Hi everyone, relatively new here and have been lurking through the threads gathering ideas for my own Rinzler costume I'm working on, keeping it short, I noticed a lot of people using various methods such as craft foam or rubber armor, or using motocross type gear.
I'm just wondering why no-one has thought of doing a plaster cast followed by modelling in clay and making a foam latex suit and stitching this to an undersuit like spandex (with hexagon pattern for total accuracy, not sure I'm going to do that though). This is the method I plan on using but since I've seen absolutely nothing mentioning this, I'm wondering whether people do know of it and have considered it too hard or expensive? In which case I may have to reconsider, however in the case of total accuracy and longevity of my suit I will be spending a bit of saved cash, also for the helmet but that's not for certain just yet.
Looking forward to everyones replies
