The Halloween hacks are rolling in late this year, but we’re delighted to see that [DJ Sures] finished his borg costume in time. It is made up of a hodge-podge of items from different cultures… oh wait, so are the borg. These include a set of hockey pads spray painted black with just a light misting of silver to give them some depth. After taking the image above (which mostly shows off his makeup) [DJ Sures] added an LCD screen to the chest plate and lighted electronics throughout. See for yourself after the break.
If you liked this you might take a look at his singing spark plug.

Will it assimilate?
Very cool costume. He will definitely stand out on halloween.
Anyone else think its weird that he has a mannequin though?
LOL @ the Borg holding a camera. He must be a true Star Trek fan since he doesn’t have a friend to take the picture for him!
Just kidding! I love Star Trek and that’s an awesome costume. It’s just love nerd jokes too, but usually I’m the nerdiest person in the room so I have to direct them at myself. Rare opportunity.
Will it blend?
Anyone who actually calls themselves “DJ _____” is a raging douchebag.
Hey thanx everyone! Minus the guy who called me a douchebag hahaha. A little research and you’d find out that’s my actual name. ;)
Anyway, if anyone wants more technical information regarding the suit, you can find it here: http://www.dj-sures.com/Blog/2010-10-25+Calgary+Borg+Halloween+Costume
need you get a shot to sty a lifing dead solder or is that not neded for this sute smile
Things I think are cool/well done:
Use of hockey pads.
Electronics.
Wires/tubing.
Lights.
Things that could use work:
-Jacket underneath is a similar color, but does not exactly match making an odd pair.
-You’re and your are different words.
One last thing. THANK YOU so very much for the link to the non-instructables site. That is awesome.
@Chris
Now you look like the douchebag. Hope you’re happy.
@ferdi
Um what?
@ferdi
Uhh, what?
Mind translating that to English for us?
the display is out of place. bleh.
Use rope light instead?
I agree with the display being out of place.
To nerd it up a bit:
Since Borg communicate telepathically, there’s
no need for them to diplay information to each
other using a screen. If they wanted someone else to
The excess of blue LED’s bugs me more, though.
…If they wanted someone else who wasn’t Borg to see something, they’d just assimilate them.
I hit tab to indent and posted prematurely.
I think it’s pretty damn neat!
Great use of items for lots of cool detail, and cool functional bits as well.
You have added their distinctiveness to your own.

I was going to comment about the DJ thing also but my comment was “I hope his name is David Jo or Dennis John or something that starts with a D and a J”
From his About page, for those that can actually read:
“no I’m not a DJ… It’s actually my name, so I get that confusion a lot.”
F U instructables!
Thanks dj-sures :)
