Toy Costume, Sandman uniform for Logan's Run

-
Work In Progress. I wanted for my first DIY toy costume (using a 12 inch GI Joe figure) to be the uniform of a Rural Fire Service volunteer because of what's going on these days here in New South Wales.
I then quickly realised I had no idea what the %?$@ I was doing so instead for my first homemade costume I went for a simple track suit using an old pair of socks (reserving the bright red undies for a DIY Mego Robin costume).
Part way through doing it though, the horizontal stripe across the chest made me think of the uniform of the Sandmen from Logan's Run so I have now decided to go for that instead.

  Version 2 of my papercraft sentry box with Action Force (3.75 inches) figure for scale. I added some textures to the walls inside and out. The notice board and various signs are separate items so that the sentry box could be easily customized to various lines or real-life countries. Although created with 3.75 action figures in mind, it could be easily scaled up or down for other purposes (i.e. larger action figures or wargaming miniatures) can be downloaded from: Action Papercraft (Facebook group) Paper Modelers

Chell from Portal 2

Chell, the protagnist of the Portal series of games which are some of my all-time favourite. I designed her wearing her costume from Portal 2 as the one she wore in the first portal game, an orange jumpsuit, felt a bit plain. The paper maquette is 35mm from head to toes so about 1/52 to 1/60 scale depending how tall Chell is actually meant to be. The arms and legs came out a bit too bulky when compared to the character in-game. The portal gun for its part feels to be a bit too long. I might make another version at some point.
