QbertCostume

Halloween 2006 is over! I was happy to win the Best Character contest at work. I've won 4 years in a row now! Woot!

I've got lots of goodies about my costume here this year. I'm including the plans that I scribbled down before making the costume as well as sound effects, pictures, and some videos of the costume in action.

Here is the file containing the sound effects that I played through portable speakers as I hopped around in the costume.

If you have Google SketchUp, here is the SketchUp file I used to see what the nose would look like. Warning, it's my first use of this software and the result is pretty pathetic. But, it helped a bit.
