Terminator 2 Life-Sized Costume

[🪦 sirbrad ●]

I have been wanting to do this project for many years now but held off as I could not find a decent mask or exposed endoskeleton parts. I figured they would be way to hard to make, but I know if I put my mind to something I can achieve it s Io tried making them and they came out pretty good for my first attempt. I used cardboard and some eva foam parts so far, and this will be a wearable costume and life-sized. I wanted a silicone mask from Howard S Studios, but he makes them for display only and they are very expensive. But I found another great mask that will be great for display and wearing which will be shown later when the project is complete. At first I was going to use chrome paint, but I wanted that reflective chrome look so I went with aluminum tape as I like that shiny, reflective metal look. Plus much of it will be covered anyway depending on how much weathering I add. But so far so good. I used a shin guard for the exposed shin and added some cardboard shaping. This will be a custom part 2/3 look but mostly T2 based. The cardboard parts were definitely a major pain and I am very happy with how they came out the first time. I am really looking forward to this one being done. For some reason photos will not work here now? I can\'t post more than 4 and they only come up as links? So here is the album link:http://imageshack.us/g/687/imag00352.jpg/

Thanks man. It was a major pain to work with as sticks to your hands and tried to wrinkle so I did the best I could. But knew I would be weathering it anyway. But the results are starting to get better so will see how it goes.

Added a more realistic fleshtone and first layer of dark blood on the wounds.

Connecting an LED light with battery pack and switch, also added some tape to the LED holder to make it blend in and look chrome from the front. Got the skin more weathered now as well which will be seen in the next pics.

Testing out the brand new motorcycle boots ready to be destroyed lol. Also making the M79 grenades which are coming along great.

Really nice work on your costume so far.
I have ruined numerous pairs of mint condition boots either by weathering them or cutting a hole in the bottom for a prop rod. :whistling:
