Finally! Finally got this pic up! 9_9 This is the Starscream costume I made for A-kon 14(2003). Actually I barely finished it in time. Completed it just enough to wear around the convention about 2 hours before the Saturday night Masquerade. *phew* Its basically a bunch of assorted junk(craft foam, cardboard, foam core board and uphostery foam) covered in spandex fabric with lots and lots of hot glue holding it together. ;

It is a shiny red thin spandex fabric. It is actually the reverse side of the same fabric I used for the torso pieces. At the fabric store, I held up different fabrics to my eyes to make sure I could see through it. A spandex like I used is really hard to find, I just lucked out. I would really suggest trying a red foil lamé fabric. I tend to use that type of fabric very often for character eyes. It comes in many colors, is paintable, and easy to see through.
Wow...a costume made from a spandex-covered frame? That came out pretty well. Nice job on the details, especially with the wings, head, and torso. Was it hard to move around in?
The only way this could be better is if it were Ratchet or Wheeljack. I would be left no choice but to kiss you through the computer (no easy task mind you).
