Giulietta, a.k.a. Beau Peep Cosplay, was inspired by Alien and the upcoming appearance of Sigourney Weaver at a local convention and decided to make Alien-esque armor. She based her design on the Alien Queen. Incredibly, she only took three weeks to design and craft the costume. She would have preferred to make it more human and less creature, but I think what she did works well. Giulietta used Worbla and EVA foam floor mats to make the entire ensemble by hand.
The construction features several small pieces carefully fit together. See a couple of pictures below.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
