Can you call yourself a purist and include the prequel trilogy? I'm just sayin. :lol

Not to mention a cartoon!
I think that aside from the battle droids "humor" TCW is actually as good or maybe better than the prequels and also cannon. 2 cents

I think Cad Bane would make for a cool costume,as long as you get the "mask" right the rest should fall into place.

Hey All!!
Thanks for your comments and ideas about this character. I hope my progress is worth it!
I started making a negative with the alginate, but it came out very poor.
I made two versions of latex and finally one without negative, but they came out as something that I wasn't looking for.....
Now that I'm convincing myself that this will never work, I'm trying to make an alternative. Of course I still have the sculpture made out of clay, but I'm thinking about making a negative out of fiberglass. (Just with attaching the fiberglass to the sculpture as long as the sculpture is in one piece) It could work, except for the small details, but I don't think that's a big deal.
I thought about vacumforming an ABS mask out of the fiberglass negative for if the latex mask still doesn't work. Much easier for the structure of the face. I could always attach some latex to make it more alien.
Do you guys agree or have got other alternatives for making a good negative? (Not too expensive, I'm just a student:lol)
Greets and many thanks,
Geert
p.s
For if this project turns out good, I will make more Cad Bane masks for the ones who like it!

Cad reminds me of Eddie from Iron Maiden's somewhere in time era...
I don't think a rigid mask would be good... he is supposed to be organic. The latex route, while a pain, seems like a solid way to go.
I'm hoping to see more and more people jump on him... I definitely like the gunslinger look

Yes, you can. It's Lucas' story, no matter how much some of you all hate it to be that way. I like the EU, but again, as Lucas has said himself...If it did not happen on film(Or digital as is the case) it doesn't mean a thing to him. These characters are now canonical. Get used to it.

Here I am again!
Like I said before, I made a fiberglass negative on the clay, but the clay got stuck in the fiberglass.....But now I understand why it such a handy thing to use vaseline....
The clay got out of the negative eventually and I didn't vacuumform, but used a hairdryer to let the ABS melt in the negative.
First I used all small pieces and tried to get them attached to eachother, but it was very hard to keep the lines out of the fase, so I tried to mold it in one piece.
It succeeded and this is the final product:
I hope you like it. It's not really what I imagined but it's good for so far!
I'm planning to cut the eyes out and replace them by red transparant plastic.
The face is going to be a normal blue and I'll try to put some latex on it, so that it's more alien-like.

Hi there,
I couldn't keep my hands still today.
I started with making the four pocket buttons from te Bane coat.
First thing I did was making a wooden prototype that I made of MDF, very simple. Next thing I did was pushing the prototype in some pieces of clay whereafter I poured these holes full of resin.
The outcome were some nice ''arrow'' buttons like the ones worn by Cad Bane.
Here are the pictures:

I sculpted one half of the gauntlets today. I decided to make the gaunts out of two parts, since it is easier to vacuumform.
I hope I can find someone who can do that to me. the other parts will be made out of resin.
I hope you like it!
