Hi, I’m a British guy living in Finland with a keen interest I making a colonial marine costume for Conventions. I’m interested in the marine with the flame thrower because I love interacting with crowds and improvising. How difficult would it be to but a co2 cannon into the gun to make it fire a coloured jet on co2. Also how much, kit could a colonial marine armour kit cost ? Seb |

Im not too sure of your intentions but im pretty sure it will not be allowed at conventions! A colonial marine armour set for just the armour will be around £500 to about £3000 and then there is all the extras to go with the armour set such as bdu's, boots, shoulder lamps, ect, ect! |

The idea is to bring more interactivity to the audience but yes, I guess co2 cannon would be a bit extreme after seeing them in action. Conventions are relatively new over in Finland and a lot of them are outside so under the right conditions it would be allowed. I was playing with the idea of having a an e-cigarette system which is much softer. I’ll see what I can do. Cheaper also. Ok so the armour can mount up to be quite a lot, what is the material. Resin ? Would that price include someone painting and varnishing it for me ? |

there are multiple armour kits out there all made in different materials as for painting that would norm be extra costs I would suggest you look at a few sites just google chefs creations /spat cave or even terry English if you have the money to give you an idea theres is also a long waiting list for most sites kits these days the odd painted kit also turns up on ebay every now and then |
