, I really just eyeballed the shapes, using an action figure of the Alien for reference.

Thanks, Adam! I actually had an alien action figure sitting next to me for reference throughout most of the construction. I've loved the design for so long it felt wrong not to do it right. There were a couple instances where I thought about buying parts, but I realized they wouldn't have blended with the rest of the costume. So, it was just easier (and cheaper) to construct them myself. Plus, that way I got the whole experience. It was a great experience to build it, and even more so wearing it out. People LOVE this costume. Kids will cry and wonder. Grown men will hug you. I hope if you decide to build it, you have fun, and please don't hesitate to ask any questions.

Your costume looks great! I bet he'll be the envy of all his friends! I really like you use of the segmented tunes, it looks very clean. I didn't have that much of those pipes, so I has to make mine.to answer your question, no I was not worried about flammability. And a word of warning; aerosol desinterraten foam and could very possibly ruin all your work.

Hey there!It sounds like you got the wrong type of foam board. The board I used is an insulation foam. It was blue, but I have seen it in pink and green, too. It is NOT the yellow kind with foil on the outside. Styrofoam tends to be made of many small bead-like pieces, which you can see. If you used this, it is the wrong type. The Foam should not be crumbly. Also, make sure you are using the Liquid Nails specifically for foam insulation board.Below is a picture of the foam board I used. I hope this helps!-Ian

Mine was created with the blue foam. I am not familiar with the white foam you are describing. I hope it works out for you! As for the carving, it may be easier than you think. Keep at it! Work slow at first to see how the foam responds to a dremel frill or different types of sand paper. Also, draw on the foam with a marker where you will put things so you have a guide, don't worry, it'll sand right off!Send a pic when you're done, I'd love to see it!Best of luck!-Ian

The head was painted with black gloss enamel paint. I then dry-brushed grays over top of that to bring out the details. I lightly sprayed the dome with a silver to give it the slight sheen.The upholstery foam was also spray painted black, then detailed lightly with gray spray paint.I really used spray paint or dry brushed grays on it. The teeth were painted with a silver enamel paint.Hope this helps!
