Pilerud's cosplay - Blood Angel Space Marine at SSGFC Stockholm 2012

Visit the Obscurus Crusade forum to learn about the build: http://obscuruscrusade.com/forum/index.php?topic=1544.0 Follow my cosplaying here: https://www.facebook.com/PilerudsCosplay I scratchbuilt this Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine Blood Angel Tactical Sergeant, 7th company, 9th squad, costume as a fan. It was first shown at The Scandinavian Sci-fi, Game & Film Convention 2012 in Stockholm, Sweden. About 300 hours in making, spread over 4 months. The current weight is 27,5 kg. Hight: About 210 cm/7' (I am about 183 cm/6' without armor). (To be able to move around easier and be able to use my own hands, the size is a compromize between proper SM size and a normal human.) Method: Pepakura (foam+hot glue) and some modifications to make it look more like the miniatures. And some aliminum rods, and screws and electronics. Paint: Red/black is regular indoor wall paint. Silver is spray paint ontop of grey wall paint. Plasti-Dip rubber coating sprayed on some surfaces so the color does not stick too itself and tear of when two peices of armor are pressed together. Cost of materials: At the present about 1800€. Getting dressed takes about 15 minutes, and requires a servitor. No comissions.
