tyler524 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Nerd Alert!Alright, I have decided to build myself a bad ass Tron costume for Halloween. I am a little late on the planning and building stage but my mind is set and I don't want to half ass it. I am thinking of running some electroluminescence wire for the lighting on the outside. I would like to run something over top of it though to help spread the light so I actually have the glowing patches instead of just the wire itself. I don't want to have just a black long sleeve shirt and pants but want to come up with some kind of cool suit to wear. I am kind of lost right now though as to how I am going to do the helmet. Any tips or advice that you have would be appreciated. I know I am not the only nerd here that would appreciate the complete awesome geekiness of this project.Does anyone know a good source for EL Ribbon?

gen3flygirl Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 You are welcome to my old motorcycle helmet. I plan on getting a new one when I get a new bike. You could also try getting a plastic construction workers helmet spray painting it and using plexy glass for the face shield. I hope you can pull this off it would be sweet!

Scruit Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 My wife met the Tron Guy at Penguicon (Linux/Comic book con) in Michigan a few years back. People were getting his autograph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I can't believe he went to all the trouble making this costume and failed to install a man-sized undergarment penis enlargement device for additional sex appeal..........then again, this outfit is FAR from sexually appealing anyway - so.........props to the 50 yr old kid!!
