Thank you so much!Amazing work so far! Following, and excited for future updates!
I’ve tossed around the idea of doing a Bouncer or a Rosie for yeeeeears. What are your plans for the suit? I completely agree on your keeping the game “girth”, and curious if you have any ideas on how to carry that over into the dive suit.
Best of luck!
Looks amazing! I'm excited to follow and see the rest of the costume come together. I'm glad you're bulking out your frame and extending your arms and legs--I think the biggest failure with most Big Daddy cosplayers is "bobblehead syndrome", and it sounds like you've nipped it in the bud.
Do you mind if I ask how you achieved your finish? What were your texturing/painting techniques? I've been wanting to re-paint an old Pyramid Head, and I think the sort of pebbly sand-cast texture you've got here is exactly what I'd be aiming for (I'd just finish it as rusty iron instead of tarnished brass). Either way, your paint job is gorgeous
Might end up having to be what I go with, that looks really dang good! The sleeve is cheap so what I'll probably do is get the PVC Electrical Conduit and the sleeve to go around it and try it alone and with the sleeve and see what works the best.Another close up
Thank you so much! I actually just got back today from a long trip down to Florida. Hopefully I’ll be able to work on it some again this week!This is STUNNING! All the subtle textures just give it so much depth and the paint is mind-blowing. I can't wait to see this in person at DC!
So it was actually a real diving wingnut that I molded and cast multiple of. It's kind of a junk mold to be honest with you, as when I pulled the wingnut out it ended up pulling some of the silicone where the "bolt" would sit with it. But since that area was being covered with the bolts, it ended up being okay.Just curious, where did you get the 'knobs' that you used for the wingnuts around the breastplate? I'm currently making a Mark IV diving helm replica and need something like that
