I've done it the past two Halloweens, this year snuck up on me and I wasn't prepared with one. I'm thinking of doing one of Dr. Mcninja (It's a webcomic about a ninja doctor )
EDIT: After thinking about it for a moment, If I get a gun, hat, some gloves and a Polly, I can be Shipwreck! I already have the shirt and pants......oh, and I'll have to grow out my beard |

Here's my previous costumes:
Driftbot, First off, kudos on knowing Dr. Mcninja as for being in the Navy, I haven't seen any military service other than being born on an army base. |

well, if you want any "authentic" navy gear for your shippy costume, let me know!
i cant get it for free, but i can get exact sizes, brand new, in abundance! everything i am wearing in the pic is navy issue. only thing is, a few years back the navy changed the pants from the flared dungarees to more conservative "postal worker" pants. doesnt have the same look as shippy, but it works for an updated version. i can even get you some name tapes that say "DELGADO" for the shirt and pants! pretty sure that's how i will go to my first JOE CON! (sans beard. i would have to take at least 2 weeks of leave to grow a decent one. then again, i could always glue on a fake...) halloween is seriously my 2nd favorite holiday. recently my costumes have been the punisher jedi (loosely based off kyle katarn and luke from shadows of the empire) i have pics of the punisher costume at home.

You know all these years of making Halloween costumes for the kids and myself we never did any Joe characters. I've Darth Vader, Paul Stanley, a Vampire, Gene Simmons, a Viking. Can't remember who or whatelse. Maybe I should take shot at it for next year (got something planned for this year)
BTW Shogi awesome job on those costumes. |

I was planning on hitting the army navy store this morning for most the rest of the costume (Polly and the gun will have to come from a Halloween store )
Driftbot, How'd you get the insignia on the shoulder? (Patch, drawn on?) |

yeah its a patch.
but good luck finding a red chief gunner's mate patch for a utility shirt. thats about the most innacurate detail about shipwreck. its on his wrong shoulder, its red (only goes on dress blues), and a chief wears khaki's, not utilities. but, if you want it accurate to joes, you could try to print out the pattern on your computer (should be about 4x8 inches total including "crow"), cut out the shapes leaving a stencil template (trace that on some posterboard and repeat so the paint doesnt bleed through the paper), and mix some delta paint (red for chevrons/rocker, white for crow/crossed canons) with some delta textile additive. get a foam roller, tape the insignia to the arm and paint away! i used this method to make some punisher shirts. it works great!!! speaking of, since i am home now, here are some pics of me as the punisher (note this is not one of the shirts i made)
