Re: Darth Malgus Costume WIP
Lots going on lately, so I haven't had time to do much.
However the cfx base mask showed up. It is lovely but I want to add a bit to the paint job to get it looking all mean and more Sithly!
I'll get some pics done when I've made some progress. Just waiting for the fresh stock of silicone paint to turn up.
But it did allow me to make a start on the breather mask.
It has to be super light and fitted with LEDs some I went for a foamex construction. I can always cast it at a later date if needed.
Started by making some templates in card and then proceeded to cut, glue and shape each part in the foamex.
I also used some pvc plumbing pipe for the neck conectors and plenty of bondo to make good the edges.
A bit of primer filler and sanding later
I popped in the red LED mounts and gave it its first black colour coats.
For the side tube pieces of the breather mask I used some foamed flexy pipe lagging cut to length and tied some fine elastic at equal increments, popped on some end bits and gave it several coats of black Plastidip.
I attached them into position and threaded some thick elastic through them along with the power wires.
I finished it by airbrushing in some weathering then adding the lights which will be powered by the wire in the spine detail that I'll be adding to the mask. I then took a pic wearing it with a hefty scowl!! Lol
