what would the full suit cost? the work so far is absolutely great!
I know nothing about casting and was wondering why do you pait it before casting?Not entirely sure. It would be reasonable. Probably be awhile before I get that far I tend to take my time as I do this more for the art, I'm not known for spitting things out.
The cowl for example is being molded tomorrow. Here are some pics of it.

Looks beautiful

Not to speak for him but the silcone mold will pick up all those subtle changes in sheen and texture. And it will also show in the castings. I actually just popped in to remark about how beautiful this is looking and you are clearly going the extra mile here. So few seem to be wiling to do so nowadays and it hasn't gone unnoticed with me.
That's incredible I had no idea you can do that with casting.That's correct. The cowl will be urethane rubber and this will show up in each casting. Even when I experiment with trying to make it into a helmet the sheen should show up.
Thanks for compliment, I try to make things that reflect what was originally seen as close as possible. Takes a little longer, but to me it's worth it.

If it's not to much to ask huddson would you be willing to tell me what brand of paint you use to get such beautiful results (understand if it's a secret) my cowl is all plastic helmet style a d would love to get the paint even half as good as yours
Thankyou for the feedback I'll definitely be using that combination on my cowl and shins. Really looking forward to seeing your cowl when it's all cast and readyLol, No secret. Being an art teacher and a believer in the RPF community it would be hypocritical for me to. The one you see in the pictures was a print from Shapeways that had a bad off set so after cleaning it up with sandable primer I painted it up using Krylon SUPERMAXX flat black and Rustoleum gloss black, I would have gotten Krylon for the gloss if they had it in stock.
