Love your build. will your face pieces and arms be able to be reused?

 

[mrbungle]

thanks guys.



the arms will be able to reuse, the jaw and nose will not.

all the molds are done i making a new core for the arms...i am trying to make a collapsible core for the arms.

hope to run all the foam next weds....

Wowzers!

I myself have always wanted to do a Popeye costume but never really knew how to handle that chin. Thanks for the inspiration, now to get my buddy to work on his Wimpy...

...now to get my buddy to work on his Wimpy...

Is that what the kids are callin' it these days?

 

[Contec]

Any progress on this one?

 

[mrbungle]

yep,............slowly but surely hoping to run foam next week...i bought some popeye stuff from premiere prop auction ,still waiting on it......mainly for the olive oil dress...

arm molds for popeye...playing with collapsible core molds......my first one...makes life easier when trying to get the casting of the core.

What a smart key way with the hand pieces! This is a super fun project, your sculpt is awesome, I can't wait to see it done!

And dear lord, those sailor pants in that concept art are severely badass. I hope your costuming reflects it, that's some sweet fashion.

 

[mrbungle]

thanks, man. my clothes are going to be closer to the cartoon version, i bought some navy bell bottoms for the pants.

^ That's almost as scary as Rick Baker's rendering of what Popeye might look like in real life:

This is so cool, I love when this thread gets updated.

 

[Zombie_61]

[IronMoose]

Horrifying and amazing. I love this idea.

 

[Feraud]

Another longtime Popeye fan here. I am in awe of this build and cannot wait to see it complete. :thumbsup

BTW mrbungle, I have to say how much I like the way you've not only rendered Lee Romao's artwork into 3D, but stayed so faithful to it while making it work with your facial structure. That's not always an easy thing to do. thumbsup
