Kenner Squid Head Costume Build

Really REALLY awesome.

After looking at the comparison pics, I decided the belt needed to be much more silvery. I like it much better now!

The prints are coming along. This thing is huge! Hopefully the scale is right. I'll have to do a lot of detailing to it since blowing up that small design and reducing the matrix obliterated some fine detail.

This is gonna be wonderful!

Yes, can't wait to see the helmet come together!

any updates on this amazing project ?

I actually just got the first prints back yesterday. They are workable, but I just feel that I made it about 10% too big for the right proportions so we're printing again. Thankfully the gun though is about perfect so I can work on that component.

One thing that is super clear though is that I have a lot of finishing work. Blowing up the scans from 3 3/4" to 6 feet has softened a lot of details. I'll need to do a lot of dremel and bondo work to get some of those details back. It's really nice having a good solid shell to build off of though because sculpting, molding and casting this thing would have cost a few hundred dollars in materials and it might have taken a few tries. It's also way to big to just be latex and I don't see myself getting an oven and getting into foam latex stuff.
