Hey folks. I thought I'd post some pics of my recently completed Infinity War Thanos halloween costume. This was almost entirely done freehand because I couldn't find a pep model to use. So it's really more of my interpretation of the Thanos armor based on the visual references that I had available (which were unfortunately very few) and a bit of modding of pieces from other armor projects that I've done. I also did have a 3D model from Fortnite that I considered attempting to convert to pepakura, but given time constraints and lack of experience with such work, I opted to just use it as a visual reference to help fill gaps left by a lack of a more film accurate references. So the final product is really more of a mish-mash of different sources that hopefully combine as a convincing, fully-armoured Thanos.
I bought the Marvel Legends version of the Infinity Gauntlet with the intent to use it as a model for making my own, but again time got the best of me and I ended up just using that as part of the costume. It does lend a nice effect. I intend to give it a rub-n-buff finish before Halloween to make it more metallic and reduce the plastic appearance. Then sometime after Halloween, I'll return to make my own replica when I have time to do so properly. I also bought the mask because I didn't want to attempt making my own for fear that my shoddy job would cheapen the whole thing
I filled it with spray foam and affixed some straps to it so that I can wear it on top of my head.
Some pics are included. The paint job isn't 100% to what I wanted it to be, in terms of detail, but I may still have time to finish that before Halloween. Otherwise, I'm quite happy with it and by the reactions I've gotten so far, other seem to appreciate it as well, which is satisfying. I'm sorry I haven't posted anything as a WIP to see my process. I do have some of it documented which I will try to come back and add later. Let me know what you think!
