No Country for Old Men
Posted 16 years ago on January 31, 2010

As a fan of the movie "No Country for Old Men" (2007), I decided to dress like Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), the psychopathic killer for Halloween... and even made myself the gun from the movie as my prop. I was an instantly recognizable character.

Below is a step-by-step guide on what I did...

I bought a toy gun:

Cut out spacers from card board:

Create an inner structure:

Lay it down on thick poster board:

Rolled it around the spacers:

I began to prep the front:

Taped up the inside for support:

The back was closed up, leaving a notch for the gun:

I sealed up the front:

The back is sealed up:

I placed it one the gun for inspection:

Covered the item with foil:

The back and front holes/notch is cut out:

I taped up the bottom:

And the gun was complete:
