Thing is, I'm far from a professional. My foray into propmaking started around October of last year when I started work on my Portal Gun. After that, I decided to do more of this stuff, but I'm still just a hobbyist. "Professionally" I work as a Graphic Designer at an ad agency in Atlanta.
All of my props are built out of my garage, with mostly simple bench tools, all in my free time.
I do appreciate the compliment that I have so much skill I could do a great job even phoning in a build, but I assure you thats not the case. If it seems that way, its just because I don't document my numerous screw-ups in my blog!

Generally the people who do the costumes of various sorts are just people who are REALLY into said video game, anime, etc. They then start from scratch and depending on variables such as tools, materials, time, and overall commitment to the project. They then give it a shot and, based on these variables, the costume comes out to some degree of quality. This guy though could not particularly give a rats and still do an absolute top notch job.
The suit is absolutely beautiful (i cant believe the drill actually spins!)and i truly admire him for his talent, but this is almost like comparing food prepared by someone like me who cook every once in a while, to a gourmet meal prepared by a 5 star world renowned chef.

Kidding. That's awesome. And a little scary how much time was devoted to it.
