Death Trooper WIP

New Hunter
I've made a fair amount of progress and thought I'd share with TDH.
First, the main reference: the Gentle Giant statue.

And that's all for now. After I reassemble my left forearm, I'll start getting this thing strapped and wearable. Still need to paint and weather a few parts.
 
All the hard parts look really close to the statue...nice job. Do you plan to modify the mask to look more like the statue? Or get a different one?
 
I tried looking for masks that resemble the GG statue, but this is the best one I could find on my limited budget. As far as mods go, I plan to cut away some of the black on the face and glue in some mesh so it'll be easier to breathe. A darker shade of green will be applied to the mask. I'm looking for ideas on how to make a see-through eyeball to glue in the exposed eye socket.
 
I appreciate everyone's comments.
I decided to ditch the mask. I'll be going with gelatin prosthetic applications from Nimba Creations (which should arrive any day now):

I have all the makeup I need to make my face look properly rotten. ;)

Started fitting parts:

Finished the boots and greaves earlier today. Moving onto the thermal detonator tube next.

Debuted my uniform at GraniteCon on the 13th. I was much happier with the fit this time, compared to last year's outing when the suit was red. Nothing fell off and I could walk at an *almost* normal speed. :D Didn't have a lot of time to apply makeup, so yeah there's something I can plan ahead for next time.


Here are some killer pics I found on the net. Credit goes to Karen West and Rodrigo Ramirez for these photos.

Copying the to-do list I posted on FISD:
- Attack the thermal detonator with the cutting wheel, improve weathering
- Remove bandages from left forearm (that was just a rush job for the con), apply cutting wheel to imitate the GG statue
- Hide Under Armor logo on my back
- Add rear coverstrip to right shin armor
- Improve weathering across all the armor pieces and boots
- Re-size thighs, forearms
- Properly strap upper torso and arms, replace suspender clips with snaps
- Convince my brother to pick up a camera again
