The thing that strikes me about all these, is that a costume doesn't really make someone a convincing commissar/space marine/etc. When a high-budget film is produced, there's a casting department as well as a costume department. Even the guys shown here who've put plenty of effort into their costumes still look a bit stupid IMO. That's because they tend to be pale/chubby/scrawny. Good example, that guy dressed as a commissar next to the sister of battle: he's put some effort in, but frankly he looks like a super spindly guy wearing someone else clothes and beard. If you wear fake muttonchops, you need to look like the rest of your face could actually grow a beard. If you wear a trenchcoat with epaulettes and a big collar, you may want to have shoulders and a neck somewhere in there.
