Wow. Just... holy crap.

Quick question, on the sword/shield it looked like you put tinfoil down before you bondo'd it. Does that just provide a better surface for it to attach to?

The tinfoil was put on to protect the foam from the fiberglass resin, which would have melted the foam without.

Thanks everyone

I second that! :cool The proportions look great and helmet ... well I think I like it even more now :love. Everything really looks amazing together and the helmet isn't bobble headed /oversized we sometimes see in costumes.

I can't wait to see this all put together and get the full effect of this character.

Great Job!:thumbsup

New update: shoulder pads tacked in place and bottom spikes, before leg armour. These are just held in place to get a feel for the whole costume. They might be a tad uneven right now, till I fully mount them.

That is just crazy cool!
I love to watch the way folks go about a project.
I get so many new ideas and techniques from this place!

Even though the cape is going to cover most of the back, I still had to bring myself to making it all.

Outstanding work

WOW!!! How are you going to attach the shoulders? I might need your advice on a build soon.

 

[JackAce]

i think the extra detail work on the back is well worth the effort, even if a cape may go over it. just make sure to stand in front of a wind machine or something every once in a while to get the cape flapping to show that stuff off lol

This is simply INSANE. I love it. If you ever do a run on those skulls, I might want one!

 

[Zaxmon]

Looking forward to more.

NOt sure how I missed this thread, but what an awesome build. Looking forward to seeing more pics

I used a hinge flipped around so it stops at a right angle where the shoulders will pivet up and not down. The shoulders are resting in the stopped position.

Great idea.

Thanks Jorge! You're welcome to come over and check it out even just to see how I molded the sword so you get an idea for your He-Man sword.

Sword and shield are done. Painted all the parts as well except the finger armour which I had to farm out to be done (no time before Dragon*Con). Thanks Big_Water99 the fingers look great!
