Wearable Conversion
Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 7:42PM With the right skill-set, determination and straight-out guts, it's entirely possible to turn a set of raw castings and shells into a wearable costume. Andy H. in the U.K. was the first to do so. He went all-out and installed pressure sensors that activate servo sound-fx in addition to light-up eyes. After he had the parts professionally metallized, he installed a mic. into the head that's connected to the controller board, so he looks, walks, and talks just like the character!!
This is one of the first fan-made of its kind done with this level of professional quality. Andy uses his suit for promotional events, and charity work with the U.K. 501st.
