What are you talking about, thanks for sending me those pics of you in the outfit. But you could have wore the little leather shorts in all of them.
Oh and it looks very nice! (the screen used outfit) :confused
We have considered this and MIGHT go for it... The only concern I have is that it might in some way detract from the actual costume... I dunno... Plus we would have to find someone who can actually use an airbrush... It is sad that both Mirax and I own one but neither of us are very good with it...

Awewsome! I've seen all of the pieces over at the 300 board, but putting it all together really makes it. Impressive find!

I don't think it would detract, if done well, it would blend w/ the outfit. Right now, it sorta screams it's own direction.. :cool
Maybe if it wasn't soooo pale colored it wouldn't be so noticeable. For me at least bro, I "look around" it, at the outfit is so dramatic, then there's this pale skinned dude wearing it...
lolReally, really nice score bro. That must have been cool, looking through all the stuff to find the ones you got!

Well, if you're going to airbrush skin tones and muscles, then you're going to start having to worry about tonal variations, lest it look like a big ol' ken doll - which Mirax might not mind, but you might :lol.
Maybe paint it a satin or high gloss black. It'll be less distracting from the costume.

Fantastic job.
But I agree the flesh colored mannequin takes away a bit. Personally with full scale figures I like a stark white mannequin and face to show off the costume or helmet.
Actually, they had the suit on a stark white mannequin at Prop Store and the white was distracting. We initially thought white or black would be great for this but after seeing that we felt that the mannequin would stand out too much and distract from the suit so we went with the flesh color which we felt turned out terrific.
One nitpicky issue I had with the film (and don't get me wrong - I love it & own the DVD for the same reasons you all do!) was that they broke off the arrow shafts on the outside of the shields and not on the inside, where the arrow heads could still do serious damage... :rolleyes Sure, it's more dramatic, but it really served no offensive or defensive purpose. Call me nuts, but I'd hate to have my arm strapped on the inside with all that razor-sharp metal poking at me! :lol

I like the set-up the way it is.
It's not distracting and really shows off the armor perfectly.

Great costume! Looks fantastic. So are we talking the price of a pool table or the price of a new car?

Now, don't misunderstand me...:confused I think it looks TERRIFIC as it is, but just think it could look even beyond Terrific!!

More along the lines of probably a NICE used car.

Why don't you just slather up the mannequin with vegetable oil and call it good.
Not like that would be different from any other random night at the Braks/Mirax house. :love
Fantastic guys!
The sword is real and there were only 10 of these available.
