Leatherface Texas Chainsaw Massacre Remake Costume

[sirbrad]

WIP

OK I get a billion requests to make these and I have wanted to make one for a long time now, so now it is time...This prototype may be for sale once done or I may keep it for myself and do another one to sell not sure yet. Gonna be SICK!

Cutting the brown tarp which is the same material used in the movie Andrew Bryniarski himself told me. Judging by most of the shots in the movie it looks to be perfect! Adding the faux multi-layers at the bottom and top. Lots more to come!

 

[sirbrad]

Faux strap added to look like two longer ones tied together, or original one can be cut to raise the apron to adjust the height.

 

[sirbrad]

Bracers next.

 

[sirbrad]

Working on the bracers made out of foam and leather material to give them some thickness yet still be flexible.

 

[sirbrad]

Easy on elastic which will be hidden, and faux laces so you don't have to worry about tying them and they will look tied.

[SDUK]

[sirbrad]

Thanks! Yeah gonna be EPIC once done!

Just about done and ready for weathering and blood!

 

[sirbrad]

Apron sanded and frayed and adding thick grime and weathering now. As usual all details will be shown with outdoor pics and videos. Coming along great!

 

[sirbrad]

Kemper mask by A.M. Creations. Adding a PERFECT wavy wig I found and will be trimming it some.

 

[COSTUMEKING]

That's sick

 

[sirbrad]

Indeed it is! Can't wait to see this done myself!

Perfect shirt I found years ago green with stripes and textured. It is a 3XL so lots of room for the added bulk and santa belly! Not quite as dark as shown here, over-embellished due to low lighting. But only the top part, back, and sleeves will be seen mostly anyway.

 

[drakobus]

that is amazing bet it's been really fun to make

 

[sirbrad]

Yeah they are but also a pain to do and REALLY messy! But the end product will be WELL worth it!


Oh yes...there will be blood.

 

[sirbrad]

Better view of the neck. Will have outdoors pics of this as well later to show all the details

 

[sirbrad]

Tommy 2.0 will be repainting to match the lighter white/gray look in the movie. Might be some yellow undertones as well.

 

[sirbrad]

Haircut coming along nicely.

 

[sirbrad]

OK time to repaint the Tommy 2.0 to get that white/gray look in the movie with dark highlights. Started with a white basecoat with a hint of gray and dry brushed it mostly and already liking the look! Will also help it be seen at night more once done Addison's old paint up looked like leather and was brown so making it more like the new one. Might also add some yellow tones not sure yet as this may be good enough once done. I also do not have an airbrush yet but will be getting one soon. But I am used to using brushes a lot it is just harder to do especially once a mask is haired and stitched already which means I have to try and avoid every stitch or just go back and paint them black with a thin brush.

I don't want it too dark but will be making the crevices, lips, and eyes darker. I want it to be seen well at night. The one in the movie was not that dark in the behind scenes video and shows well in the dark lighting scenes. That is what I am going for. But first basecoat dry brush done!

 

[sirbrad]

Oh yeah starting to get pretty now! Added dark grey wash.

 

[sirbrad]

Added another wash of dark brown and blacks and in the crevices. Now adding all the darker highlights of the eyes, lips, edges and high points, and the mask is now darker and dirtier. Wow not bad for my first Leatherface paint up with regular brushes! Can't wait to do more!
