	Well the title is a bit deceptive. ;D I had an end of year fancy dress party this week, the theme was Oscars (I got nominated in 3 out of 6 categories, including person to be stranded on a deserted island with ) or Hollywood Legends. Anyhow, I do not exactly look like any hero, so thought a member of the "Dirty Dozen" would be as close as I would get to looking like Clint Eastwood. The plan was to get a Poundshop Revolver and Sheriffs badge, and use a Stetson hat, some old Cowboy boots I bought years ago, and never wore, as well as a blanket shaped to look like a Poncho..... get the picture ? Handgun was easy,Sheriff badge and life size 44magnum replica with authentic electronic sound = £0.99p. Old Primark blanket, cut and sewn to form neck hole of poncho = £2.00 Then I thought, Rifle, shotgun ? Popped over to the local council tip, as I had no pipe to use at home, got a length of pipe, took some cast off timber from the pile I have in Nicola's garden , cut it roughly by hand with a circular saw..... Rifle but shape. Went home Sunday night and started at about 7pm, by 10.30pm, I had sprayed the but of the 44 Magnum satin black, shaped the Shotgun but, painted it and the "barrels" satin black, dried it all over the garage heater, and also in the airing cupboard with the heating turned up high. Result...... Full size replica. Garden timber, and scrap pipe. Single barrel rifle Naaahhh, Scatter gun. Rough shaping of butt done. Hand shaped trigger guard. Hung out to dry. Old leather belt for shoulder strap. Dirty old man ?? Hope you liked the outcome.

	I'd love to hear what you said to the officer when he pulled you!

But if I were pulled, I would explain about the fancy dress party and that would be it. Alternately, I could have gone as a football thug and taken a length of pipe , chair or some similar offensive weapon to beat the living curse word out of an imaginary foe..... Problem is, where do you draw the line ?? One of the guys came as the Incredible Hulk (personally I think he looked best of all the outfits) However, I am sure you know the term "blacking out" from stage and film production point of view? Where an actor is coloured in, or whitened up to create a "new person". I wanted to go as Omar Shariff from Lawrence of Arabia, darkened, in a long flowing robe with head dress and with my moustache and eyebrows blackened with some of Nicolas mascara, but was warned by a colleague that it would be unwise...... Anyway, The party is over, and I have destroyed the offensive weapons in my fire place. But the memories will live with me forever.

	Looking good Rian. I went out round Huddersfield dressed as Achmed from Team America, complete with the brown face paint and everything. Even the Asian lads were curse word themselves laughing. As long as you can tell its a white person dressed up nobody seems to mind. Matt

	Nice one ! We have had a few themed parties here at our house . I would spend many hours building props ,and even more time decorating the house accordingly! I dunno what the locals thought of the various costumed party goers roaming thro' the streets to the parties!

	Lol loving the outfit.. had a party at a mates last year.. theme was a predictable goodies and baddies.. i went with the striped double breasted suit, hat and sub machine gun look (only thing worthy of comment was my uzi was a real although deactivated one) my mate not wanting to be outdone managed to 'borrow' a full set of riot gear from the local police (he worked with them) kitted it out with a full size replica mp5 complete with laser sights etc. Looked ace.. we also had a bin laden two lads in full miami vice get up and three more cops. Party was brill till we got drunk and walked to the pub. An ill concieved idea was hatched... basically Bin laden ran in yelling 'jihad' followed by the cops and our mini swat team.. How we laughed.. unfortunately and obviously it wasn't taken in quite the way we hoped, mainly down to Bin ladens performance.. the majority missed the entrance of swat having flung themselves on the floor..

	I went to a 007 party as Scaramanga. 99p pistol sprayed gold (Man with the Golden Gun ) and a plastic nipple left over from a previous party when I went as Jordan (don't ask!). I secured this third nipple to my chest with a blob of bathroom silicone sealant. Worked a treat, the nipple didn't fall off all night. Unfortunately it didn't want to come off at all! In the end it came off along with some chest hair and left a nice red circular mark for a few days!

	I went as Viv from the Young Ones. Made my own studded jacket and used PVA to glue studs on my forehead. I had a chain and padlock around my neck and put the key in my pocket for safe keeping. I had a bit too much to drink. Woke up the next morning with the chain still around my neck. Had to wander out to the shed in a still-drunken daze to get some pliers to cut it off. Found the key on the street later that day.
