First I want to apologize to Jedistine for not making the DC deadline. I had a serious mold release problem when I cast up the head and it bonded to the mold...it was not a pretty moment but thankfully I managed to save everything and finally get some progress to show. Jedistine has been nothing but patient and understanding so I want to publicly say thank you to him and to all of you for the very kind feedback here.
...and here are some updates...
It's all cast in silicone, head and torso...
It's got about 20 layers of color on the face and only a few for the neck and head but it's well on it's way now.
The face is missing some depth and some highlights here and there but over all I'm pleased with the outlook so far. Sorry for the blurry pics.
It's very hard to photograph because the face is a blend of 4 different metallic powder pigments that reflect light like a mirrror...it looks cool in person but I'll be dammed if I can take a decent pic of it...
I'll be posting the body later this evening.
Getting there........ :confused

It sure is my friend.
...here's some of the chest. There are all sorts of washes on it but I dont think it's even close to being done yet...still, makes for fun eye candy I think...
Here it's all on top of a very tiny mannequin so the shoulders sag a bit but it still looks cool I think...
Hands down the most complex and intracate costume I've ever had to do....sculpted and cast forms that is....

Wow. Well done. This is a great piece of work man. Been watching from the beginning and its turned out beautifully.
Can I ask what mould release you used? I had a similar problem demoulding some platinum silicon recently and was told that it may have been because of the epoxy spray that I was actually recommended to use??
