I had planned to do both Loki and Gambit this year, but after ordering and receiving a terrible Chinese rip off cosplay for Loki from Ebay that isn't in any way wearable, I'm focusing all of my energy on Gambit. I decided to go with a semi custom design, which I like because it allows me a bit...

Do you still have these available?

I settled on this.. silicone caulk mixed with neon food coloring. I'm also going to mix in some highlighter fluid so it will glow under black light. Trying to figure out the best placement of lights.

Yep, the trick is the double wall. I've yet to figure out a feasible way of doing it. They don't make this particular bottle in any smaller sizes. so the whole putting a smaller one inside a bigger one won't work here.

It's just what I have on hand right now to test with. I can get my hands on clear resin, but if rolling the home depot resin around in it isn't doing the trick at least in theory, then I wouldn't want to spend a ton of money on clear resin only to have it not work. I've tried the caulk and it...

Yeah, what I was trying to do is just coat the inside with a thin layer and not actually filling the thing up. So far, my tests with regular ol resin from home depot haven't turned out too great. Someone suggested I may be able to "paint" the inside with a mixture of rubber cement and a tiny bit...

Yes please! I'm about to make a run to the craft store!

I'm working on a prop from The Real Ghostbusters cartoon. I'm trying to recreate the "Peoplebusters" pack. Which is basically a clear tank filled with slime, and eyeballs floating around in it. Seems easy enough of a design from a cartoon standpoint, but a bit more difficult to replicate in...

Does he have one or two? I know he carries a Custom Colt Gold Trophy, but does he have one or two?

I spent much of last year working on a 90's TMNT movie style costume. I'm very proud of the work I did considering I'd never sculpted or done anything like this before. I've worn it to several conventions and I've won several costume contests, and the kids and everybody in general loves it. I...

Is it possible to spray glue on TOP of the spandex in spots where it might not be sticking as well or is it bad form to do that?

Yep, I was in the parade! It was SOOOO hot, but luckily it wasn't too hot outside, which made it somewhat bearable. The kids loved it and everybody at the con also seemed to go nuts over it.. Here's a few pictures from Dragon Con. In the Parade.. Awesome pic during the parade. And...

And we are done! Just in time for Dragon Con!

The Kryolan isn't flexible though is it? Some of my pieces stretch a good bit to put them on.

I've painted a latex mask with acrylic paint mixed with latex for the first 2-3 layers, then I went back with just straight acrylic thinned down with alcohol in an airbrush. It looks great, but I noticed that if I handle the pieces very rough it will rub off. Is there any way to seal it to keep...
