I finished Marowak today, just in time to hand it over to Steven tomorrow before he leaves for A-kon.

Let’s see, I had a lot a problems since the last post. I finished the bone first and painted it as it was the easier piece to sand and paint.

Before painting

After painting.

I got a little too carried away and used the whole paint can on the bone. I also had problems getting the head sanded and smooth. I never got it completely smooth, I should have sanded it completely then reapply bondo to the pitted areas. However, I ran out of bondo a long time ago and didn’t want to buy more. I also had to buy a hand sander because the sander attachment on the rotary tool wasn’t cutting it. But all that aside, it got done.

Painted

The paint made it look really beat up, so I’m going to say this marowak is battle worn.

Next for the eyes I used plastic canvas with a layer of organza sewn on.

Then I used sharpie to draw on the eyes.

Then I glued them in and put a felt lining in. Then it was done, see!

Tomorrow I should have pictures up of the completed costume.
