I've been somewhat keen to do a Spaceballs costume for a while. My original inspiration for this was seeing a couple of guys with Spaceballs costumes in some of the DragonCon '09 photos.
Only just very recently though, I decided to look a bit further into it...
So I stumbled across Jack Doud's Spaceballs costume. He also wrote about how he made the helmet and the belt buckle.
I recently contacted Jack Doud to find out if he had any of the spare belt buckles he mentioned. He does, and he's willing to sell some to me!
So I was wondering if anyone else in the guild would be interested in doing a couple of Spaceballs costumes?
Here's what the buckles look like. Jack tells me all they require is a little bit of sanding and painting, and then they are done! They are AU $7.80 for each buckle. He says that he can ship them in a box that could potentially fit two more buckles, so if two other people would like a buckle (and preferably live is SA so that I may get the buckle to them in person), we could perhaps split the postage three ways (postage in full is AU $15)? wink.gif

So if you're interested in either getting one of these buckles, or just the costume itself, comment on this thread or send me a PM (whichever you'd prefer). happy.gif


(P.S. Toddi, sorry if this might be in the wrong section. This area seemed somewhat appropriate, but if you think it'd be better suited in the 'Items for Sale/Trading Post' section, feel free to move it.)
Go ahead, make my coffee.

Now I know what you're thinking - "does he want two sugars or only one?" Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I've kind of lost track myself.
But being that I don't like my coffee too strong or too sweet, you’ve got to ask yourself one question – "do you feel lucky" – well do you, punk?

I'm planning on doing a Spaceballs costume too! laugh.gif

Wouldn't it be good to have a compliment of Spaceball guards and Dark Helmet? wink.gif
