Mortal Kombat Costume question

I was also wondering if possible anyone might know the make of the elbow armor? It is probably MX armor as well as the chest plate but any ideas of what was used? Since we have people who know there stuff I figured worth a shot!
Thanks and greatly appreciated!
Cheers
 
Dammit, got sniped on the ebay auction.

Whoever got it (chances are you are reading this thread), I expect pictures of that costume when you get it made!!!!

All right i have one favor to ask. Is spirit of keeping this as close to game used a spossible, does anyone have any idea of what the elbow armor is? It is looking pretty soft with the red as the actual armor part. Any ideas would greatly help! Thanks for all the help and look forward to getting this suit nailed!

I had started work on the Smoke video game version. Found a real close match for the chest armor...

lol thats what makes the helmet look better. We've decided to go ahead and use black extension cord cable you can get at walmart. The endcaps, however, are still difficult to find a match, but still looking.
 
Well, upon arriving home, I recieved a very much anticipated package sitting at my door! None other then the MX armor!

Definatly has some wear on it, a few scratched, and one very small, but fixable crack. As for how it fits me, it could be ALOT worse, but I'm not really planning on wearing this costume until I thin out a bit, which will really help out the overall look. I feel the height between the bottom of the breast plate and my waist is about right as well, based off of references of course. The only thing I'm a little peeved about, is that I recieved 3 bicep pieces, however, all 3 of them are all for one side..There might be hope though, because one of them ( the red one) has a sticker that says "sinisalo copyright 2001" which suggest that they've kept the same design up to then, and I may possibly be able to find one for my left side.

On my chest armor, I never really took a look at the actual costume to see what it looked like...you are sitting on what appears to be the exact one. Making mine look..horribly inaccurate!

Well, the one I do have (which I am wearing as I type) is the exact make
 
In all honesty, we were going to just get the next closest matching armor. I found this, which appears to be a much more modern version of the flex guard

Alright, well we've got alot done today. We are sort of taking a short break on the helmet to focus on the other aspects of the suit. Today, we focused on the belt boxes. I don't have pics personally at the moment, but I sculpted the belt box and we just made a silicone mold, which we will be able to make some fiberglass pulls, hopefully tomorrow.

We've also been thinking about the boots and shin armor. We believe that they used some vintage MX boots, and we are currently searching for the best matching. Most of the vintage style boots have shin guards built into them, and we've actually seen a few with the correct shaped shins on them, so it's only a matter of time until we find a good match.

I personally just started my chest armor. I've just put the first layer of yellow down, and will hopefully have the breast plate done soon. As an FYI to anyone ever considering doing Cyrax, we've found the best matching paint to be Krylon "Sun yellow"

So that's all that we've done today. I feel this is going pretty good at the moment, and we will get pics posted as soon as we can.

So, I'm actually surprised that the silicone mold cured as fast as it did, I was just able to demold it a few minutes ago. As you can see, the mold and then the clay master. We got the measurements comparing the width and height against the MX armor piece, and came out with this. We are going to be doing the same process with the belt buckle/box and the silver strips between the boxes.

Here, you can see my armor prepped with primer. I was not able to dissassemble the pieces, the only way that can be achieved is by ruining the attachment methods, and I did not want to ruin it. This is it in primer (wet at the time). I've just put down my last layer of yellow. Just need to wait for it to dry, mask off most of it, and spray the silver on the side notches.

Well, we are waiting for the first fiberglass casting of the belt box to cure at the moment, but should be ready for de-molding in a bit. I've started sculpting the front "buckle" box tonight, but it's still got a bit to go.

Unfortunatly, these next two weeks are going to be really hectic. I have just over 2 weeks to pack all my stuff, fix up this house for a bit and move out of it, on top of my 6 summer classes....

Since me and Irishfett are working on this together, I will be staying up here a little after Im done with classes for the sole purpous of finishing off the helmet(s)
