Pac man video game drawing2/29/2024 ![]() Mark around the mirror with a pencil to be able to line it up later. I used the cut off panel to hold above the box at the angle I wanted to screen to be so that I could move the mirror to the angle that best fit that. Sit your mirror at an angle against the back panel, and your projector and battery pack near the open end. It plays 2 major rolls: it flips the image and it helps make the image larger in a small space. ![]() We need to flip the image so that when people play it from the other side of the screen, it is the right way for them. The game will plug into the projector and the battery pack will plug in as well. I used a double cereal box from Sams to house my components. This if because we are going to add panel later that will cover this part up, so no use in wasting paint.* * you will notice that I did not spray paint the side panels. Then I traced the piece I just cut off on the other side to make it even. They needed to be more oval shaped so I had to go back and draw an oval around the circle and cut it out again. I found, later on in the build, that the arm holes were not comfortable for me. Carefully cut these out and add some tape to the seams. We are going to trace another circle in the middle of each side panel at about 4 and a quarter inches from the top of the box. I initially taped it with duct tape and it didn't hold well so I switched to masking tape. I say masking tape because it is the best tape to paint over. Now build your box back up and tape it with wide masking tape. Draw or trace a circle there large enough four head to comfortably fit through. I learned the hard way.Īnyways, once the paint has dried, bring it back to your work area and find the center of the panel where your head will be. It is much easier to do that BEFORE you build it. I recommend having a layer of white on any cardboard you use for this build. That cardboard really soaks up the paint making you need to apply more layers and yellow spray paint can get expensive. This will save you time and money later when you need to paint it yellow. Now take your box and any other cardboard you think you will be using outside and give them a nice coat with cheap white spray paint. Cut off the end of the box where you feet will be. It fit me great with plenty of room without having too much space and making the build bigger than it needed to be.īreak down your box and remove any tape that may still be on it. The rest of the build is built onto this so this is the foundation. Or you could just find a box that you fit in comfortably and screw the numbers mess. This will tell you how large to make your body compartment which is the base for the whole thing. You will also need a mirror.įirst you need to measure yourself from shoulder to just below waist, shoulder to shoulder, and front to back. I used the same one suggested in the BMO ible, a Jakks pacific eye clops like this one. You also need a small battery powered projector. You can usually find these pretty cheap at a dollar store. ![]() You will also need spray paint (white and yellow), a box cutter and scissors, a computer and printer, card stock, spray adhesive, a plastic shopping bag, glue stick, black, red, and orange paint, and a paint brush.įor the working components you will need a plug and play pacman game. So be sure to go check that out and give some props!īasically, this costume is made from cardboard and hot glue. The basic idea for the working parts came from this great BMO costume 'ible. I got lucky in that I had the perfect sized boxes to work with and that someone had done a similar thing so I had something to get me started. Now an arcade game costume is pretty cool on its own, but one you can actually play is infinitely better wouldn't you say? So here I will do my best to explain how I made mine. ![]() This Halloween my kids decided they wanted to be Pacman so I just couldn't pass up the chance to be the arcade game to match.
