By their dress code, costume parties (Halloween, etc.) require first-class costumes. In addition, competitions are usually held at such holidays for the best, most detailed superhero costume. Who would not be pleased to participate in such a competition in the costume of their favorite character?

I present to your attention an article on how do Optimus Prime costume their hands.

Necessary materials:

• Hot glue gun + sticks to it;
• Adhesive tape (red, gray);
• masking tape;
• Rulers of different sizes;
• Stationery knife;
• Scissors;
• Aerosol paints (primer, red, blue, white and silver);
• 4 mini flashlights;
• Helmet;
• Velcro;
• Cardboard or foam board;
• 2 empty tins;
• 2 plastic "visors" (for windshields);
• Hockey gloves;
• PVC pipes.

Step 1: Making the Head

Let's take a helmet or helmet as a basis. Cut out of cardboard (foamboard):

• Headphones (triangular pieces);
• Central block (rectangular piece);
• Side disks, on which it is planned to mount antennas in the future;
• Antennas.

After everything is ready, it is necessary to cut recesses on the inside of the blanks. This is necessary in order to attach the "semi-finished products" to the helmet with hot glue.

Cut the material in the central block should be gradual, so as not to remove excess.

We cut out 4 identical round disks, after which we fold the “inedible sandwich” from small pieces of cardboard and 2 disks. We glue them together, not forgetting to glue the ends of the resulting "sandwiches". While the glue dries, cut out 2 long strips (the length is equal to the length of the antenna). Let's cut grooves on the disks that will correspond to the size of the antennas. Then we apply some glue and put everything together.

Before painting, cover the exposed areas of the helmet with masking tape. We primed, and then we applied blue color to the surface of the headdress.

Step 2:

The lattice was made of foam board.

On the main A4 sheet, glue the side walls and the central partition. Mark and cut grooves of small depth (16 pcs). Carefully glue the strips adhering to the angle of inclination.

When painting foam board, it is not necessary to prime the surface.

Step 3: Chest

Take a box and cut out 2 large holes on the sides and try it on. If you feel uncomfortable, enlarge the holes.

We will make a vertical cut on the back to make it easy to put on and take off the suit.

Close the lid and cut out a large hole for the head. (The hole should be slightly larger than the head, so that the box itself does not rest on the neck).

Tape all inside curves with masking tape.

Step 4:

The opening on the back has an additional internal overlapping flap that will be used to secure the Velcro straps.

We fix the strips on hot glue. In addition, I strongly recommend flashing the fasteners with a wide seam (glue tends to tear off the top layer of cardboard).

Step 5: Coloring the Chest

Step 6:

After the paint on the sternum dries, glue the lanterns with hot glue.

We cut out two blanks from plastic according to the size of the “cabin windows” and paint them. Then we take two sheets of transparent plastic, cut them to size and glue them to the cabin.

If desired, window frames can be made from metal strips and fixed to the outer edges of the sternum.

Step 7: Putting the Torso Together

To increase the survivability of the suit, we will make the walls of the torso two-layered. Add a couple of braces to the inside to prevent slipping.

Step 8:

In order to make the feet, we need a pair of shoes and a rubber mat.

First, let's decide on the size of the feet. Let's make boxes by giving them the shape of a trapezoid.

Cut the rug into 8-12 pieces and glue them together with hot glue.

Leave a couple of layers in reserve to cover the top layer above the shoes.

Cut out a hole for the sneakers. Thanks to them, you will not slide forward or backward. Velcro will fix the shoes inside the foot.

Step 9: Making the Legs

Unfortunately, cardboard boxes are not made in the form of pyramids. Therefore, I had to remember the lessons of geometry and make them their hands.

Measure the length of the leg by adding about 12 cm above the knee.

Reinforce the inside curves with duct tape.

Double walls will make the structure stronger, but at the same time make it heavier.

Step 10:

Fasten the Velcro to the inside of the boxes.

Let's start making the front part of the lower leg, where the ventilation holes will be located.

Step 11:

Let's add entourage with the help of old wheels from a children's car.

For gas cylinders, old tin cans were used.

Step 12: New Helmet

As it turned out, the old helmet was too heavy, hot and looked like a "melon" on top of the torso. Therefore, Prime needed a new headgear.

We will purchase a construction helmet and remove the belts from it. Instead, glue the lining from an old bicycle helmet.

Side flaps and antennae removed from an old helmet.

The face mask has been painted in colors that match other parts of the costume. It is removable and held in place by 2 small Velcro strips located on the inside.

Step 13: Almost done

After the finishing of the parts has been completed, we proceed to the fitting process (if necessary, we will cut off unnecessary parts and add adhesive tape for reinforcement).
