Giant Samurai from 'SuckerPunch'

In the lead up to the preview night we were invited to at the Palace Nova, everyone was scrambling to get a costume done. It was a simple choice for most of the men as they went with the Zombie German Soldiers but I wanted to do something different and I thought the Giant Samurais seen in the trailer were pretty cool. Unfortunately I picked the crap one

This took two nights to make out of EVA foam floor mats. The hat was made out of three smaller hats and the textured undersuit was just a spray painted woollen jumper (a very cheating method for emulating a chainmail look).

I bought the sword specifically for the costume.

It looks ok in some photos (like this one) but it's not as impressive as it could have been. I may recycle the armour for something else down the track.
