Haha a bunch of our Stormtroopers do this all the time and people constantly fall for it. Great work LongShot, it definitely looks awesome and I cannot wait to see the finishing touches.

Looks great, this is definitely one of the best Space Marines I have seen. I have kicked around wanting to do one before, but I just know I would get through all of the effort and end up hating wearing it in the end due to discomfort. I will probably end up doing a Tech-priest instead.

I always use an old sock I have laying around. I tried paper towels at first, but sometimes would get some of the texture of the paper towel left behind. Also the people I hang around with always call it an acrylic wash, but I have heard black wash before. I prefer the former though since I do...

This is pretty much just them using the Bioshock name to get more people interested in the game instead of having to say "From the people that brought you Bioshock". Kind of like they did with Far Cry 2 since the people behind the game could not get it green lit without the name. I am definitely...

Dang that is pretty cool. I like having a lot of nerdy stuff in my den, but nothing themed to that extent!

One tip I can add to what has been said is to just take your time and this comes from tons of experience. If you have never built a costume before you are going to be learning a ton of new techniques along the way. I know this seems obvious, but you will be shocked by the end and most likely...

Yeah I could see Vaseline working just as well. Basically anything that keeps the top layer of paint from coating the area, but still can be scraped off easily when you are done without leaving residue, discoloration, or removing the silver paint.

I said this when you first linked me the video Adam, but once again great job. You definitely did a good job of capturing part of what it is like to be at DragonCon.

A good method for getting the silver metal look where your top coat has been rubbed off is to paint the entire piece of armor silver first. the use a good mask in the area where you want to have the metal show through. This can be latex mask you buy in a craft shop, mustard, or toothpaste. Be...

It is a typo I made a long time ago in IRC (most people probably do not even know what this is anymore.) I was trying to call myself an evil genius, made a typo, and kind of liked the name since evil geniuses usually are missing the genius part. Even though I usually have to explain it to people...

I was still asleep when the first tower got hit since it was the week before I started college. My mom woke me up telling me there was an accident and I remember being super out of it because I had a dream just a few hours before of being in a place crash. One of those weird coincidences that...

With the progress you are making I definitely think you will be done in time. The pieces do not look rushed either, great job and good luck in the home stretch!

Hard to make out yet from what you have done, are you doing the movie style or the animated style?
