Ryan Bowen and his baby son Geraint dressed as a mech warrior for Hallowe’en in an awesome effort that turns the child into a brave mecha-pilot.
“Ryan built a frame for the body out of PVC and wrapped a cardboard shell around it and secured it to the frame with zip ties,” Bowen’s wife said. “He then cut and sculpted the other pieces out of cardboard, with some foam board details to add a true 3D effect. The joints are all fastened with Velcro cable wraps, and the head and other pieces attach to the main body with Velcro tape.”
“The legs are supported by a belt, which is hidden under the body,” she continued. “His arms slip into the gun pods and he has more Velcro straps on the inside in order to hold them. The feet just fit over his shoes by gluing toilet paper tubes on the inside to take up the extra space.”
