Jeez major kudos...you have a major talent sir... You have really helped my build with your details on using the foam to create muscles which I will use for my pred build. I have a sh@tload of foam which I got for free from a foam factory. Just asked for any off cuts they were throwing out and there was a lot... Your hulk has inspired me to start using this and appease my partner who wants to use the space for the baby's room..

Again, thanks for all the kind words, I am glad that my build has helped idea generation for others.
I am finishing up the latex, latex is definitely touchy stuff, I now have three coats on everything which I do not want to do another as it seems that every coat get progressively more finicky than the last. I will be Airbrushing the suit for the next couple days, I will have it completed by Friday and will have pictures up when it's done.

Okay so we finished the latex on the torso and legs, and are doing finishing touches on feet and hands (fingernails, veins, bone structure, etc...)
Yesterday we spent several hours on veins. At first we used a technique we got of youtube to put tinfoil in a cookie sheet and make the veins on the tin foil. It worked ok but the veins seemed to flatten out and it was a pain in the but contouring the dried veins onto the body. After installing 3-4 veins I elected to just make veins on the suit itself which worked much better. The did not sink down and go flat on the suit because the suits surface was not slippery like the tin-foil. The veins are still wet but when they dried the color was still more yellow then the base suit. The color we mixed in the latex was too cartoon Hulk green as you can see in the picture and video, suprisingly the suit color looks much different in the sun than interior lighting.
To get the coloration more in the real of the Avengers Hulk I went out and bought a air brush and compressor. I never used an airbrush before so I watched some online airbrushing videos.
Oh and By the way Hulk doesn't fit through doorways or hallways.

Will post more tomorrow it's late and I'm too tired to add more details tonight.

The last pictures and video I posted was just latex with green and yellow die pigment in it. It looks to much like the cartoon Hulk. Here is a picture of the first two airbrushed layers, I added a thin layer of beige to lighten it up and some yellow to get rid of the cartoon green and make it look like the Avengers Hulk. I haven't done any airbrushing on the feet yet so you can see the difference between the base latex coat versus the airbrushed layers.
My wife also added velcro at the waist to connect the top and bottom halves and it works really great, made the costume stiffer to move around in but visually you can't tell it is stiffer. This video was taken before the airbrushed layers so its just the latex base and it looks way different outside than it does in interior lighting.
PS. Hulk is naked in the video, we will put the pants on after all painting has been finished. LOL

Here is the Hulk suit after todays work. Did shadowing on the torso and legs and finished the feet and hands (including attaching latex nails). Tomorrow I will be sealing all of the pieces. The feet and hands came out more yellow than they were supposed to so I am going to fix that tomorrow and then do some painting on the Hulk mask to get the color to match my hulk suit. Then all that is left is the pants so no more naked Hulk running around.
I will post the final test fit video tomorrow with the suit completed.
PS. Airbrushing is hard and airbrushing with the color black is a major pain in the butt!
