Re: 2012 TMNT Replica Costume Sculpt (SHELL COMPLETE)
pads should be done Friday
when I pick them up, I'll drop off the vinyl belt to have it reproduced in leather
in case anyone is dying for an update, Deric just gave me [strike]some[/strike] a head. i'm hoping to paint a first coat of paint on it tomorrow or Friday (depending on how early the head comes in tomorrow). was hoping for a torso, but that should be next week.
i think D finished the moulding/casting of the torso last night, so it should be ready to crank out pretty soon. lookin good!
Can't wait to see how your pads turn out! And the belt has got me super pumped:love
Ya that second post didn't read right. Lucky I'm not nearby or I'd ninja kick you to the face! :behave
I'm not saying I did or didn't send the torso.... :confused
I love this build, my mate is currently finishing up making our 4 suits ready for a convention next week, he sent me pics of the painted up thighs/upper legs and the lower leg/feet being worn by himself and they look AMAZING!!! I'd post pics but he doesn't want it goin out yet....
Well tease me with words and no pictures! I hope you share the suits soon, I understand now what it takes to put one together, a lotta time and effort.
Dericrw your amazing bro. your work is so good, I registered just to say how great it is. your attention to detail is profound and it is so cool to me that you take the time to acknowledge everyone that has given you advice and praise. You have been the inspiration to me to start (and keep working on) my own Donatello Turtle. I'm just hoping it comes out half as well as yours. Thanks man! and may your talents continue to blossom.
Thanks bronco! Glad to see you joined the forum and look forward to seeing your Donatello!! Now we just need to find the other two knuckleheads!
Well I have continued to get molds ready and just about everything besides the shell parts are ready!
Here's some photos of the recent work
Upper Legs are ready to be molded!
The work done on the torso
This is what the registration keys are used for, just for the curious.
Dun Dun Dunnnn!
Got a head finished and sent it south to Jacob for paint.
The head is just a silicone cast, so it stretches downward a bit as seen in the photos. A thin layer of foam to the inside will be a quick fix. But it needs to be PAINTED! :love
Let me know what yall think!
Thanks RPF'ers
