Big Red Build (First hunt)

[Alex Hayashi]

So I finally got my account back! I figured as I'm currently working on my Ram build I'd show my Big Red costume.

First starting off was the leg guards, rather daunting being my first time working with EVA foam but turned out pretty well, needed stuffing given my slender frame.

Next up we have the side guards, these were the most fun to paint.

Next up we have the shoulder pieces, mostly held together with velcro attached to my morphsuit.

Next up we have the chest piece, this was the biggest pain to build trying to get it shaped around my body, wish it turned out a bit better, then again my mask and dreadlocks cover most of it.

Next up we have the gauntlet next to my glove while being sealed for painting.

And last but not least my favorite armor piece to build, the belt. Made from an actual belt.

And here we have me in full armor before painting with the lioncloth.

Now we can get the good stuff, the latex.

This being my first attempt airbrushing I did make a few mistakes (Biggest regret is using way too much orange compared to the traditional beige skin color) but regardless I'm proud of how it came out for my first try.

Hope you guys enjoyed, I'll be sure to gather the convention photos.

And here's all the con photos I gathered! Was gonna wear my Bio but was worried it would fall off and break as the magnets weren't strong enough.

HEY AWESOME PICTURES Alex! Sorry I missed out on your first big hunt. How long did you work on THIS build I feel like it came out of nowhere

Took about two months making this one making everything out of foam, where as the Ram build took multiple months finding parts putting it all together.
