Garrus Vakarian Mass Effect 2 Costume

Thank you all for the great comments! I made this costume from scratch based on the Mass Effect 2 character Garrus before he takes the rocket to his face. I will have more pictures posted on my website mywickedarmor.com in the near future. And yes, I plan to make more of these. Contact me through my website (not YouTube) if you are interested. This Garrus project was a bit more difficult than I thought it would be. The costume has at least 75 LED's on/in it! But the lighting is one of the things that attracted me to this costume. I especially enjoyed the eye gear. Photos and videos just do not capture how neat the eye piece looks. I think the whole costume requires nine 9V batteries if you want the lights to work for a few hours. Fortunately, the armor is very lightweight, including the massive chest piece which I designed to split into two pieces for shipping and transport. And I am aware that Garrus does not have a tail- I just forgot to attach the butt plate strap before the video. A few people have asked how long it took to make. That's hard to say since I worked on it in spurts. I am a quick sculptor, but there was a lot of time involved in moldmaking, paint, and assembly. The work was done over the span of a few months.

I slip my feet with shoes on them into the spandex socks and ...

How to replace the battery in a gameboy cartridge. No sound. FAQ: q: How did you melt the pen? a: I held it over a candle. Not into the flame, but very close. When it started to deform, I knew it was molten. It was the plastic part only. q: How did you remove the old battery? a: I ripped the welds between the battery and its holders carefully, not to damage the solders between the holders and the circuitboard. q: What did you scratch!?Why? a: The lower battery holder. My ripping skills turned out to be inadequate to perfectly perform that ripping on them, so in this case I just cut it with a scissors. It became flat, which is bad if i want good, reliable contact with them, so I scratched it to make its surface rougher. q: Where can I buy that specific button cell? a: Well I bought it in a cell shop in Hungary, where I live. Giving directions to that shop probably won't get you closer to the solution. All I can say is to google it! q: The tabs are broken. what to do? a: This guy may have the answer.: /watch?v=6hYgS2kfwtY
