Don Robert's GUYVER VALCURIA - FINISHED (pic heavy)

[izabel]

As promised here are the preliminary photos/progress of our Guyver costume. We plan to launch this for the upcoming toycon on June 19. We do hope we can finish both - Guyver 1 for Don Robert & Guyver 2 a.k.a Guyver Valcuria for me. If ever, Valcuria will be done first.

First of, as reference, here are the guyvers:

Guyver 1

Guyver 2 - Valcuria

These are toy & anime references. Valcuria was introduced in the anime OVA Guyver:Out of Control

But Robert prefers the movie version. It's more organic,textured and detailed. Initially we might do the smooth finish versions first due to time constraints but eventually we'll be updating it to the organic look of the movie version.

And here it is :rolleyes

I found a pep for the helm (will credit later because i forgot). I assembled it to see how it looks. It's kinda big but Robert will adjust via free hand. Armor will be done freehand as it will be impractical to pep the whole thing although there is a file - still unfolded though.

The texture of the fig is what Robert will be going for. We might start on this on teh 15th after we finish the commission project we have. We'll keep you posted.

That may or may not be the guy but I do know that there's also a guy out there who has made a Guyver suit almost entirely out of hot glue.

question with teh hot glue sculpt. are you guys saying that teh sculpting are done by hot glue? how? wouldn't it melt if temperature becomes too high?

His sculpts are done with clay on a full life body cast. he casts the finished piece and then will use hot glue to create the final product. heres his site

He was also used as a booth model on the USA re-release of the new guyver series for ADV.

I was wondering that... does it get really hot wearing those suits? I can't really remember how hot it gets there.. I haven't been in the Philippine in 20yrs...

This thread makes me miss the Guyver helmet I have back home in England

It also makes me extremely happy. I love Guyver and can't wait to see the progress on this one.

Re: Don Robert's GUYVER- W.I.P (pic heavy)

Yeah the bioweapon guyver suit rocks... it's great that it's all made out of hot glue. However, if you're doing the whole think in high temp hot glue - it would have to be really hot outside for the glue to go back to a liquid state while you're wearing it.

Anyhow... it's beside the point... I'm anxious to see that guyver helmet completed (well both your suits - but I'd settle for a helmet ) it looks like it's well underway.

Intrigued about what you said in your first post Izabel... you mean June 19 ... like in 8 days ??? Are the days longer in Phillipines or is it just me that's too slow ???

yup. June 19. It's a cosplay Convention. 2 days until 20th.

Well, teh days aren't longer here. We're going to at least target to finish one. If not, oh well we have to resort to plan B. :lol

yeah sometimes, depends on the event area really. but even though you're in a mall with aircon, with all the people around you in a convention - cosplayers, photographers, con-goers, it gets hot especially if the location is small. Megamall megatrade halls used to be big before but because cosplay is becoming mainstream, apparently it's not so big anymore.:lol

I'm expecting a marketplace on these dates. It's gotta be. :lol
