<!--quoteo<div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotecNot bad, although the costume has some inconsistencies. If your head is rotten and grey looking, there should be no tan skin showing anywhere, wrists, eyes, etc. I would raise the mask up some or use make-up. Make sure the sleeves are long enough or wear some wrist/arm covers painted the same as the under-mask as to not kill the illusion. Also the flesh from the machete should also be rotted looking not like fresh flesh, unless the rest of your body is that, say like in part 4.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndyea there are some mistakes in the costume that i would fix, but me and the gf whipped this whole costume up in 3 days, lol we both wish that the flesh tones on the pants, and shirts weren't so blue.. kind of dried different than we thought it would, but there is no flesh on the machete.. and some of the pics on top with my wrist showing, my gloves were just too loose, which i guess i could cover up with makeup to make it look more authentic. as with the eyes, i usually do have the makeup around my eyes and whatnot, and it looks great, but these were taken after halloween and only had a small amount of time to use my friend's camera before he wanted it back, lolthank you brad for the advice, i always love hearing people's thoughts that way i can go above and beyond to make new costumes, the one i plan on making for next year is gonna be phenominal! one thing i didn't understand about the mod podge.. is that - is it supposed to make the jacket all stiff and hard to move? i didnt mix it with any water, just smoothed it on with a thick paintbrush and blow dried.. that was our first time using mod podge, i do have to say one thing, that stuff is like magic, i love the wet look it gives!
