Well, got started on this today. I found the 13 gallon trash can at Family Dollar of all places (for $7). They didn't have the 8 gallon so I got one a little smaller for the shoulder pads. They turned out better than I thought.
Might have to go back tomorrow and get another 13 gallon one for the rest of the pieces. I got careless while cutting these out and cracked the bottom of the left chest plate, but I'll just fix it with some bondo or epoxy. Here's what I have so far...
