Amazing T-Rex Costume Makes for Cretaceous Cosplay

Anyone who has ever assembled one of the little laser-cut wooden T-Rex skele-models are in for a treat today as Jamie Price documents the creation of his amazing T-Rex costume over at Instructables.

Jamie had this to say about the costume's construction:

This Instructable documents the construction of Jamie Price's Tyrannosaurus Rex costume. It is over 10 feet tall and 14 feet long! There are over 140 individual parts that were created. It is built from a flexible foam with a welded steel/aluminum support substructure. Most of the parts were cut using a CNC router with a few cut by hand using a dremel and regular router. Total build time was around 130 hours at a materials/machine time cost of $550.

The costume is Jamie's entry in the Instructables' Shopbot Challenge and Make it Real contests, so if you're impressed with his work, show him some voting love!

Best of all, Jamie has now posted video of the suit in action:

Jamie is planning to take the costume to DragonCon in Atlanta this summer, so if you're going to be there, keep an eye out for him!
