Test fit. Need to trim off some length on the arms and legs. I really need a zipper in the back, as the suit wont stay closed with the existing weak velcro.
Robert sent me this just a moment ago. One step closer. Its close to crunch time now! I'm so stoked to get the suit together. Test fitting and first outing is friday. I took the whole week off to prepare.
LMK whhat you think (its by no means finished though)
I like how the fondant mold really gave it some scaley texture. Rob is such a great painter, I can't wait to see what comes next.
Thanks doode. The armour is almost finished. Its Dakath Xenomorph Armour, and I figure I'm the only one on the lair sporting it. Will keep you guys posted. Tomorrow is the first outing of 3 this weekend.
Here's a side by side to get perspective on what a change it really is.
I couldn't have done it without the help of my good friend Robert Fordham (Brokentusk23)
What a great first suit. I'm just starting my first Mr. I suit and will be following you lead. Great work. I hope mine turns out that well. Nice work, wear it with pride and represent the Lair well.
Great work so far! The skin came out very well. What process did you go through to get the paint to stick to the latex skin? Also where did you pick up those skulls? Definitely looking forward to seeing the finished product.
it is finished for now. the skulls came from the dollar store, and the paint peeled/rubbed off throughout the night. we will try with prosaide for the next outing.
That is one Bad a$$ suit! Great job converting it. The more I see these Mr. I suits the more I want to try it. though I already have a suit. my sons want one now too, so I think Im a try my luck and start now for next yrs. Halloween and conventions!
