I'm afraid I don't have any pictures but my two favourites were:

Pulp fiction shot guy - An old T-shirt, some charring and lots of red goop.
Lizardman - Black balaclava and home made lizard mask made from a paper-maché and latex mix.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'd love to see you testing this suit out! That'd be a great story for the pub, afterwards.

There's a pirate theme emerging here. When's that annual pirate day thing? Seems like something we're primed to take advantage of...

Here are a couple of blast test dummies - the special fire-retardent suit I'm wearing protects mannequins from explosive fireballs. You can see my buddy's face is charred from being exposed to many fireballs. I might be more convincing if I wore a suit after it had been in a few explosions, as they get charred and shredded, but I wouldn't want to go through an airport after wearing a suit exposed to explosives. It is pretty obvious from this picture who is the bigger dummy. I've had some interesting jobs over the years...

Of course, if you want to protect yourself from an explosion, you wear a suit like this:
Note the wrist controller to control ventilation, cooling, defogging, headlights and communications, etc.
