Deathstroke improved - Arkham origins version

Improved my deathstroke, redid the helmet, made the sword, redid the chest piece (since it was small) added more details.

I also won first place at the comic saloon in Belgrade with this costume ^^

bonus - casual deathstroke :D




sword build

drew out my own template for the hilt, or rather the bottom part of the sword. This was drawn on sintra/forex, and then heat formed around the blade of the sword

the blade of the sword is 3 part sintra/forex, with the middle layer hollowed out and filled with wooden sticks, since sintra itself is quite bendable and not really stiff, so it wobbles..a lot

the grip of the sword is actually an empty bottle of vitamins i had laying around :D

cutting out the pattern into 2mm eva for the grip coat

grip asembled

the sword sheet is two part forex and eva 1cm in the middle , the metal pieces are from a hardware store, used for metal screws

new and improved helmet

i used a syringe filled with wood glue to fill the seams, this was a long  tiring process, but in the end, the helmet was without holes

first coat of paint

                   onto the final stages - the helmet and sword after layers of paint and clear coating

Dead Space 2 Advanced Helmet Build finish

After letting the paint dry i finally got to my favorite part of making props. Painting..

I used acrylic paint to achieve the effects in the photographs, after that i sealed them with a clear coat of paintsealer. LED lights are in plan, after i figure out how to work them that is. This helmet is now in the hands of my friend and she was psyched to get it for her birthday ;D So it was a smashing success

                                       

+ some bonus schenanigans when i gave her the helmet

the success of her helmet also made me want to redo my own n7 one so ill be doing that in the future and redoing parts of my n7 armor... Also adding lights to it.

Dead Space 2 Advanced Helmet build progress

 So my ironman costume was put on hold due to exam, lack of motivation and the contest deadline for application being sooner than i thought so i scrapped it. For now.

My friend's birthday was coming up so i decided to do something special for her, and since she is a big dead space fan and we plan on making Isaac and Carver and fooling around in our costume, what the gift would be was pretty obvious.

The entire build took me around a week or so to build, mostly because i didnt have proper patterns for the helmet so i had to wing half of it, most of the parts didnt fit together perfectly and i had to do a lot of resizing and such.

I used forex (pvc plastic) for the white parts, eva foam for the blue parts.

i used the official sculpture for reference on some details and the paint scheme

onto the build.

the start is always the easiest ;d

the sides warped too much so i aded white pieces of pvc to hold them up which i glued in later to make the sides more straight

the black pieces of plastic are actually case holders for PC processors, i have a lot of them laying around so i decided to use some since they have quite a nice bit of texture and shape. the screw shapes were actually beads from a bracelet i had lying around which also looked like somekind of spacey-screws.

TIP: collect random stuff, i have a whole case of useless accessories like this which may come in handy while building props. If something has an interesting shape? Keep it.

Finally done with the building, now for the sealing

i used about half water half wood glue to seal the foam, also was careful not to paint over the white bits. Whiped them off with napkins after finishing with the sealing.

after the glue cured i proceeded with spraying over the primer color black

After this on to my fave thing - Painting.
