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:
