Re: Dredd 2012 finished costume

Dude there are people about to spend over 3k on costumes from the propstore and I have to say in some of the shots when I looked.....frankly....yours in pretty damn close and Im not a big replica fan to be honest.

Id be proud to walk around a convention in that.

Great job.

FANTASTIC JOB!

Start working out your face muscles, tho -- your chin is gonna hurt from frowning so much at the first con you do.

I love the look on your dog's face, to boot.

Re: Dredd 2012 finished costume

Oh nicely done! This came out fantastic and I loved the look you achieved with the materials you used. Really good stuff.

I took these pics for the contest thing, but I'm posting them here to keep the thread complete. This time, I'm wearing my new shoulder pads, neck piece and leather pants:

And a quick background change I made:

Re: Dredd 2012 finished costume

Very good job sir! I can't help it, but every time I look at the '95 Dredd compared to the '12 I just have to laugh. They got the reality part down pat for the new Dredd. Seriously, how Stallone enforced the law in stretchy pants and a giant codpiece and not get laughed out of every slum in Mega City One is beyond me.

Re: Dredd 2012 finished costume

Thanks so much for sharing your techniques!

I'm working on a Dredd costume as well and had no idea how to make the armor plates. Your way is PERFECT for me.

Excellent work on your costume!

Re: Dredd 2012 finished costume

The only thing that bugs me are the white stripes... is that from the leathers you used?

Yes, they were. The leather pants were from a shop of my city, they cost 10€ and they have to had a disadvantage lol

Re: Dredd 2012 finished costume

Maybe you can apply some sort of black dye or paint to the white stripes? Black shoe polish maybe?

 

[JOATRASH FX]

Re: Dredd 2012 finished costume

You can buy the dye that they use on leather at the factory. It works GREAT. Don't buy the shoe paint you can get at the shoe store- get REAL leather dye from crafting places as it seeps into the material instead of just staying as a top-coat layer.

Here you have a quick video showing how I make the armor pieces with eva foam, for those of you who are interested in doing it too:
