Zoltar Machine Costume

I wanted to recreate the Zoltar Machine from the movie Big.
The costume was the easy part. We modeled the collar with a dog cone in mind. Extra strength interfaceing and some flashy gold trim pulled it together. The hat was just two long peices of fabric put together and the clock was just a knit with a hole cut in it.
To make the box we used my mom's old elections signs, taped them together and spray painted them. Since it had to be transported in a small car we had to make it easy to assemble. It was held together with 2 inch brads and zip ties. It was all attached to a walker to make it easy to get around.
I cut the letters out with a silhouette cameo and the contrast colors out of poster board. The ramp was just toilet paper rolls glued together and spray painted.
