Re: 2012 TMNT Replica Costume Sculpt ** SHELL COMPETE**
Oh hell yes, especially since Mikey is my favorite. Just got me real excited.
Mikey was the character that best fit my personality and nunchucks.... no brainer!
This is really coming along and I can't wait for the big reveal and to see all the hard work pay off that you both put in for molding and painting. Keep going dude!
ME TOO! I would guess that we may have a full suitup in the next 10 days...
killer pulls and killer paint job, this is now my fav thread in the rpf.com
Thanks! :$ The paint has really improved this build!
There are some amazing threads out there!
just a little photo of the head on a torso... again incomplete with paint and bandana, but still nice to see...
NEW FAVORITE PHOTO!!!

this is my first post on the RPF! i've been reading through this thread since i got off work tonight imagining that i'm watching it unfold in real time, i've been so riveted that i just realized its all most 5am! great work! really inspireing me to start some projects of my own, keep up the amazing work!
Thanks Mike! There's not many people that will read through a thread but I'm glad that you did. With the help of all the member's here at the RPF you get to watch how positive coloboration turned this project in the right direction. Also glad to hear that your inspired to start your own projects! Stumbling across this site is what got me so deep into these projects... ADDICTING!
Thank you so much for taking your time and sharing this with all of us. Its like watching
a childhood dream come true. Fantastic.
You are a truly skilled artist and have my full respect. I cannot wait to see this finished.
Thanks Trioxin! If I had not shared this project would still be where it started...WAYOFF! Member's here at the RPF do a fantastic job of giving positive critisism and helpful insight.
Your Shedder build is going fantastic! But if I ever see you I will hit you with my nunchucks! :lol
Looking forward to getting your help.....I am going for Raph....maybe after they are all built, me you and jacobz can go show up in them!
Always wanted to go to a comic con and the Texas Comic Con may have to be my first!
Derick, This is really looking great now bro. What a huge difference the eyes make to the costume!
Quick question though, What is going to be happening with the mouth? I remember seeing some animatronics tests a while back, is that still going to be happening? If so are you going to be adding teeth to the inside of the mouth?
I would imagine that you would also need some black fabric inside to hide your face when the mouth opens a little wide.
Keep it up dude, really awesome stuff!
Hey Nitrox!
Jacob has been the lead on most the accessories and has been usining some animatronics for the mouth. I'm lookiing into building up some teeth this weekend! Everything you mentioned has been noted! Thanks for the input.
I was thinking about the teeth too. You could use white craft foam painted to match teeth colors. It would not take a lot of space in the mouth and would fold inward when the mouth closed.
I figured you would not have the mouth opening and closing very far so that would get the job done. Not fancy , but cheap and effective.
Craft foam would be the fastest method! But I think I may sculpt up a set and cast them in plastic... not sure though.
I'll be sure to post any progress to get feedback and see if its headed in the right direction!
Update:
I have no update...
Hahaa
I got to meet up with Jacob last night and delivered the two shells! Got to see the head in its current state and photos do not do it any justice!
For the next several days, Jacob will be the updates! He now has two complete turtles and will be giving them paint and final touches.... The finishline is insight!!:love
