Great Lakes Garrison & Base

This is what I have so far. I hope to have the whole outfit complete October/November time frame. I am stoked about this project! I will however need to switch from using pvc to a wire frame due to the weight. Soon I shall try for denizen of the Empire. If anyone knows what kind of weapon an Ithorian would use that I should build for it, let me know. (Suggestions/advice always welcome)

Paul this will be awesome, what were you going to use for the skin?

For the skin, I will be using a synthetic sued upholstery fabric that has a great fleshy texture to it. I will have to use upholstery spray paint (dark tan) because it is currently a dark crimson.

As I said at MCCC, this looks awesome. Cant wait to see it done!!!

Is that carpet padding?
One hell of A great idea.I will be watching this very close.Looks like you are off to A fantastic start.
Keep the pics comming.

Looking good paul, keep up the good work.

A quick progress update- I'm having to go with sculpting wire for sure due to weight concerns, but all else will remain. (Shawn,yea, it's carpet padding. Gives it a nice tissue feel.) Thanks for the encouragement troops!!

AWESOME!!!! I can't wait to see how this turns out! Wicked Awesome!

Update, yay!!!
Bought fabric for the tunic tonight and it is being dyed as I type. Then I will be able to sew it all up in a few days. Pants ( shorts actually) are done. If the muscle suite fails to work for the legs I am going to attempt to make a clay sculpt and have a friend of mine help cast them in his basement shop. ( he sculpts and casts horror masks of foam latex) That would be a whole lot of work and considering I have no clue what I am doing, I hope I don't have to. Although that is how we learn. I will continue to bungle through this project, as I do in life until it is done and hopefully in the end, I will be wiser.

Awesome Paul!!!! I love progress pix and or info on costumes. I have been waiting for new info on this!!! Good luck!!

It's looking really good, but that sucker is heavy! I got to try it on last night
Don't let me forget Paul to show you that fabric whenever I run into you next. It's still the same fabric type you want, and colorwise it matches what you told me.
I own too much fabric, two totes full...

Quick progress report. I finally have the sculpting wire and started back to work on the noggin.
I should have a full shape in few days or so. Then I can start on the innards. I am so happy that it is starting to really come together.

I "REALLY" can't wait to see it when your done making it . hope to see more pics or for
that matter at the up coming MCCC.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this come to life. The Hammerhead figure was one of my favorites when I was a little kid.

Latest pics. Sorry it took a while. Still plugging away at it!

Can't wait to see it done!!!

I know, I'm a bum. I am hoping to get re-started on this as soon as I can. Just juggling a few projects at the moment.
