[cripledpredator]

Foamies....sounds promising

 

[davidkraww]

this is coming out great! really excited to see it done!

 

[Batman82]

Update, got the plasma caster mounted to the arm and then to the backpack. (sorry pics kinda dark, will post new ones when finished)  Plasti-dipped the backpack.   Just needs somemore of the hammered steel paint. Then I'm ready for the armor, still waiting on my Mr. I suit to get here so I can get the measurements to do the armor.  Gonna do the belt and hip armor along with the codpiece soon. Won't need the suit for those.

Looks great!

I'm Kinda new to the whole thing here, I have my suit now, but  I'm lost on what exact liquid latex product to get. Can anyone help me out with this? or Tell me what they prefer?  In the mean time I've started some of the armor, and have the blade gauntlet in the works....pics to follow tomorrow.    I also put the final silver coat on the backpack, just need a little more weathering and then done with it.

 

[Batman82]

Update, Finished Backpack-I made it look like all of the sharp edges had been grinded down or sharpened. All of my armor and steel will look like this, I think it gives it a really aggressive look.-Completed 1 Shoulder bell for the shoulder opposite the cannon, and finished the groinflap/codpiece.  Not too shabby for all reinforced foamie!  More to come!

I used monster makers mask latex for the suit if your still looking for that info http://www.monstermakers.com/category/Latex-Halloween-Mask-Making-Supplies.html/index2.html

 

[Batman82]

Thanks I appreciate it, It's what I decided to go with and its on its way.

 

[Batman82]

Update- Got the blades mounted in the gauntlet, will paint the gauntlet today.  Latex for my suit arrives Friday, so I get to start that this weekend!

This build looks great. It will look awsome when it's finished. Keep up the good work...

 

[Batman82]

Thanks!    I finished painting the blade gauntlet, and also made the shin guards which are done out of 3 layers of 3mm foamie glued together, with the texture being layed like blades down the front. Industrial Velcro in the seem in the rear.

Looking great!  Did you airbrush the weathering?

 

[Batman82]

No actually I don't own an airbrush yet.  The weathering is done with strategic spray painting and small model brushes with watered down acrylic paint.
Distance from the nozzle of the spray paint can to the subject plays a huge factor when you don't have an airbrush.  The farther away the lighter the coat and spread of the paint coverage. So the hammered steel farther away from the subject being painted over the black plastidip gives a weathered appearance. Make Sense?

 

[Batman82]

Sorry So long for the update, had a death in the family that's prohibited enough for an update. I did finish the hands and I got the feet today, the picture is of the finished hands minus the perma wet,  and the feet haven't been touched, new out of the package. They will be painted up differently. This week I hope to get more done!

 

[Batman82]

Finished the loin cloth, with thigh and groin armor last night, am prepping to do the duct tape dummy soon, then the latex and suit.

 

[Batman82]

Just finished adding the dreads to the Rubies mask, I'm gonna butcher it up and make a half mask for under the bio. I think it looks pretty legit. Waiting on the magnets to mount the bio.  Also the bones for the necklace I made out of sculpey bake clay.

 

[NeonNoodle]

Awesome build. I'm going to do the foamie route too.
