Alright so basically, I watched Hellboy a couple weeks ago and remembered how much I liked it.
This whole Kroenen frenzy started because hell, he's got some badass moves. Anyways, I really inspired myself from TestEagle, which I
believe made an astonishing replica of Kroenen in the opening scene. Here's where I am at right now, and thanks to TestEagle for sharing pictures and links so
I could assemble my own Kroenen costume!
Still missing: P08 replica pistol (might go for P38, it looks cool), belt buckle, belt dagger and some insignas.
I will also bring my overcoat to a friend, which can hopefully make it longer by 8 inches or so, because with all the layers under it, it shortens it a couple inches.
The cap had to be fixed in place with some velcro, otherwise it would not fit. Went for 62 cm, should have gotten 64 cm. Maybe later, but for now it works.
Tell me what you guys think !

Nice effort, I looked into doing one of these years ago but never got round to it, he was an awesome character in his own way.

Thanks guys. Yeah I agree some work is yet to be done.
I have quite a bit of pieces that should arrive this week and the next one.
Missing badges, belt buckle, new cap (hope it fits better!), replica dagger.
Should make it a bit more complete. And as for the painting of the mask, I'm still pondering wether I'll do it or not. I kind of like the silver mouth piece. Sticks out more and fits with the cap color. But maybe I will after I see the complete look. Will upload pictures when I receive the stuff!

Update! yay
Received bunch of stuff to add to the costume in the course of the last week.
Was lucky enough to find a local replica of the dagger, which I'm very happy with.
Apart from that, got the new belt buckle and the two pocket pins.
Still looking for a more suitable coat though..
Anyway, here's so quickly taken pics!View attachment 681893View attachment 681892View attachment 681894View attachment 681895View attachment 681896View attachment 681897View attachment 681898

I have also been slowly working on a Kroenen suit as well as a Liz Sherman from Hellboy 2. May I ask where you found the belt buckle?

The huge Teddy in the background is a nice contrast to the menacing character ...

Looks great. I agree about the cap...go bigger.

Well done!

Thanks guy! Yeah the teddy bear is contrasting enough ahah.
Montysaurus, I'm currently waiting for measurement details about the southbeachleather coats so shouls be ordering soon if sizing is satisfying.
Kitty Butler, I've purchased the belt buckle on epicmilitaria.com (as for all the badges also).
And for the cap, a bit disappointed as even the biggest size (65-65 cm) doesn't fit better than the current one so might stay with this one... although the mirror used to take the pics deforms a bit so it's not as 'bubbly' as it seems.
