oooohhh nice

My friends eldest needs a badass costume. I needed a use for my massive amount of orphaned castings from this one cosplay project.  currently all the placements are done. Everything will need stitching, it s basically a leather work job. The castings are PU and I ve found nothing that sticks to it. We ll do weathering and detailing end of the month.

seriously, having friends with mad skills makes life awesome....pay it sideways

So, late, late last night I finished Ron. Lots of technique here but I will create a full Ron thread and cover the makeup, effects, costume and props separately. After I finished the meme, I was just too tired to post so here is my closest comp pic to the original meme. The mole is there too but focus was lost after it became a meme.

Hello,
  I am working on new monster gloves. I built a couple of left and right hand armatures out of Loctite Spray foam with a wire frame underneath. I used that to build my monster gloves on. I made the fingers and thumb removable to make it easier to remove. Problem is I am still having problems demoulding the gloves. Broke one of the armatures and the hand is caught inside the monster glove. So I have need for advice that is divided in A and B questions.

  A: What can I do to remove these gloves now to salvage them?

B: I need to know if my plan for building my next pair of hand armatures as thin as possible, down to the wire frame and just sculpt the design of the gloves in clay, make a two part mould and then use the hand armatures as the core to make the gloves on will be the best way to go about it or if anyone can advise other wise.

      These will be Special effect latex gloves that fit like a second skin for the wearer. Do the stretch material will be added to the armatures post putting them in the moulds for the final results.

  Here are some pics of the current ones I’m struggling with. Your advice will be very much appreciated.

I finished this prop a few weeks ago.

Finished my oven. Bought a cheap mixer and made my foam latex Vampire brow with cheeks. I just got some teeth so now I need to put it all together and do the makeup.

I am so happy I have no real deadlines on my hobby. I am currently prepping costume and props for Mel Gibson as The Patriot, Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG1, Aquaman, and Denethor from Lord of the Rings.

I just wore my Ferengi prosthetics at their first large event, STLV. Next steps for this outfit include creating a more screen-accurate vest, sculpting a custom set of teeth, and practicing makeup application more. I also have some thoughts about a version two for the prosthetics, but that will involve another round of sculpture. In the meantime, here are some shots of the prosthetics and molds from my portfolio, and one of me in costume in the casino:

Short update on the workbench today:

Denethor's dinner scene: Robe, under robes, pitcher, goblet..... cherry tomato

Mel Gibson, The Patriot: Rescues his son from the wagon train in the woods: Guns, clothes, tomahawk, knife, etecetera: 



and Daniel from Stargate:



All are still in the works. Will create build threads for each when complete.
