My HellBoy Costume

[HellBoy]

Hi all,

Here are pics of my HellBoy costume along with a description of the individual pieces.

My HellBoy Gear:
Mask: Full latex mask made by Kropserkel. It came unfinished. I painted it, then applied hair and sideburns. I also hand punched horse hair for the goatee.
Trenchcoat: Off the rack from Sydney Oilskin Clothing Co. I hand-tooled the leather emblems and hand-stitched them on.
Tee shirt: Mervyns
Pants: Wilsons leather
Boots: Good ol' Doc Martins
Belt: Hand made by me, including leather ammo pouches and buckle (Buckle made with Sculpey over plain metal buckle)
Holster: Kropserkel
The Samaritan Revolver: SideShow Collectibles
Right Hand of Doom: SideShow Colectibles
Rosary: Handmade; the Cross was from Michael's.
Tail: Handmade by me and my mom.

Thanks for looking!

Michael

I really like this one...captured the look very well.
Have any close-ups of the mask; I'd like to see more
Did you build up the chest and shoulder, or is all that really you?

Darthmellow, Moocricket, Raffles, punhulk , decaturvader, hollywoodhardware, Russelsculpts, Jodo and Sarah: Thank you all for your kind words and compliments!!! I attached a link to the Kropserkel HellBoy page for those of you who are interested in more details about the mask and it's creator. If you looks at the sculpt photos, that is what the mask looked like when I got it; sort of a pink latex. The model at that site, (Nelson) did a great photo shoot for their pics. Also, if you haven't visited the Kropserkel site before, take a look around! Scott and his company do awesome work! I was a bit intimadated at the work required to paint the mask, then buy and attach hair, but I called Scott at Kropserkel and he gave me a 45 minute tutorial over the phone! Really nice guy.

I'll get some mask close-ups and post them soon.

As for the chest and shoulders, I am about 6'4" and 206 lbs. I am in pretty good shape, but can still use a little help! I wear a padded chest piece I made for my Batman costume. I would LOVE to have a latex chest/ shoulder piece like Ron Perlman wears!

Thanks again!

Your height helps sell it, although I have no idea how tall he's supposed to be in the movies.

Very nice costume and presentation. :thumbsup
