Ackbar, it's a trap!!! finished costume !!

Re: Ackbar, it's a trap!!! Mask and gloves wip......

Looks great! If you don't mind me asking, how are you supporting the extra head space? I would think that the ecoflex would sag around the back of the head and such where the head cast wouldn't be.

thanks.

i rotocasted resin in the top and back of the head and used a foam bike helmet so it could be worn.

yep, fighting with movie accurate eyes, once that is figured out, which i am close we will have a finished mask. i am sculpting the hands now.
 
Re: Ackbar, it's a trap!!! Mask and gloves wip......

here are the hands.......i had real trouble trying to find shots of the palm of the hands and the display hands were in bad shape so it was hard to tell what was damage and what was part of the sculpt.


PALM reference....

Love the hand sculpts, great attention to detail.

Watched the test fit video and it surprised me as to the size of the mask. Didn't really consider it being that big. Great work brother, eagerly awaiting to see the animatronics.

thanks, man.

well, ackbar has a big non-human head. i think alot of folks make ackbar too small. looking at behind the scene footage he had a big head and big set of hands...
