This year a friend of mine, Mark, wanted to be Launchpad McQuack from Duck Tales. He knew I'd worked with foam before so he asked me to make him the beak and feet. I was happy to help.
I still had a big pile of scrap foam and yellow stretch velvet left over from Ms. Pacman. I stopped by my favorite craft supply store SCRAP and picked up some durable brown polyester for the feet for about $2. Then midterms happened...
And I went to California for my Pop's birthday...
And all of a sudden it was Halloween week and Mark had a party to go to.
So, I pounded a press full of coffee and banged out a beak and some duck feet in 4 hours.
He arrived just in time for a fitting before I ran off to watch the World Series (Go Giants!!)
So here's Launchpad:
The results weren't as sharp as they would have been if I'd had more time but I was pretty pleased, and so was Mark. I still think that for my first time, under pressure, I did a pretty good job.

| As a bonus the beak was comfortable enough to wear all night, speak and drink beer through! |
