CoderKev writes - "My original Halloween plans got toasted, so I had to come up with something in short order. About a week ago, I was going thru Halloween ideas and remembered seeing this Lego MiniFig Costume. Lego's been one of those fun things I've enjoyed staying a kid to enjoy. So, I decided to mix the MiniFig with one of the best movies made in a while, "Shaun of the Dead." Total construction time was about 20 hours. I'll post construction details after Halloween. Hope it survives the festivities." [via] - Link.

This entered in the MAKE & CRAFT Halloween contest, we're up to 300+ photos and counting!! See all of the entries here!

Construction Details

So, how exactly did you construct the costume? My friend and I stumbled upon this post while looking for neat halloween costume ideas.

Some insight would be greatly appreciated.
