    Hey guys, not sure where is the best place to put this so figured most people would see it here...

    Looking for two things for a costume for Halloween and having difficulty locating them.

    First is a clear plastic rain coat. I'm a big guy so sizing is also an issue. 6'5..

    Second is an axe. Now i know i can buy an axe but i cant really take it anywhere with me!! so how to construct one from paper or hard cardboard would be helpful..

    so can anyone help me with either of these items? Also dont want to spend a fortune so charity shop or the like that might have something is also golden..

    Cheers and thanks in advance.

    N.

    ps the costume is the guy from american psycho if anyone is curious..

    I'd have guessed you were a Deadly Premonition fan for a sec there. That'd have been cooler.

    Dunnes have clear plastic raincoats. They have stands near the tills with suitcase locks, travel adapters and other travel things.

    and raincoats. in little packs, they are really big!

    For the axe cut out some cardboard and cover with tinfoil and brown paper.

    You'll pick up a rain-mack in a 2 euro shop.

    Eh, if you think charity shops are expensive you should just go as a bag of rubbish.

    You can get plastic axes in most costume shops.
