oh i like where this is going...

 

[highlanderpdx]

Wow, that looks like a whole lot of fun, more pics when available please.

 

[jonny88]

well here is what l have planned for mine.

recasting the helmet and adding LED
recasting all the soft armour
recasting the skulls.

l might take the whole body apart and repaint and add real netting. this right now is a maybe.

l have never recasted things before so any members who do no how some advise would be appreciated.

l am going to buy Smooth On Rebound 25 brush on silicone to make the rubber mold for the helmet and armour. then add Smooth On 300 resin. this should work well and looks easy enough.

I found this thin metal strips at my old work, I thought that maybe it would come in handy later down the road. This might be a good start to get the visor looking good, what do you guys think? It might be a bit big, but I have never seen anything closer than this.

Faucet screens, maybe? I'm still waiting for my 3 to arrive so I'm not sure ....and the wait is becoming unbearable!

God I can't wait to do the this! Suggestion, a couple opaque coats of black paint either on the inside of the mask and/or outside to remove any translucency of the LED before using metal tones? Otherwise fantastic!

Dear r5150s,

How did you make those good looking hair tips?

 

[Kaijuboy]

Got my figure a couple of days ago (finally!) and put lenses in (as well as narrowed gap & removed seam).

(Pardon the scuffs on the helm in the first 2 pics, the paint wasnt touched up in those pics yet!)

what did you use for the lenses.

 

[azurepred]

I'm suprised you guys that put in real lenses don't go with chrome instead of black. I would just use some cheap chrome sunglass lenses.

Looks great! How did you undo the twitch?

 

[Greenblood72]

Double post, sorry.

 

[Greenblood72]

Looks good but I have to ask why you undid the twitch?

That's what gave that version it's character.

Anyway it's probably just a matter of heating up the face, moving the fang into place and freeze-shocking it into final position.

what did you use for the lenses.

Super thin clear sheet styrene, cut to fit in eye sockets. Also called The ol' Sideshow AVP bio fix.

I never "replaced" my lenses, just "glassed" them over so-to-speak, but thats not a bad idea...

Im currently bogged down in 4 major projects right now, so any future tinkering will have to wait, but I do have a special arrangement I have in mind with him...

 

[r5150s]

getting there..few more tweaks..
open face repaint
body will follow..still looking for the right netting and working on the Bio..
