First of all, let me say a big HELLO EVERYONE from the Dominican Republic (caribbean)! :thumbsup
This is the third time I make a costume, however, this time it involved making my own mask(s), arm guards, knee guards, and every other detail you see in pictures, to make it look as close as possible to the character from the game.
I had to learn how to work with fiber glass, resin and with it the importance of using the right amount of hardener. The same goes for bondo (called Flex-Rex in our country), had to learn from ground up how to work with it, no help received other than watching a few youtube videos
opcorn I'm still practicing my sanding skills.
I used lots of Mortal Kombat 9 pictures as reference and I also "kind of" designed the pattern for sewing the vest, and as for sewing I received help from and old family friend.
I want to mention something regarding the result of the mask. It all started with pepakura; I had to print and paste (put together) the mask around 3 to 4 times because every time I tried it on to test, I had to change the scale (size) in the pepakura file then reprint and paste, so it look good on my face (and so my nose wouldnt hurt and fit :facepalm).
That being said, lets enjoy the photos of this fun work! Shall we?
