MemberOvomorph02/22/2012Moving on from Megacon, this is how I envision the rest of my SJ costume to pan out (by June?).

I've finished the head/shoulders and both gloves. I believe there will be 15 separate pieces when finished. I've got 12 to go. The 2 lower (foot-like) pieces will contain drywall stilts adding about 20 inches to my overall height, putting me at about 7 1/2 ft. tall (a baby SJ?). As you can see I'm going with a bi-pedal version (with a little artistic license) as seen in the pic. from the movie of the ones in the hallway behind Shaw. I preferred some of the other fan designs I saw online and was a bit disappointed with the movie's take on the SJ... but it is what it is. Maybe there's more than one kind? I'll keep you posted.

Here's what's finished so far... for those of you who haven't seen it yet.

MemberOvomorph02/22/2012@ZetaReticuli: Thanks. Here's a better pic. The other seemed to be cut off.

MemberOvomorph02/22/2012You make it look so easy. I'm actually working on an alien warrior and face hugger for a you tube vid, and tried the masking tape trick. I could NOT get it to do. That is just amazing--you are the man.

Did you roll the masking tape sticky side out? That way it sticks to whatever your base is long enough to cover it with more. (Or use a glue gun to tack it in place.)

MemberOvomorph02/22/2012Looking awesome. I bet the finished product will be very impressive.

MemberOvomorph02/22/2012@db, I did, but I wasn't able to use a sturdy base (ie chicken wire). I figured that (plus the lack of experience) might be my prob? I really dug the appearance of veins and wrinkles you were able to achieve.
