Love it

Here's my eldest as Revan from Star Wars' The Old Republic. He's 13, so I guess is a Male in Costume entry. Find additional pictures in a build thread here: Revan for eldest's Halloween costume, since I was racing to complete this for Halloween, and apparently raced through reading the contest...

finished costume just before going out Halloween night. mask detail. Came out pretty well, though I think the silver could use some darkening/dirtying up, but I ran out of time. Layers were spray Plastidip, spray gray, red, and silver; weathering with black craft acrylic, and a spray clear coat...

test fitting. The boy built the light saber hilt himself from a paper towel roll and craft foam + a bike bar-end blinky light; hoping to pass on some skills.

Forgot to take into account the extra layers, and when we switched gloves to the ones we had on hand, somehow the vambraces were too tight. Oh well. still looked cool with same sandwich technique foam and rope. Emergency repair needed Halloween night on the hand armor (left) while we sorted out...

Pretty much a first time poster, go easy on me. :) For the past couple of years, I've given the kids a choice: Halloween costume, or Harry Potter Yule Ball (our Holiday Party) costume? I can't do both, so they have to pick. Last year for the eldest, it was Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon...

This is so great. Thanks for the photos and an unexplored material find!! Keep up the great work on this.

How's the progress? I'm supposed to be doing this for the older son for Halloween. Thanks for the great reference photos, and the scales on the under layer look great! Look forward to seeing more as you go.

Beautiful work! I've recently gotten a set of Lewis chess molds and have been casting them and painting them up. I'd like to make a board to go with them as well. What sort of wax did you use on the board?
