Another Fan-Made TRON Costume

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the mommas-don't-let-your-babies-grow-up-to-be-fanboys dept.

Jay Maynard writes "When this story on making your own TRON costume was posted two weeks ago, I was deep into making my own for the masquerade at Penguicon 2.0. Its debut at the Masquerade won the Workmanship award. I kept notes and took pictures as I was going along, and the page that resulted is now available for your viewing enjoyment. No, I didn't spend any time with straws up my nose while making it, either. I think the results were quite good, and so has everyone who's said anything to me about it here at the con." CmdrTaco is at Penguicon this weekend - go give him a big Tron hug, and make sure to get a photo...

    This costume is based off that one part in Tron where you can totally see the guys nuts

    ...when the guys balls stuck out in tron?

    No?

    6. My good side is not my side. No more side shots of me. From now on, front only pictures only.

    Two recommendations: First, the color of the cloth looks a little light, from my recollection of the film. Maybe a little darker, compared to the EL piping? It would also help if you had a friend or two with you, wearing similar outfits. Second, wear a cup. Please. Most bodysuits are designed for women, or men wearing things over them, so the seams tend to cut lines right across large protrusions. I realize that athletic protection isn't vital during light-cycle races, but it does help prevent retinal scarring from testicles trying to work free of lycra bodysuits. I'd say work on the belly, but I'm not one to talk, with my current sedentary lifestyle.

    Good to see Milton is putting the money he stole to good use.

    Every tron character is a representation of the software it represents. Back in the 80's software tended to be tight and trim but now bloatware is king. I respect this fanboy's accuracy. I bet he's MS Office.

    Did I miss a scene in the movie where Jeff Bridges gets pregnant? :)

    "Any chance we can add a warning to the story, something along the lines of "Images of Overweight Man in Skintight Bodysuit Enclosed" or such?"

    Why? We all look like him.
