Progess with my costume is slow and I only found a few times I was able to build some of the "parts." Here are some of the images of my dreadlocks.

Dreadlocks:
First, I purchased some backer rods from a local hardware store and cut it in the desired length;

I started forming the end by tapering it using our stove;

Positioned the backer rods and I started spraying each with "plasti-dip" (canned) and let it dry;

Wrist Blade and Wrist Blade Gauntlet:
I purchased one of those plastic sheets thin enough to simulate a blade and I used my Dremel to cut it in shape;

I applied primer and prepared for the gauntlet using those large movie house pop cups.

That's all for now. More pics to come.

cheers

Modified Bio:

I modified the paint job on my biomask and created my own "clan" symbol;

Here's a pic with my daughter trying it on;

Looks awesome fella, I like the idea of using your own clan markings. Brilliant work
