For the most part and to be on the safe side yes, a petroleum based release is what you should use. This can be just petroleum jelly (aka vaselene) or anything similar.

You're very welcome. :)

Goodluck with the project, I'm sure you'll have a great suit!

You typed correctly without translator. Sometimes the translator is the weak point in a conversation online but seems that you almost don't need it anyways :D

I've made 2 videos ulfolding and arranging the pieces of the suit's arm:

[Papercraft cosplay] Crysis 2/3 part 1 - unfold - YouTube

[Papercraft cosplay] Crysis 2/3 parte 2 - Arrumando - YouTube

I don's speak nothing but it can help someone.

another update: I'm actually gluing the last part of the suit(the left arm), probably, tonight or tomorrow, i will take a pic of the entire suit in papercraft and post here :thumbsup

question: the forum has some tag to show a youtube video?

(again without a translator... correct me if you want, plz :))

i have one question tho: how are you gonna get the helmet out of the mold without breaking the mold
 
Re: [WIP]Crysis 2/3 Nanosuit: Papercraft+sculpt+latex.. Pics inside

how are you gonna attach a visor to a latex mask? ;)

just some additional info:

latex will shrink during the curing process. also, imo 5 layers are not enough, you can see how flimsy the mask is in the video example.

generally, its done the other way around: make a latex(or silicone) mold, a hard cover for the mold, and then cast the helmet in resin.

i would allways, ALLWAYS cast helmets with visors in resin, as it will be close to impossible to get a visor in a latex mask to stay in the correct position, as its not easy to glue something to latex.

its your choice if you want to make the helmet in latex, im just pointing out stuff you have to look out for. ;)

generally, my rule of thumb, if its a hard looking helmet, that doesnt have to be skin tight, resin is easier to do than latex, also more durable

i'm thinking on this during a long time... probably i will make the silver part of the visor in fiber glass or PU resin and glue it under the same part of the latex mask, making something like a skeleton and skin. and on this skeleton i will attach the visor and leds.

that was a big period, probably with a lot of grammar errors XD

Hi,

Hey so what exactly do you plan on doing with molding the helmet?

Also, what do you plan on doing to mold the rest of the suit? I would strongly suggest NOT making a mold out of fiber glass but to use the fiber glass as a mother mold.

Smooth On has some really good products for what you want to do.

What is the next step for you?

I live on brazil, it's hard to buy smooth-on products:)cry), i'm making de mold out of fiberglass because I live in a apartment and don't have space for a plaster mold and silicon it's very expensive here. my last option was fiberglass x.x

sry my english, i'm trying to get better
 
Re: [WIP]Crysis 2/3 Nanosuit: Papercraft+sculpt+latex.. Pics inside

Your English is fine. The paper model is just awesome! I don't know what would be more cool, the suit or making a full display figure of the suit.
 
Re: [WIP]Crysis 2/3 Nanosuit: Papercraft+sculpt+latex.. Pics inside

this is looking awesome keep up the great work. where did you get the files for the whole suit if you don`t mind me asking ?

Try to find where you live a silicon for molds that can be thickened with a product called Aerosil, this product makes the silicon yield more, this should do the trick for you, making the expenses a little less scary

1kg of special silicone for aerosil usage costs around 40,00 brl, 100g of aerosil costs 8,00 brl....

I worked with it a few times and i can tell that the expenses cut is huge, its not like smooth Mold Max but works.

I am also from Brazil and i know how difficult and expensive it is for us to find some materials.
