As a huge Berserk fan (only Manga I still follow) I have to take my hat off to you. This is awesome!

 

[BlackKaos]

That looks amazing! Very talented! Can't wait to see the finished version.

 

[EVO3]

Wow! that is really some impressive work!

You should do Grunbeld too, or you could do some latex casts of Zodd's human form barbarian wear, if you have a buddy sufficiently burly to pull off Zodd that is.

Thanks everybody! And BigWater, I'll need you to come over to help me flip the torso over after I mold the first side--this Beast is HEAVY.

Thanks EVO3--I love your threads with the detailed builds. You do some great work. In fact I used your Commander Cody thread as my primary reference when I did my own scratch build of him.

Re: Skull Knight full costume (pic heavy)

Quick update, molding the chestplate. I had to really support the head so when I go to lay it down it wouldn't move/or collapse on me. And getting closer to finishing the sword (almost).

"Amazing" is the word i think you all are looking for . Fantastic work JtotheP. Are you using brush on silicone for the molds? And what type are you using if you don't mind me asking???

 

[Fett80]

WOW!!!!! Just WOW!!!

"Amazing" is the word i think you all are looking for . Fantastic work JtotheP. Are you using brush on silicone for the molds? And what type are you using if you don't mind me asking???

I'm using Tempo 30 silicone, which is a "generic" or cheaper version of Mold Max 30. I got a 5 gal. kit (actually I'm on my second 5 gal batch) from Reynold Advanced Materials, whom primarily carries Smooth-On. In fact Tempo 30 only comes in 5 gal or 55 gallons.

The silicone can also be poored, I add a Thixotropic agent to thicken it up for brushing.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.

 

[BlackKaos]

Amazing work! Can't wait to see the finished suit.

 

[Boostedblue24]

Wow...just..wow. This is some dedication right here, and I can't wait to see this costume all ready to be worn!

 

[JtotheP]

New update--Chest plate cast and collar spikes attatched and the sword is ready for molding:

 

[TitaniumBat]
