With the level of skill you have painted the skin; I can't wait to see how the armor turns out.

Progress pic of my Warcraft Orc costume showing some of the various stages to its current point ( at least in the build thread ). Next week I will be detailing the construction of his axe / shield, then it's on to armor painting!

What you've done in 5 months is absolutely astonishing, we've seen some build here half as detailed take 3 times as long to complete. I can't wait to see this build finished and painted and slaughtering Alliance scum!

Everything looks so badass! I really like the red of the tabard. Gives some great contrast with the green and black.
Keep up the sick work!!

I'm not even a fan of Warcraft and this is the single greatest Orc I've ever seen, can't wait to see it painted.

Warcraft Orc Leather - Here is a WIP of me painting foam to mimic leather. I will be detailing a bunch of the painting steps once I return from C2E2. So until then just enjoy this before and after

This is awesome, and you said the "Leather is actually the skin from EVA foam? I'm wondering if the couple foam shops near me save it, I have a couple applications I could use it for.

Warcraft Orc Shield - My warrior grunt Orc is going to have an axe and shield ready to deal damage. The shield is carved from a single block of 3" thick foam and is approx 22x28". The final product was to make it look like 3 stacks of metal were bolted together with a wood insert. All of the carving was done with a Dremel and a sanding drum. Additional 3mm and 5mm craft foam and resin cast rivets were added for details. I teased some info about my Orc's clan with a pic of his axe on my Facebook page. But here I am definitely showing he is a member of the ruthless and bloodthirsty Warsong clan. They are recognized on the battle field with their grinning skull emblems. The skull face was cut out of 5mm craft foam and fake rivets were placed on the individual pieces. Again everything was battle damaged using the same Dremel.

That wood texture is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

I love following your WIPs; thanks so much for sharing your process.

I'll be at C2E2. I'll keep my eyes peeled for an imposing Warsong Orc. Seeing this creation in person would be awesome.

You're going to be an Orc Warrior but the work you're doing on this build makes you look like a mage bro!

Warcraft Orc Axe - The blade and body of the axe are both cut out of the 3" block foam. The blade was cut on the band saw and contoured on the belt sander. To keep the weight down I used a cardboard fabric tube from Joann's and wrapped that with 5mm craft foam to bulk it up. The spike on the back of the axe where my wife is holding it was just tacked on for scale it was later replaced by a piece that suited the look better. I built a small box out of craft foam and lined the back of it with white card stock. This box will house 6 red leds per side. The grinning skull was freehand cut from the same craft foam and it will be backed with a sheet of plexi glass. The plexi glass was sanded on the back to diffuse the glow of he leds. Additional craft foam, resin cast rivets, and chains were added to the handle for more detail.

Great Cosplay!! if you paint the latex skin with liquatex matt varnish it will dull it down and seal against the tacky latex...it is flexible and will protect any paintwork

The axe and shield are looking great. Your scale is good so that they won't hide all of the other great work.
