Halloween Costume Contest 2015

Assimilated Cyborg / Robotic Machine Cybernectic alien species / Human Collective seeker

Main

Hello,My name is Kenny, and I’ve always been a huge fan of technology! I’ve always been good with wires. I have thousands of random wires I’ve collected throughout the years) My other talents consists of soldering, modifying components, computers, and game systems, operating systems etc.Star Trek The Next Generation movie series had a race of cybernetic organisms call Borg. They assimilate other species of humans or other aliens into their collective to make them like the rest of Borg. I’ve always been a huge fan, and I wanted to create a similar idea of how they look in the movies, but modify it to my own design, and ideas.I spent hundreds of hours, and thousands of dollars on this costume and worked very consistently to finish before the Halloween 2015!I have hot glue burns, solder burns, razor cuts, drill bit cuts, and super glue still on my fingers, haha, It can get brutal, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!One of my favorite features (besides the laser:P), is that It has a built in drink holster in the crotch area with a straw that comes up through the mask so I can enjoy a cocktail with hands free! I also made a little door hatch that allows you to go to the bathroom instead of taking the whole costume off!THIS VIDEO Demonstrates how the Laser/Blower/Smoker works on the side of the face: https://youtu.be/0V8wC-QlTe0Here is a list of some more details about the Costume I built, and designed.
