Terminator 2 Life-Sized Costume - sirbrad - 09-04-2011

Thanks. Yeah I had to cut holes in boots before for my other mannequin foot rod, as the feet don\'t work well with the calf rod because the feet are not pointed enough and too flat. Luckily I have not runied any yet, as my old mannequin works great with the leg rod.

Working on the gloves. Pics a little blurry for now since I had to hold my hand up and the camera with my opposite hand, but will have better ones later once done.

Thanks, yeah luckily I have not ruined any yet, and did cut a hole in another pair to fit myother mannequin as the leg rod does not work well with boots due to the shape of the feet. Luckily my first mannequin has pointed toes sort of, so it works well with height boots too.

Added more fingers and flesh, and base layer of blood on cut edges. Hot glued them all in. Details will show up way better in daylight, but still on the work table for now.

Got the first coat of paint on the barrel and added end pieces to the grenades, and firing pins.

Thanks!

Coming along nicely, getting very tricky and difficult now to match up all the foam piece by piece, and once you hot glue it is tough to get off. But I love the challenge and so far so good!

I just added a coat of textured black paint with some gray in it, looks just like gun metal. Might make it damaged some as well. Will have pics soon. Here is a little teaser trailer I made for fun.

It is a VERY tough bulid especially for my first try, but so far so good! I might also make an M-79 Grenade launcher out of foam later. This already feels like a real gun, gonna be super sick! I am also working on various weathering color schemes, but first I am painting it up to look like a new gun, a blackish gray textured color.
