This is my second costume and it took me about a month from start to finish to complete. I spent way too much on this costume.....about 110 on latex paints which are used to paint the pants and the silver latex paint that I use to paint my arms. The utility belt uses one of those military belts that you could find at any military surplus store with 5 ammo pouched which were spray painted silver. The pants are black spandex that I bought for about 20 dollars. If anyone has any questions about this costume let me know :)
