Our homemade plastic army man Halloween costumes

GF and I decided to be homemade army men for Halloween this year. Bazooka Girl and Telephone guy. Her bazooka was made out of simple sewer pipe, and my telephone was made from a recycled Clarisonic box I found in the trash. Here we are waiting on the train platform before we head into the city.

You live in SF I see :p +1 OP you guys look great!

I am surprised you didn't get shot by a cop for wielding that replica of a rocket launcher.

To be completely honest I've never seen the last 4 episodes. I kept making excuses about why I couldn't finish them- too much work etc

a "simple sewer pipe"?

13 years ago | Likes 132 Dislikes 9

Yes, like sewage piping. PVC or similar tubing. A buck or two a foot. Any decent sized hardware store worth their guff will have it.

13 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I see a toilet flange, 3" pipe, a 3" X 2" long sweep elbow, and a 3" female thread clean-out cap on the back. (I remodeled my bathroom ;-) )

13 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

LOL - the toilet flange was the first thing I saw too. Amazing what you pick up remodeling your bathroom

13 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

yeah. because all the complicated sewer pipes were taken.

13 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Probably ABS, cuz pvc isn't meant for sewage. ABS is black and usually comes in three or four inch diameter pipes.
