Silver surfer costume test *PICS*

[WarpedScale]

thanks again guys! I'll see if i can work out the kinks on the kid size version

I just checked the stretch house site , they call it foil dot, has to be the same stuff. And cheaper than what I paid for it (except I didn't need to pay shipping, but our lovely 13% tax here doesn't help either)

lots of possibilities with this.

Foil dot is literally what it means. Lots of little circles/dots of foil on black 4-way stretch spandex. If you go one more category down, you'll see "All over foil". The pic doesn't do it justice. Try getting a sample and you'll see what I mean. It's basically a sheet of foil on a sheet of spandex.

Looks awesome so far, sir.

Looks pretty cool. The mask or face would be an interesting dilemma to overcome. How to make it match the suit...

 

[darthchiro]

It would be the same deal, covered in the material.

I'm assuming he'll do a mask covered with the material (ala' movie Spiderman) seams around the eyes and have stainless steel mesh or chromed lens in it...

 

[fotofixer72]

That looks great!

 

[darthgordon]

Yes, but how would you get all the detail in the face? Are you sculpting a mask and then stretching the material over it?

yea I was talking about a mask with the face' details. Just like in the Spiderman movie, they have a mask under the cowl with that distinct comic book face shape.

Ya, a sculpted mask covered in the same material is what I had in mind.

U should look for the suit they made for the non effect shots from the 2nd movie FF. they did a full suit for the actor that looked good.

 

[darthchiro]

I have several screen caps of that suit, it looked great and they had a chrome version as well as the dull one, when he lost his powers but I am not going to sculpt and entire new suit for this anyway. I also don't know any 6-3" 150lb guys to wear it lol.

Just kidding :lol

I will have more to show of the torso tomorrow, it looks incredible. I have a new leg sculpt I would like to use for this if I finish this suit, if anyone wants this suit let me know so I can get more of the fabric then I can complete it properly.

Or you can do this too like my friend did.. last Halloween. LOL

 

[HeroWorship]

That looks great considering it's fabric. That material and your muscle suit is match made in heaven. I can't wait to the completed costume.

 

[freakyspider]

That suit looks killer! It really looks like a liquid alloy! Great work!

 

[Funky]

I'm sure you've already considered this, but have you tried the liquid spray adhesive by 3m? I would just think the glueing process would go faster and you may not have to try so hard to get it even and wrinkle free.
Justa thought.

I also don't know any 6-3" 150lb guys to wear it lol.

My goal is to someday gain enough weight to reach 150 lbs for the first time in my life.
