Re: Logans Run Sandman Costume on Mannequin
Hey everyone! Just posting some images of my boyfriend's 30th birthday present! I still have a few minor adjustments to make. I need to add the back piece to the end barrel of the gun, as well as the top, clear piece to the follower.
I also want to line the vest, to make it a bit smoother. I rushed it slightly, to have it done in time for his Logan's Run themed birthday party. I'll be doing Jessica 6's main costume for Dragon*con this year, as well.
We're looking into to going to an abandoned mall. near by, that has VERY similar architecture to the mall used in the film, for a photoshoot once I get Jessica done!

The palm crystals were purchased on Ebay...I'm sure its the same seller that everyone knows about. She's been selling them for so long! I bought my boyfriend the palm crystals back in 2005, and he couldn't find them this year, so he reordered them from the exact same lady that had them back then.
The gun and follower are made from bass wood and fun foam (the buttons on the follower are sculpted out of Sculpy). Both were made between 1-2 hours. They are in NO way, professionally done, but they're hand made from scratch, and they were made as quickly as possible. For the time crunch, I think they came out pretty good!
I'm going to repaint the gun, since some of the paint clumped in certain areas. The grey strip is hand quilted and the under turtle neck has the same closure as the movie. The pants are purchased cotton leggings, taken in to fit him snuggly. The top is made out of a spandex knit. His shoes are NeoSport, neoprene booties...that coincidentally will be used for his Tron costume as well.
The belt is hand made out of nylon strapping and the piping was hand-done, using extra material from the vest/under shirt. The pellets are hand sculpted out of Sculpy, then painted with metallic silver acrylic.
Once we finish my costume and do the few changes to his, we'll get some hi-res, photoshoot pictures! For now, my boyfriend being silly, in the birthday poster I made for him. He's technically left-handed, hence the placement of the follower on the other side...he's just showing off his crystal -_-:
