I was at a convention recently and there was this lady selling off Shark teeth a mixture of various sizes I figured I had to get some for the costume, I finally got round to making the necklace last night
but then came the moment of truth, my intention was always to try the suit on last night, and so I began attempting to remove the dummy from inside. This was such a task. WOW, latex had obviously seeped through the material of the Mr I costume and has stuck to the Duct tape. Fortunately it comes away pretty easily but you do need to get in there and pull. After about an hour and a half I finally got the whole dummy out of the suit. So then it was time to try it on...
First the legs, not to bad. Then the arms, this is where I heard something I hoped not to hear. Sounded like paper tearing, turns out the but of the suit was for whatever reason no longer stretchy, the second my fat arse got inside the suit it tore. Now luckily I think this is a pretty simple fix Im going to add some stretchy material to the butt section and patch up the damage, BUT the other thing is where the latex shrunk a little (Im going with latex shrinking and not me getting fatter) the back no longer closes. So Im thinking I might have to add some stretchy material to that also and then the zip. Again luckily most of the areas that were damaged get hidden by armour so i think as it is right now, Im making good time for Scarefest
I had my daughter take a quick photo of me in the suit, problem was the light was right above me and the camera couldnt focus so the picture isnt very good quality but you get the idea.
