I recently created a headcrab out of paper maché in my art class:

It's made of simple newspaper melded into the desired shape with wire. It's covered with masking tape, newspaper, and paper towel strips, dipped in cellulose. It's painted with acrylic.
It can be worn as a hat, and covers the top of the head, as well as the eyes if pulled down (The only beneficial thing about doing this is just to look more like a headcrab zombie).
Now, naturally, the idea of creating a Halloween costume came to mind as I was making this. I'm assuming it will be fairly easy, however I'd like input from this forum.
Any good ideas/suggestions for costume parts?
Woah. Very nice!
NICE
Now you have something to wear for Halloween.
That's sweet. Good job.
How many polygons does that thing have?
Much better than that crap on Valves store
Uber man!
You so need this for halloween.
I also have a few friends making some other cool stuff.
One's making a Big Daddy from Bioshock, and the other's making the Cloverfield monster based off of the old concept art.
I'll maybe post pictures of those when they're complete.
Wow it looks like the real thing, you should make at least a few more and prank anyone who comes into your room with flying headcrabs of doom!
I like your painting. :v:
Size comparison? I have no idea how big your 300 book is.
Hah, that's fucking cool!

What's the belly on it look like?
Hopefully this answers both of your questions:

This is the belly, and the model is being propped up against my moniter, which is a 20" screen.
So it measures around 19-20 inches from butt to nose.
That's so sick. You should have a whole bunch of people dress like zombies and go to school like that.
Very nice!
EPIC painting skills if I do say so myself.
You should show this to Valve, I'm sure they'd be proud...or just annoyed haha
but this is really amazing!!
JESUS CHRIST IT'S A HEADCRAB!
GET IN THE CAR!

Hm...
I should email a picture of it to Gabe Newell. He does read fanmail, doesn't he?
Make a lifesize zombie and use it as a coat hanger.

Yessir. Yes he does.
[QUOTE=NeoDement]Yessir. Yes he does.[/QUOTE]
Gabe is actually the first guy I know who really does read fan mail and replies within a week or so if it's good quality.
Also you have crabs.
Holy shit! It's awesome!
It's way better than the valve store crap! (they didn't make the blood on it)
Good job!
looks meaty
Lemme see it on someone :)
Holy fucking shit, this is great.
That's amazing, keep up the good work.
Very cool.
Put it on yourself and get someone in your family to take a picture. Don't forget to stand like a zombie!
