Illustyrannosaurus-Rex: Wrex
my blog for my wrex build. i may just start posting here.
the clay original. long way to go but i'm getting there. because i did something dumb with the mold the clay original is gone. live and learn. the body is mostly done, armor wise other than surfacing, clean up details etc. we hope to have our builds done by dragoncon 2014
his head is huge.it's maybe too big...yikes. when my friends saw it (who are going with me as tali and shepard) they were like gyahhh.
with all the parts on the proportions make sense. he's a lil' oversized but i think it will work. i'm 6 ft tall and with head, hump, and feet i'm 7 ft.

i know it's kinda dumb to post to my blog then just have the link here. i'll try to do both later. i've been go go go on this one to meet our dragoncon deadline
parts test and fitting. sorry for the poor quality image
ALSO if you've never heard of bounce rubberizer by hotwirefoam factory go buy some on amazon. mix that with cornstarch until you get a thick paste and trowel that onto your eva. smooth with water and brush or sponge. you get a hard flexible coating that is sandable. mix well spread evenly. it does shrink but doesn't crack. what looks like an 1/8th thick layer will shrink down to like a 1/16". for more rubbery effects spray or brush on straight. dilute as little with water as possible
my raider shotgun in progress. it's made of foam mostly. not the sturdiest thing but i just need it to survive dragoncon
sorry my ipad takes such "meh" pics. the paint job is more varied and less flat in person. the accordian "space" knee is missing here but you get the idea
the stance seems too wide because the wrex legs don't really easily go on the mannequin .
they see me krogaaan, they haaatin'( sorry). no arms on- they exist just not wearing them
FINISHED! WREX AT DRAGONCON 2014. TONS OF LITTLE ISSUES. i had a great pit crew who could tear me down and reassemble with pretty awesome efficiency. needs lots of fixes though. word to the wise: deal with heat issues asap in your build.
also if Mark Meer is shouting at you trying to push through a crowd to get to you for a picture,please: make sure you A- wear glasses to identify actor and B- don't tell said actor " my suit broke i'll be back"
i'm a moron..
i tried to edit out faces of friends in the other pics to be just wrex but this is my favorite shot of us. we make a pretty awesome away party if i say so myself
my 2014 costume contest proof photo. putting wrex on requires a few folks but here is me with head.
here is me also with in progress sculpt taken in february( on my birthday)
oh and this one ha. beardless tired me at dragon con
