Thanks! Would be awesome to see more of Todd's stuff turn into full size reality! This has been fun all the way through. Ive been looking at the spawn website and the other figures they have trying to see what my next project could be.

sorry for no updates... after halloween I just kinda stopped after I ran into a few problems. First problem I ran into was the shirt I had to make. Making a mummy like shirt that you can take on and off was not easy to make at least for me lol.
After I got the shirt made which I am still not in love with I found that the bracers didn't close due to the extra material. So now I have to use extra fabric just to tie them down. Another thing that didn't work out was the hood doesn't want to hold its shape once I start sweating so I need to figure a permanent way to keep its shape.
Now im trying to either find a mask I can wear under my hood or go the expensive route and buy a prosthetic and all the materials that go with it. If anyone knows of a good mask or place to buy a prosthetic please let me know!

I found a few that might work. I really wanted to do a prosthetic but that's a really costly and I can't just put it on and go.

i was thinking that it would be cool if you wore a second skin white body suit, and air brushed the zombie details and stuff. like you could use the same technique they use for spider-man or whatever, by adding the shadows of the muscles and change the skin color (this would also make you look super ripped like the character/toy). then putting the scar stitches or protruding veins glued over the body suit so it looks 3-d or really on the skin. the skin tightness of the suit would make it so you don't need to add extra room for the bracers not fitting. and it might help with the sweating. as for the mouth part you might be able to use the zombie mouth part of blackest night batman mask. i cut out mine for a tdkr comic style costume. and i kept the mouth as a zombie mouth for halloween. or you could just paint your face. but basically most of my ideas seem like stuff you're already good at like painting and gluing details. hope my ideas help somehow.

I never thought of a body suit. After looking into that the way some people do Predator body suits might be the way I go. Those mask are pretty good I'll check those out.
