After Wizard World Portland, Krang needed some major upgrades. He didnt hold up to well after only about 6 hours of wear. All of the paint around the neck and arms cracked and he looked pretty rough. I spoke with the amazingly talented Beverly Downen of Downen Creative Studios about how she...

I completely dropped the ball on updating this WIP. Whelp... here is the finished helmet and kit! :D

Thanks bud. After wearing Krang for 6 hours today, I have found that he needs some TLC and some upgrades. He was a big hit, but will not stand up to multiple cons unless tweaks are made. I will be cutting him up and wrapping all of the flesh tone EVA foam with 4 way stretch fabric. He was...

The head is far from done and even farther from perfect, but I got a coat of paint on it and had to wait 45 minutes for it to dry enough to throw the glasses I made on him. Then it was time to suit up! I cant tell you how happy I am with this. So, here's a picture.. They say that they...

I can't wait to get off work! Lol its so close! If I get home on time, I should be able to get a base coat down and suit up!

Here we go.. Had to start over with the Rebound 25. Time for some Smoothcast 65d 45 minutes later... The mold collapsed a little under the chin on one side. Screw it.. I will fix it later on the next casting. I gotta get this baby finished for Wizard World in Portland, OR. So, on...

I am using Smooth-On Rebound 25. The tint I used is from TAP plastics. I am at work and can't give much more in the way of specifics on the tint. I put in about half a. Teaspoon because the instructions were rubbed off the label of the pigment, so I guessed. Something I will not be doing...

Well, I put the sticky mess in the bathroom last night with a space heater. It was close to 100 degrees F in there. It's better than it was, but still not set up enough to add another coat. My work week is back so, it will have the next 4 days to set up. I hope it's good to go by then...

I picked up a pair of helmet kits from Lonewolf1183. My wife and I are starting on a pair of kits to hopefully submit to the approval team in the next couple of months. An Executioner and a Blank showed up on my door step. I'm very pleased with them both. I figured I would put up a WIP to...

Well, I'm sad to report that i have hit a road bump. I added a little bit of pigment to one of the layers of silicone and I apparently added too much because now it isnt curing. I'm going to stick it in the bathroom with a small space heater to hopefully get this thing to cure. Its been over...

Awesome! I look forward to seeing you there!!! :D Heck yeah! I am going to order a little PA system and wire that bad boy in! :D But ITS GOING DOWN TONIGHT!!

HAHAHA Finally. The last pieces of the puzzle. I cant wait for this work week to be over. Thi-vex and Plastipaste arrived! Now, all I need is the weekend to get here!

:D Thanks! I am so anxious to post progress because I am so close to starting the final part of this build. FedEx cannot get here fast enough! :D

As I said guys. I'm completely ignorant and am only regurgetating what I've been told. All of you that have done this before know much more than I. ;)

Interesting info. I've spent the last couple of months watching molding and casting videos. I have seen many others use different brands and types of resin. This is my first time doing anthing like this. I spoke with Steven K Smith from SKS Props and Mynock from Mynock's den and both...
