infinite mkv foam build

[gooxber]

heya! i just finished the boots yesterday, but since the weather isn't gonna let me plastidip them anytime soon, i figured i would work on the mirage suit i'm building for a friend! lil bit of a time crunch though, only two months before the con. yikes! in the meantime, check out some progress pictures of the boots!

all that's left is to put padding in the thighs, paint these, and mount the abdomen plate! but i'm gonna shift my focus to the mirage for now. i'll edit this post to have a link to the build thread here once i make it. i hope i get this done in time : T

Boots look nice! Good luck finishing everything in the next two months! I believe in you!

hey! i got some nice dark washing done recently, making the suit look nice and grungy. also put a clear coat on a few pieces but i dont have pictures of that yet. enjoy some photos of the dark washed pieces! :]

before:

after!

along with the front chest piece:

and the shoulders!

next up is to weather the ab plate and finish painting the boots! super excited for this to be finished ^.^

Your a brave man to try to get all this done in just a few months. I wish you best of luck!!

and after almost four months (may be wrong, i'm too lazy to check) the suit is finally finished! there are some adjustments to be made just to make everything look and feel better, but the suit is finished!!

it has lights, fans in the helmet, and a pattern on the sole. although as you can see in the last picture, the lights have a tendency to de-sync and change colors. made apparent by my 'lightish red' chest light :, )

for anyone in the area, i'm taking this suit to the Denver FanXpo, and the Casper Comic Con!

it's been a blast making this suit and i'm super happy with how it turned out! can't wait to show it off at events ^^

I love the use of the "wrong" side of the foam for the texture. Very clever

makes a nice 'undersuit material' sometimes, if you look at it the right way lol

I'll keep that in mind. I am so not looking forward to figuring out my undersuit

That all looks awesome!! Only critique is that the helmet could be just a little smaller to make it proportional to the rest of the body. But Id get not wanting to reprint, paint, and work on another helmet just to make it a tad smaller given how it is a pretty helmet

i also have a really big head so it would be a pain trying to get the fans inside and stuff with it being smaller
