The $350 Yeti.

Great looking head sculpt!

For some reason, that shot of you in the suit reminds of Dan O'Bannon in Dark Star.
"I do not like the men on this spaceship."

My pal that's pouring the silicone de-molded him last night and woke up to cracking WED! You lived a fine life my friend. Into the garden you go.

RIP

Btw, I'm really excited to see this costume completed. Amazing work so far!

Your threads are always, a must see and read Laffo.

I love this thread, the picture of you in the suit is classic. I made an Everglades bigfoot/skunkape, here's a pic...

Awesome, it's been far too long since I've seen a build thread from ya! I've missed them. Progress is looking freakin' great.

Hell, I'd find out when the next BFRO outing/campout is gonna be and **** with them hard if I had a bigfoot costume. :lol

Thanks Man.

Awesome, it's been far too long since I've seen a build thread from ya! I've missed them. Progress is looking freakin' great.

I've been building stuff - just nothing the grumps around here would care about. Finished an Italian Clown for a show, an all black and white Hobo Clown for an act all in black and white - suit, props, makeup, cartoon backdrop all in black and white. I'll post that build if you want.

Looks great can't wait to see more

Dudde you so should rock that costume without the mask. Cheers to being part of the beard crew lol

 

[Jessica]

Yay! Another Laffo build. You are awesome.

I do...

Laffo.

 

[Laffo]

Aw yeah...

The mask is out of the mold and it's a perfect pull! We did a thick detail coat and then packed his crown and waddle with fiberfill, slipped a lycra hood over the lifecast to line the mask and pumped the rest of the silicone in.

Slicker than snot on a doorknob.

Pretty happy...

Here's what he'll look like:

Okay the Yeti is done.
Well, 85% done. There's more weave to plug in the suit and more hair punching on the face, but he already has a paying gig in December. I'm also adding about 8 inches in the legs from the second suit so the boots get covered.

Here we are painted and drying:

Getting the first course of hair:

and

Here's the reworked Bigfoot feet:

They were too backslung and hard to walk in so i cobbled some heels for the things:

Here they are finished:

Here's the body suit about 1/3 of the way done:

Her's the facial hair that's punched from the back:

And the hand punched hairline and eyebrows. There's about 4 more hours of this to go.

I'll post some of his first appearance / performance in a minute.

Here's some pics from the show. There are better shots coming, where the stage lights don't hollow the eyes out so badly. I'll have a lighter hand on the next sculpt as well.

The eyes look better in this pic...

I like this pic. the suit looks great, i would have gone with a full long hair suit tho, but I lack the necessary skill.

I've already made TWO long hair suits. Krampus and a Bigfoot. This was exactly what I wanted.
