This is the start of my Graverobber costume. It seems I start on the props before I ever start the costume now-a-days.

I finished my Z-gun. I will start on my Graverobber costume MAYBE next payday.

Thought I was done here, but I was wrong. I noticed that there was a few details I missed, so I had to go back and fix them.

I hope to get the costume started really soon. I go kinda crazy when it comes to the littlest of deatils. *see my protonpack or any other of my costumes*

I will soon be adding small LEDs into my Zydrate vials to give them that glow that Zydrate seems to have.

Zydrate comes in a little plastic vial?

Looks cool. I need to do one myself sometime.

[MooCriket]

Very Cool:cool Great Work:thumbsup

 

[Zander]

Thanx guys. I should have some pics of my glowing Z-Vials soon.

 

[blewis17]

Nice!

 

[Zander]

Cant pick between a brightass white led, seeing how the vial itself is blue, or a nice blue LED.

>.<

 

[DBoz]

Great work. You really look the part. I think I would go with a blue LED as the bright white may wash the blue color of the tube out some. Or, you can try one of each and post pics so we can see the difference.

i may do that. i have about 12 vials

 

[GeneralFROSTY]

If you perfect your design, I hope you would consider selling kits.
So long as the little glass vial goes into the gun like a battery....

 

[Zander]

my vial dose go into the gun like a battery. lol. also; i do take commissions on my Z-guns

 

[Zander]

haven't been to radio shack just yet, but....


Here are shots of the whole costume, or atleast what I have so far.

Zydrate: Now with 100% more glow.

 

[Zander]

Started a new little project today guys.

^_^

Started off with this, but in red.

Then painted it black (no pic, sorry), then silver(no pic again), and then attacked it with fine sandpaper to weather it a bit.

Then mixed some LA Looks hairgel with a drop of blue food coloring.

I then cut the needle and added epoxy puddy to make a rounded tip. It kinda looks like a q-tip at this point. Once it is dry and painted, I will post pics.

 

[Zander]

Started making the Mock-Up of my tool-kit today. Using funfoam to do this. If it turns out good enough, I will cover it with fake leather and use it.

^_^

This is Terrance Zdunich himself, Graverobber/Creator of REPO, holding a Z-Gun I made.

*dies*

Oh....And he signed my Graverobber boot

 

[Oktopus]
