This was my first attempt a couple of years ago. I already had the leather pants, jacket and boots (I've used them for the Terminator, Elvis, Bono, etc.).
The shoulder and wrist spikes are plastic, and I picked them up during the Halloween season. The mask is the weakest part-- it's a spandex
"Rorscharch" style mask that doesn't really have the "real" effect that I want. I added some red sunglass lenses on the inside of the
mask.
Since this photo was taken, I found a skull mask at an after-Halloween sale that I think is much more realistic-looking. The wig is also from an after-Halloween sale, as are the skeleton hand gloves. The chains need to be bigger-- I found them at a thrift store. Again more recently, I found some plastic decorative chain that looks rusty and has larger links. I'm going to use the improved mask and chain at a local con in about two more weeks; I'll post some more photos then of the results.
