Alright, here's my latest progress for tonight. I finished blocking in the blue areas with a midtone and finally painting the base color for the silver gauntlets. I also painted the hilt of the sword with a goldish color.

So this is my time line for the project overall:

10/15 - Block in blue midtone for suit and paint hilt of sword gold color.

10/16 - Finish the blue areas of the suit with shading and line segments. Add weathering to sword.

10/17 - Finish orange sections on the suit with shading and line segments.

10/18 - Break...

10/19 - Apply perma-wet to front of suit.

10/20 - Apply perma-wet to back of suit. Suit will be considered finished at this point.

10/21-10/25 - Paint and finish helmet and neck piece.


Just as a note- when I bought my lycra suit, it included a mask piece which I was going to take and probably cut out the front and paint blue so that my actual neck isn't showing when I'm wearing this costume.

Well i'm either showing my age or ignorance but i have know idea what you are making?
But,....it does look great and i will now google it!
Keep up the good work

Ok got it COOL!!!!!!!

Read the first page of my thread, that would probably give you a better idea

Thanks did that but i had to look up MGS to get the idea of the character
Good luck with the built, it is coming along nicely

looks goodf nice to see its looking more like ninja

Hey guys,

Got some more progress for you all. I finished the blue areas on the back of the suit and finished up my sword. For the suit, I pretty much followed the shading on the front in terms of having a light tone, middle tone, dark tone with those line segments I mentioned. The sword I admit was a lot of fun to do- I added some rusting and weathering across the whole thing and even a blood splatter near the end of the blade. Also, just for a bit of detail, I added a piece of brain tissue complete with a tuff of hair

i like the blood on the sword it adds a nice tuch

?
is that hair on the end of the blade

yes that is

Some new stuff: I finished the orange areas on Friday with some shading:



And some shots of the unpainted mask which I have to finish and paint courtesy of Mannowar. It's an awesome mask, I just have to make it a bit wearable now. I'm going to have to remove some of the inner sections of the foam so I can breathe and possibly punch out a few holes. Also have to get a velcro strap for the back.

the helmet looks good now it just needs some paint

Sweet. Do you have an estimated time of when you will probably be able to wear the whole suit?

I was thinking of taking some shots of the whole costume this weekend. I just need to find a good location to do a little photo shoot with this suit on.

Anyways, I got started on my mask today and was able to get a solid base coat of silver on it. I also modified the inside of the mask to make it a bit more breathable. I did not have to punch any holes actually, just remove some of the inside foam to open a channel for breathing.



Tomorrow, I plan on adding shadows and highlights, plus the red bits on the mask such as painting the LED light in the center.

Hey guys,

Just finished painting the mask tonight, here's what I got:




So I was going for something like Mannowar's original paint up, except that I made it a tad more worn and changed how the LED light in the center was painted.

Anyways, next step now is to get some perma-wet on the mask, and then start working on the neck piece!

looks good with details

I love the progress. Keep up the good work.

By the way guys, the suit is about 95% done, now I just need to get something like this today and I'm all set:



Expect to see some photos this weekend with me wearing my completed costume!

Hey folks,

As promised, here are some shots with my completed Cyborg Ninja costume, enjoy!

Awesome job man!!!! love the detail..

man that is outstanding work!!!

gotta say the hair and blood add a sense of brutallity.. love it!

Unfortunately, the zipper broke when I was on my way to the second Halloween party over the weekend. Otherwise, the suit held up very well, and everyone was impressed by the suit. Not many were able to pin point where the costume came from, but at least a few people did in the end. I think what I'm going to do is try applying some velcro straps on the back, maybe underneath the red areas you see there.

only thing to say is!


I've been waiting for this pain!

Now this is an amazing piece of work! Now don't get me wrong, yours is SWEET but I would prefer this one.

Parkourfox12, that helmet is HOT!

IT'S GRAY FOX!

Good job.





Yup. Awesome. Kinda wish you made the helmet and the gray parts of the suit brighter, though. They're a tad bit dark.

Great job! Good for you for never giving up on this.
