Best thing about that suit at that convention, is the fact that until you took the mask off nobody could recognise you!
Wow! that girl had long nails, would'nt like those anywhere near my back!
guess you could be forgiven for being a geek, since the combine suit is a good effort, and if you were thinking of a HEV suit, how about getting a set of one piece motor cycle leathers, and adding bits of orange plexiglass or sheet metal to it.
The only thing I've done remotely like your combine suit, is when I was 17 yrs old and studying ninjutsu, I used to train in a local forest (about 10 square miles), in the day and at night and As well as practising my swordmanship with my Katana, I used to practise my stealth and camouflage by concealing myself in trees and bushes a few feet from a well trodden public footpath, the amount of people I have seen that have walked past me, when I've been virtually in full view and barely a few inches away from them.
Oh! and I was also dressed in full ninja garb, black pants, jacket, hood, gauntlets and authentic split toe'd tabi soft sole boots, and the skin around my eyes that was still visible despite wearing the hood was coloured with soot (charcoal powder).
I had a lot of fun, concealing myself from unsuspecting ramblers.
I even happened upon a great addition to my "costume", I was watching a horror film at home one night, and one of the monsters had bright red eyes, but his body was in shadow.
So the following night, I went to a local park, where plenty of people walked through on their way back from one of the village pubs, My addition to the costume was an old pair of sunglasses, with the lenses removed, and 2 red LED'S (light emitting diode) glued to the top of each side, with a switch and battery.
I hid up a tree, and as 6 local teenagers walked beneath the trees that aligned the path, I broke a twig in half, that I was holding, to get their attention, they all looked up at me, as I sat in the middle of this tree, 20 foot up, When I knew I had their undivided attention, I switched on the LED's.
I can only imagine, what they saw.
The silhouette of something, 20 foot up a tree, at 11.30pm, with a half moon illuminating the park, and this something had glowing red "eyes".
I've never heard 6 teenagers, scream so loud, or run so fast before, in my whole life!
Funniest thing I've ever seen.
It was the talk of the village and the local school for months to come, but nobody ever knew it was me, 'til now!
That was nearly 20 years ago though, and my old katana now gathers dust in my loft.
