Okay, last update! I did two coats of matte clear coating and then tied it onto a leather necklace. I wanted it to appear “rustic” and like something that could’ve been assembled maybe in the field upon finding the pendant and have a little bit of an interesting look / texture. Used sliding...

So I ended up casting two of them and painted them. One is finished, I’m going to quickly paint the other and test some clear-coat sealants. I have a glossy coat on hand but I don’t want to ruin the effect of having the gold shine and the other layers of paint not shiny / metallic as it...

Thanks! I briefly considered using sheets of foam to use as layers and then covering it with either epoxy or clay but decided against it. I also bought some thin tubing for the spiral but decided to do it in clay as well.

Hey all! I just wanted to share a bit about this little prop / costume accessory I've been working on. It's the Nur-Ab-Sal necklace pendant, or simply the Atlantean pendant from the '92 computer game, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. I became obsessive about wanting to make this about...

Hey everyone! I've had an account for years but never posted an introduction. A little about myself: I joined the old predator costuming forum, The Hunter's Lair back in 2002 or 2003 in my early teens. I dabbled in making some predator armor stuff but never got around to doing my own suit or...

For what it's worth, I work at a pet store and there are several different colors of sand available all the time. Actually, the calcium sand used for reptile cages tends to stain pretty easily, something having to do with the dye. I don't think they're the right color in the bags but if you...

Is the font not the "Nasalization" font used elsewhere on the suit? It looks like a slightly more "bold" version of the font.

That looks pretty spot-on! Amazing work!

Do I really need to pay money to download a picture from that site?

They may be molded into the helmet, and colored green for the "stunt" helmets and colored a better color for the hero helmets.

Those are for CG effects. The green markers create an easy placement for CGI elements into a scene. They could be using this for the glass visor parts for the entire film or for specific "stunts" or shots that require movement that may otherwise break or damage the glass or hurt the actor.

Well he does have the tally marks in the Hab to count the Sols. And his entry logs which I assume are daily.

I think it would be more useful to be synced with Earth, as that's what the Hermes crew as well as all of NASA are using. If nothing else, so he can go "oh hey, it's Christmas today." If I was on Mars, I would want to know what earth time was so I could think of when a possible re supply or...

I considering getting a GoPro but I don't think I could justify a $500 camera for such a small part of the costume. Anybody else have hi-res images of the feet? Specifically the straps that hold on the ankle armor? The picture above seems to be the best angle so far.

Wow! That looks awesome. Any chance you'll upload the model when you've got it tweaked to perfection? I'm taking a vacation this week but I think I'll have some down time to work on a model for the chest and back pieces. I hope to use them at least for reference for my build.
