Hello all,
I am currently working on a Red Robin, movie-grade interpretation of the the RR suit.
I have the cowl done and the sculpt to the tunic is almost complete as well
I just have a few questions before I continue
1) The Red Robin suit is split up so that the upper part is red and the bottom part is black. Should I sculpt and cast these two separately or should I make it into one sculpt and (paint?) it or cast them into two separate colors. (I was thinking of using psycho paint, but I'm not sure)
2) What is the best way to cast this thing? I was thinking about just pouring the silicone between the mold and the lifecast. Maybe use a thinner on the silicone to make sure it pours through properly. I don't really have enough money for an injector, but if I did, would that be a more feasible method?
3) What is the best way to go about making the cape? I was thinking about making a mold for it, but I am honestly lost on this one.
4) What is the best way to attach the rubber armor parts to the spandex undersuit? I was thinking about using a silicone glue Sil-Poxy RTV Silicone Adhesive Product Information | Smooth-On But I don't know how feasible that is
5)And lastly, there are gold parts to this design, and I'm wondering, what is the best paint to use on silicone to get that golden/bronze look? I know that casting powder is mainly for urethane products, but I was wondering if it would have any sort of effect of silicone, either being mixed in or brushed on.
Thank you in advance for any help! Here are some progress pics so far
