Solid eye prop (pic heavy) NOW FINISHED PG 2

[golem95]

I havent seen any snake costumes or props posted on the 405th, and yes while i know its a halo based forum ive been a member awhile now and seen it expand into displays of props and costumes from many different games.

I know its a bit late to start working on this now but ive been wanting to make the solid eye system ever since the game came out, tbh i just love eye gear with cool led's

Without further ado ONTO THE PROP:






I made this using polystyrene like sheet, first time using this material and its a tricky one to sand just the way you want it and very brittle but easy to shape and cut out. Its not finished yet i just need to close off the ends of the areas where the straps would go in, i then plan on moulding it to make it hollow and add an led in it

So 405th... what do you think?
please comment if you think anything looks out of place or should be removed/added to it
Although, positive reinforcement is always welcomed too

Nicely done. Can't wait to see it completed

Are you going to SDCC this year? Kojima will be there for an autograph event and they'll be handing out some cool MGS stuff.

If not, send me a PM if you want any shwag. There's going to be an exclusive Snake T-shirt for comic-con done by Shinkawa.

Sorry for the double post but i have a predicament and i need people to see this quick so i can get an opinion...

is it too big?


it is isnt it >.<

EDIT****
sooo no one replied :P
oh well, i decided myself that yes its waayyy too big
so... i made another one another about 2 hours of work, including screwing up


the screw up

size comparison against the old one, the holes for the straps are now done so its off to mould! updates tomorrow cuz its coming up to 3am over here now :P

[golem95]

well i have another update for anyone watching this thread
now onto progress pics:




moulding process



this is my test fit, much better size now :P excuse the yellow patch behind it, i was getting lazy and just used a random bit of craft foam for padding... Also excuse me looking stoned, it was early in the morning okay? :P
I went over this cast from the mould with 600 grit sandpaper then 1000 grit, its ridiculously smooth to the thouch but im not sure how good itll look with paint so ill be doing a test tomorrow, if it looks good under paint ill be doing the final mould of this thing so i can make a hollow cast this time and add the led's
