at long last.... some description of how i made this costume! (and so can you!)

for starters. you need to get yourself some base clothes. I started with a leather jacket, pleater pants, pleather boots, a cotton shirt (tripp brand) and some leather gloves just for fun.

-step 1-
make everything fit. I altered the jacket to fit me and stop mid-torso. I also took the sleeves off the shirt (and took it in for size... i think it was a mens shirt).

-step 2-
make it tron!! this is up to your interpretation. I covered my boots with leather scraps from my jacket to eliminate the heel look.

-step 3-
this is the fun part. first and foremost, if you don't have a disk by now, get one. then cut out the middle! decorate as you see fit.

to create the 'light' effect here's what I did:
-lay electrical tape where you want 'light' (I've also heard of using reflective tape, which sounds AWESOME)
-to create circles i stacked a couple pieces of tape and cut the circle out (see image..)
-using two shades of teal/blue outline the tape (lighter toward the middle)
-paint all tape over with glow in the dark paint.

disk rack!! my proudest feature? maybe.
- two butterfly clips (though I heard a rumor they stopped making these??)
-bend apart as seen in picture
-hot glue then sew clips onto upper back, facing out
-mount disk.
this is kinda amazing, because it held the disk for a whole convention and then some, and makes the disk super easy to whip out.

this is a super cheap costume to make, and looks pretty darn good when completed. (my total cost: under $15)(to be fair, i already had the pants and shirt and disk )
see the whole thang here! [link]
drop me a line for more info (is it possible??) or detail pics.
