Nice pictures, thanks for sharing. Hey, how did the Cosplayweek contest go? Win, place or show?
Please keep us updated on any other work you do to the suit.
Yeah, see....this. 10/10
Its been slow for me, as I am in the process of closing on a new home and will be in the process of moving within the next few weeks... But in the meantime, here are a few pics that were taken at the local mall while at a trick or treat event, pics were taken and edited by a close family friend... I am hoping to get moved In and start molding and casting the back and flaps intime to have it all finished up prior to the Lexington Comic Con in March....
These are awesome pictures! I was wondering how you painted your suit? Sorry if you mentioned that already, I'm too lazy to go through the whole thread. Did you scuff the paint after or did you mask it somehow? Looks amazing! This is how I'd like my paint job if I manage to get a suit built. I think I want the Mark IV as well...
The way I do it... Is, I paint the entire piece silver, spray the translucent red over that... When that dries.. I simply dry brush the same silver it was originally painted with, over the edges that I think would wear in normal use.. then I clear coat it...
After the clear coat dries.. I use a spray can of flat black. And spray the low areas and areas that should collect soot and dirt. Don't worry Bout over spray or anything like that.. just spray over it real quick... Once the black dries, I take a paper towel and some lacquer thinner and just wipe it off like you would if you were simply washing the dirt off quickly, it then leaves streaks and "dirt" in the low areas.. and it ends up looking like it was simply worn...
I hope that makes sense to ya.
Voted! But you are going to need some backup. The Black Cat Crouching is going to give you a run for your money..:devil
Ok so now that I have voted twice I think that it would only be fair for you to travel up here to New England and help me build my suit. Heheh
Is it possible to cheat on theese votes ?
Cheat as in???? As far as I know you can only vote once...... It won't let me vote more than once anyway..
