My attempt to make armor out of silicone!

Good idea with the silicone. Easily forms and hardens to your shape. I tried using silicone to make molds, but I was too impatient. Kudos to you Zelda.
 
okay, uhm...dunno how to start. first of all: WOW. you're looking good, the armor looks fantastic...or was it the other way around? :lol

no no but seriously, I've got two questions:

1. how do you get the silicone holding on your skin? stickiness of the silicone, double-sided tape, or something else?

2. perhaps I know the "wrong" women (i.e. women who wouldn't wear something like this in public :lol), but do you really have the balls to wear this at DragonCon, or will you have something like a cloak on top of that?

Something tells me that if she has the "balls" to post up a photo like that on here,
she probably has no problems showing off that body at DragonCon.


:cool

It's a shame the RPF doesn't have a stats page that shows how many times "right click > Save as..." has been used on the pics in this thread. :D

I must confess I'm stunned at how quickly this has come together, and how strong the results are. I've seen many a "crunch time" thread that ends quickly and without the desired results, so it's really nice to see this one plowing ahead so well! Keep up the great work, PZelda!
 
Thanks sweety!

Got some progress on the Witchblade! I just realized I'm going to need footwear, so I think I'll hold off from painting it and work on some shoes until I can make the proper boots :)

Zelda, this build is fantastic!! Witchblade is my absolute favorite heroine in comics, not only because she's sexy but moreso because she is a very powerful woman.
I can't wait to see the witchblade itself and also the facial parts.
I am also wondering, are you using adhesive, tape or other?
Keep up the great work..
I could be wrong but after seeing the pics again I believe the blue material is being worn as well, just painted flesh tones.
My wife was also looking at the pics and wished she could wear something like that.

Those would have to be the cleanest seams in the world.

To my trained eye :lol everything definitely looks like real flesh.

Looks amazing!

It really reminds me of the Mystique bodywork on the xmen movies. There's more to the costume than you think at first glance :lol

Can't wait to see the rest of it!

Nick,
Please refrain from continued use of the phrase "fiddly bits."

Thank you.

Great start! This is one of those costumes that it would be very easy to be scared off from, because it has a lot of what I call "Fiddly Bits." (Tiny sections that could easily get messed up or go horribly wrong once you try to wear it)

But it looks like you're pulling it off amazingly. Raciness of the costume aside, the work you've done on this is wonderful, considering the precision required for certain aspects and all the fiddly bits involved.

Can I ask what type of silicone you're using? Is it a Smooth-On product, Sugru, Caulk, other? I'm just curious because it definitely has a "hand formed" look to it.

Great job so far. Can't wait to see this thing all finished.

GAH! Couldn't get the Witchblade done. I tried going back and forth between the Witchblade and the heels :( I'm suppose to fly out Tuesday morning 6AM, but I think I'll have to finish the rest of it as well as the shoes once I'm in the hotel :p

Plus I'll have Matt help me put the pieces on me ^_^ YAY!
