This costume is AWESOME! My son saw it and said "that's the one for me this year mom!" I am very interested in knowing how you did the head and styrofoam parts... need some tips!

Awesome costume!!! I can't afford to buy
the one you made. However, this is
what my 5 year old son asked me to make.
At least now I have some ideas how to
create his. The costume is very well made!

Please post instructions on making the lego head. I have 3 boys that want lego minifigure costumes but no stores sell them yet!

there are how-to's on the web, unfortunately i have neither the time nor clear recollection of the exact process as i made these 2 years ago. i can tell you i based everything off the exact measurements of the actual minifigure, i then measured key aspects of my sons size for proper fit, i then accounted for the difference in his size versus the costume extra room (the head needed to be big enough to put his head into)
i came up with a scale and computed the rest of the actual measurements, then cross checked to make sure he would fit into the components.

Lots of math!!
