I agree with eightbitinfinit the top muscles seem a bit smaller and further down than in theimage you're referencing.
Scott Eastman posts on DeviantArt and with the movie being put together with the Turtles as aliens I really like seeing the traditional turtle costume being put together.
Love the work you're doing.

I looked at your suggestion and compared it to the other reference photos and have tweaked the deltoid. Thanks, for taking the time to draw that up. Take a look at the changes!chanfan said:
Well thanks! It will never be Spina's because its a restoration of an original.nitrox said:
DragonSkin a platinum-silicone by smooth-on. I will probably back it later with foam to give it structural integrity.doc said:
It is an art for sure. Other members have clearly shown what is possible with it! Thanksangelousprime23 said:
Well I tried to use your detailed description the best I could. Take a look, I tried to take your suggestions straight to the sculpt. Thank you!eightbitinfinit said:
Hey Jacob! Not sure yet on selling, but it would be nice to offer a limited run later. I'm 6ft 190lbs. I have made the costume capable of fitting a little big but I also feel that it could be trimmed for smaller. I posted on your thread to try and give you some starters for your own. If you need any help, I'll sure try!jacobzking said:
looking good. are you planning on making extras to sell? how big are you? i watch custompropsculptor... for a while. his looked great but he sorta burned a lot of people it seems like. another dude is working one one that looks promising... but I'm 6'2" 220lbs and worry I won't ever fit in to any suit that anyone makes.
i'd try and make my own like you're doing but would have NO idea where to start.
maybe one day I'll do my own like you are... start with hands and see how that comes out. any pointers on where to start? how to make hand mold... what to use, etc...
Ya, I agreed as well. See if it looks better with the changes!BrianCoyDesign said:
THEY ARE NOT ALIENS. Hahaaa!
So with the above suggestions, here is the changed deltoids. Also extended the neck and extended the body.
I also wrapped up the upper legs. Please look'em over!
So after I get the thumbs up from those helping this build out with their comments and suggestions I will move forward with molding all these sculpts. (Note: forearm/hands are already molded)
My wife is also starting to sculpt! Check out her bird, Hahaa
Well let me know what you think, so I can get to molding this mess! Later RPF'ers
Now this is absolutely amazing!
Wonder how much time and money you spend on this. Over here in Germany you pay a hell of a lot money for all the needed materials.
this is so badass. I can't wait to see it all put together!
Great work! I like the changes you made!
It's looking great, the muscle definition is awesome and it looks like the original costume!
However, if you are going to do more work on it before molding, I would prolly push the shoulder/biceps connection even further up. Something like this:
Thank you! Its been a pretty penny, but has been an enjoyable hobby.Bane 187 said:

Thanks for your help! I truly appreciate iteightbitinfinit said:
Your photoshop skills are impressive! I wish your changes would just happen to the sculpt without me lifting a finger! Once again I will most likely take your advise and apply it to the sculpt. Thank you very much!chanfan said:
Took a break from sculpting, and started the mold for the ......... HEAD!
Below is the photos of the first coat (print coat to pick up the details), few coats later, and some pictures of my new keys (wife found this packaging in a shipment she received. It works great!)
Question for the molders out there.
Are these keys large enough to work properly?
Well progress will be slow this weekend. Taking a weekend get away with the wife. SHE DESERVES IT!
Yes those will work! and you have enough of them. I"m assuming your making a 2 part jacket?
Sweet! Ya 2 part jacket with the split dividing the front and back. A cut seam will be running down the backside of the head to the top of the head. This way if there is a seam it will be covered mostly by the bandana.eightbitinfinit said:
Flipped the piece over to coat the underside and add some keys!
Won't be long and I will have a pull YEAH!
Haha yeah i know, I wish it was that simple in real life!
Nice mold! Can't wait til I get to do that to my endoskull! Do you use any release agent before you apply the silicone?
Your endoskull is awesome! Yes most definately use a release agent. Never can be too safe. I use smoothon's mold release 200. Hurry up and mold that bad boy!chanfan said:

holly cow that's totaly amazing work dude ... I'm planning to build my own too...
Thanks Dan20lancer!
Well I continued to add rebound 25 to the sculpts tonight. This project is beginning to really show its expensive side.
The head took about 1/3 of a gallon of rebound 25. The upper legs I'm guessing will take a lil more than 2/3 of a gallon.
Finished.
Print Coat
Thick coat
This may be expensive but its kinda fun! Later RPF'ers
looking pretty impressive. now you've really got me thinking about doing my own.
Go for it! I have added some length to some pieces to allow it to fit a taller person. It can easily be trimmed for shorter.jacobzking said:
Ready for molding
Started molding but added length once again! Waist should come up much higher now to ensure proper coverage
HEAD MOLDED (almost no visible seam as you can see in the last photos)
With the added length to the pieces I can go back to molding the rest. Will also be building a rotational caster soon to expedite the process and ensure even coverage!
Lots of work to go! Later RPF
literally 30 seconds before my email dinged to tell me you updated this thread, i was just whining to my brother about never finding a suit tall enough for me
Hahaaa quit your whining! There's a good chance this one would fit ya. Let's both just hope all the molds come out nice! Spending the weekend as a chemist by mixing up silicone and brushing it on the sculpts.jacobzking said:

Interesting mold method! What material will you be casting into the mold?
The upper legs was very unorthodox to say the least! But after I started molding it, I felt uncertain about the length so I cut back the mold to add more clay to the sculpture.westies 14 said:
Casting material is a platinum silicon, dragon skin from smoothon. May add a foam backing, not sure yet.
The arms have been casted and can be seen earlier in the thread!
Wow man that's great work. I've been fighting to get a Casey jones mask to take shape for the last two days. I'm still kinda new to all of this. I wanna make a shredder costume next.
Thanks! Looks like a good pepakura start! Be sure to share your progress.diablopartain said:

Holy crap, this is awesome! Iīd love to have one of those!
might try one after finishing my TDK cowl molding progress.
