Locust costume is, quite simply amazing man, seriously, do you have any build details on this you could share, would love to know more!

and if going by that one, the Sam armor is going to be mind-blowing!

Whats up guys got an update on my wifes armor. here are a couple of pics as it is now. we still have to finish the boots, add the lights and sew the ab armor after that itll be ready for Dragoncon

Wow man...your details on those are great. I especially like the foam straps on the last pic for your wife's armor. The paint is also amazing. Jealous that I don't have a set!

 

[LoveofCountry]

JEEZ!!! her utility pack is freakin amazing. What did you use for the base of the pouches? is it foam? If so it looks totally transformed with all the texture work and hardware.

 

[LoveofCountry]

Additionally, love the texture work on your locust flamethrower, the texturing on your muscle suit looks awesome and so's the color? I'd love to see more of the progress pics of the build.

 

[DJHAMMERHEAD]

Drueling over the details, color and over all build!!! Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!

 

[FenixTalon]

Question for you, what are you using to seal your foam before you paint it?

 

[Rysjin7717]

I'd definately would like ta some more WIP pics lovin' all th' details, th' time an attention paid ta them is amazing keep up th' good job brah.cool

 

[ka5p3r]

thanks for the great comments guys. ill try and upload some WIP shots of everything later today. To answer some of your questions. We actually dont use anything to seal the foam everything is hard painted with acrylic paints. When it comes to the clean seam lines i always glue a very small amount at a time at the line then with that dry i do the fold, For most of the details i use a few different bits as well as wood burning tools. All the pouches were all done from scratch my wife came up with the method for those we had tried a couple different methods before we were able to get thim the way she liked it, as of right now im finishing up building her secound boot and about to start detailing them. She is working on the ab muscles as i type this. After that im going to install the lights. More pics to come
