Only issue I am having so far after doing a fair bit of research into mould making and casting is the supply of stuff. Lots to think about, though tbh I am most excited about going into local toy superstore and choosing a cool nerf gun to use as a base for my rifle build.totally not just wanting to buy NERF guns!
Main ideas to fabricate are these (gun replica I am making is the Monte Carlo rifle (white one in top pic, as its easy to make it look like a toy and not get shouted at by local police : The other idea is to make my own sort of trench coat affair, using sections of material for colour, however finding a pattern to work from to get the basics is a bit difficult. a lot of it, and it may flood any detail I do under the coat. Helmet is going to be bespoke so I know that's going to take up lions share of work, however my long duster coat ( a replica of Neo's Trench coat from the Matrix made for me about 8 years ago wit a few changes like no buttons or pockets etc, it would work but its very heavy with material, i.e. Got a few ideas going round in my head, biggest issues being the helmet and the coat. Hope to learn some tips from everyone here. Having never done this before, there is nothing like diving in at the deep end, ill either swim gracefully or sink in a blob of resin. The plan is to create a Destiny Warlock character using some stuff I already have (movie replica trench coat, motorcycle boots and gloves, and go from there, I may have to make my own waistcoat\inner jacket but well see. So I am now in the process of learning Pepakura and resin casting, (this wont end well I feel).
However as we are having our first ever local comic con in Aberdeen on the 30th of May, my mates and I are looking to do some cosplay, and as usual I am the first to make a go of it, and as ususal, I cant do it by halves.
