Giant hermit crab creature suit inspired by Fallout

Greg Popovich

I'm a full-time professor of exercise science and an amateur monster maker. This is my first creature suit build, which spanned about 2 years from start to completion. It's fully mobile, has working lights, and breaks down for transportation. The suit is primarily EVA foam, pool noodles, and spray foam. The bus has real wheels and an axle, EVA foam bumper and trim, with fabric and upholstery foam stretched over a PVC frame. There's a junkpile of trinkets held together with spray foam. For scale, the claw alone fills up the backseat of my car (which is why it only has one!). This design has appeared in the videogames Fallout 4 and Fallout 76. What motivated me is that I'd never seen anyone take this on, and I was excited about painting those radiant crabby colors. I've included some video clips so you can see it in action. I hope you guys dig it!
