| Currently working on my Psycho Mantis costume! Been working on this for a while now, its surprisingly hard to get all the pieces I need for it.. Managed to score myself a decent looking gas mask that looks similar to the one he uses, and I have the bodysuit sorted too. Gas mask is having some fitting problems at the minute but i should be able to sort it... The body suit needs a few alterations made to it, such as the arms being removed but that is more a finishing touch kind of thing. Still need: Boots Gloves Bald cap | |

Painting gas mask problems (Posted 18th May 2013) Hmm, it seems I'm having a few problems with the gas mask. It fits perfectly and I'm happy with the shape / style of it - but the painting is proving troublesome. I'm having to use black tyre paint on the mask so it will stick, but after every use I have to touch up certain areas as the paint cracks and flakes away. |
|
Nearly done! (Posted 30th April 2013) Today I completely painted the gas mask, altered the body suit, altered the new gloves and started searching for the right boots - final steps!! |
|
New parts arrived! (Posted 30th March 2013) This morning my body harness and new gas mask arrived - yay!! |

Currently have a zentai suit but working on getting an actual latex body suit instead as I think it will look much better :D The biggest problem is the mask - its impossible to find one i'm 100% happy with :(
