I decided ( foolishly as always ) to be different and go big with my next costume. This build is for FanExpo17 in Dallas. I started a little late and it will probably come down to the wire but I am making some progress and decided I should share. I'm still the worst at documenting my work but hope you enjoy.
If you are not aware, Poacher is a character from the Chaos line of McFarlane toys. There are two versions, I believe this the second. I initially envisioned this guy massive but because of time and design compromises, I had to scale him down. He will be made primarily of 1 inch foam and L200 My deadline is march 31st. The head and hands will be sculpted separately. I might cast the tusks in a light resin if I have time, if not, I will carve them from XPS. Some of the accessories will be 3d printed as well.
Progress thus far. Please excuse my trash seams. I actually had templates that I made from a maquette but the translation to real life did not work so well so I ended up making templates by scratch. Ignore the predator mask. Using it for sizing.
I should have the arms done tonight and will start working on the legs.
