Halloween Costume 2008

Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore from the movie Apocalypse Now

A few more related pictures appear below. As a fun game, try to guess which ones are of me in costume, which ones are of Robert Duval from the movie, and which ones are the 12", 1/6 scale, custom-made Kilgore action figure!

You wanna surf soldier? [Yes, sir!] That's good son because you either surf or you fight.

"Charlie don't surf!"

"Two of spades, three of spades, four of diamonds, six of clubs, ace of spades. Isn't one worth a Jack in the whole bunch..."

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning ... smelled like victory."

"Someday this war's gonna end ..."

Your sabres are upside down and you uniform is the wrong era. You need the slant pocket my man. I've got mine all put together and will show you how it's done when I get the pics. lol

Looks pretty sweet but yea you do have the wrong jacket and you got a subdued version of the AirCav logo and Kilgore had a full color version. You can't see that on every picture (due to black and white or topped colors) of him but you certainly can in the movie. Also the collar insignia are sewn-on versions while Killgore had pin-on collar insignia. But who cares, it's a great costume anyways!
