Zombie Hunter

[Kelz]

Well this his migrated over from there Zombie Pred Head in the Skulls, Heads and Skins section to a full on suit build, all be it a super tight budget build
A quick shot of the head

Where would we be without cardboard??
Got my ches armour and backpack whipped up over the last couple of days

It's not perfect but I am pretty pleased with it

Touched up and textured the edges of the bio

Foam armour

I have to gunge it up a bit and add some rust and dirt to give it that zombie I have been 6 feet under for the last 10 years look

Next on the this is PVC pipe dread rings and painting the chest armour

Well thats what I was thinking of doing green tones, it would make sense given that their blood is green. And then theres bruising would that be green or blue or what? I'll just have to see what looks best

Wow I got alot done today,
Dreads are installed and glued in place
Large and small dread rings cut (PVC pipe and one of those horrible plastic bird perches), painted and put on
Chest armour and backpack tidied up and painted
Shoulder bells and bicep armour attached to chest armour
And I made a start on my shoulder cannon but it's not worth showing yet and I think I need to make a few more dreads to fill in a couple of bald spots

Budget builds just get better and better, keep us posted with the updates.

Gauntlets done, just need a bit more paint

Cannon done, still working on the cannon arm

Made up a quick bone necklace

Did a bit more work on the face paint job, still need to blend the zombie veining more, still debating whether or not I am going to add some spots

I had the idea of using a brain shaped jelly mould I bought a few halloweens ago and casting some brain trophies in expanda foam, BUT I can't seem to find the nozzle for the can of foam I have so it might be a while before I get them done

 

[Kelz]

Did a quick test fit of my armour so far

Still need to do some re-sizing, fixing up and finishing off but it's getting there

Even though it's cheap and nasty its so cool having this standing, well hanging at the end of my bed =]

Great progress .

I like the guantlets a lot and the veins and darkening of the eye bring your theme out better.

I've been meaning to ask about your dreads. I don't remember seeing how you made them in either of your theads. Are they cloth?

Thanks
The dreads are made from an old black sheet stuffed with styrofoam beads from a bean bag with a plug of teddy bear stuffing in the end so they hang nicely from the mask, some are coated in latex I dyed black but it didn't really add anything so I didn't bother doing them all. They move nicely, are light and cheap

Some updates repainted an old plastic skull I had lying around for years

Finished up my hands

I have got my brain trophy carved out of foam and nearly got my shin armour ready for painting
