Im starting a new project, I want to create a Borg Costume. Its something ive wanted to do for a few years. I have been researching different characters and have settled on a Borg Toy that I own. the Toy is Klingon, im not sure if i want to go Klingon aswell. There are large panels on this costume with raised edges (see legs) im trying to figure out what is the best method.. to produce these.. also inbetween the panels are what looks like a piles or wires underneath.. i wonder if i could just make a silicone mold of wires, so its thin and not too heavy.I am a Graphic designer and work with Cinema 4D regularly and i have a close friend with a CNC so im sure i can get some stuff (even 3d) CNC'd out for me if needed.. but is there some kind of clay that I could just mold and into the pieces and once hardened could be used directly.? I was thinking of first creating a simple template for the costume using foam sheeting..so i get my sizing right.. im not nearly as fit as this toy... , I have no experience with making Molds and little carving experience but I am pretty handy. any tips or suggestions from anyone on which direction i should move would be appreciated..
