The wolf ones have not been matted down as yet ( later today ) I find when the matte is applied they come to life.  I am not and never have been a fan of completely glossy suits. 🙂

Progress on a wolf ish color scheme ( basically more yellow undertones compared to p1

Set of elder influenced hands off to A new home 

Get on with the rest of the suit Gene ya slacker !!

Is there a time limit from when the casting is made to when you can paint it?

Like does the silicone cure at a certain point and not accept the paint?

I believe ( could be wrong ) silicone is still curing for around 12 hrs so to get the best bond you should start the painting process as soon as possible once they see out the mold. 

Fresh out of the mold, silicone Pred hands, the start of a bunch of very different paint ups required.  
here they are fresh out of the mold, next the seamlines flashing will be attended to, before the fun of painting.

welcome to the nut house ( dont feed the staff after midnight they get crazy )  the wolf on the righ ti believe is a bob baggy mask. but its been a minute so im not convinced i am correct.
good to have more artists here sharing and pushing ideas and helping each other grow.

Looking really good. They look slimy and alive.

Are the hands on the cores? 

Just curious if the silicone can hold it's owner shape vertically like that or if it needs the core?

yeah they are on the casting cores for painting, silicone is super super flexible and will not hold its shape on its on with the shore i use.  i have a bunch of different paint schemes to do so ill post them as i go in a separate thread 🙂

looking great gene !!

Some absurd complaints here. Yeah ima keep scrolling. 

Few photos of the process 

movement test on the silicone hands.

These things are awesome.  Following the process of fabricating and assembling these has been super fun.

Are they meant to hold water at all? Obviously that's kinda crazy. But just curious.

How does a guy PayPal you to purchase a mini stasis tube? Because that would be sick on my desk at work.

 

Where is the escaped hugger version? 😁

Thanks Gene. 
 I have 4 smaller tubes to try water eventually but I am tied up with molding my pred hands and other things currently. 
I will check the mini hugger situation. I know I have one put aside for Keith and think I have materials for a couple more, and will hook you up if so. After that once they are gone they are gone. 

broken/escaped one I am working on 🙂

@Usurper

Do you know any UK mask sellers?

I do not sorry. Been stateside 8 years now.

Only took me 3 weeks but I have your measurement pics of the thigh armor.

 

Good tip on the books Chris. I got some of those same tips from Winston School classes. Got myself some Audubon society animal catalogues. Works like a charm. Good inspiration.

 

Awesome I don’t feel so bad about the sizing now. Thanks Gene

So to accompany my silicone facehugger, i decided to make a full sized stasis chamber, i went as accurate as i could with the limited photos i had. 3d prints and real metal items make up the chamber.
i also include lighting as standard and lights are controlled by a phone app with a color wheel. so you can chose any color or brightness, below are just a few colors. and a short video.
these stand 36 inches tall and i put my wolf mask in a photo to give a idea of that scale.
they will take any facehugger should you wish to add one, but i am also making a resin ( cheaper ) hugger as a option, which i actually started printing today and is a big version of the 9 inch table lamp ones i made a while back.

Also I made this one which was a pain in the ass but the effect was pretty neat. 

 

Way way back in maybe 2010 I decided I wanted to make a silicone facehugger. 11 years later I finally got my ass into gear and made one. They are around 52 inches long with wires in the fingers and base of tail making them pose able. 
below is some progress. I did post before but a forum reshuffle biked the thread.

The amount of detail is amazing dude. The texture lines on top of the hands look natural/organic.

 You want the best color palette combinations? Nature has them 🙂 - Little suggestion, get yourself some cheap Smithsonian animal books.  

I recommend bugs, shells, fish and reptiles.

Needs some refining but getting there, thanks dude.
yeah ive looked at countless patterns and colors, nothing is grabbing me. thats the trouble im very indecisive when i have free reign haha.
may make it fun and have people throw ideas at me.

Hands almost finished and again I amended the head sculpt. Hands will be finished and molded this week. I still have no idea what color or paint scheme I am going to go with. 
may start a contest for ideas with some sort of freebie to the winner of the  design I like and chose. 

Armor is armor. No such thing as feminine armor. Your bio for instance is a mysteria p1, a undersized bio. More for children. But men and women have both used it. 😉

Bio and thigh armor from 3d to real world. Some refining then off to the molding table maybe next week.
