Hush Chest & Legs - Pics Pgs. 1, 3, 4
I'm shading this currently but here's a look at what it looked like until recently painted up in one solid grey color.
Being that this chest piece wraps all the way around the body it can easily be painted any color and can double as literally any character or hero...like in this case a hybrid Hush/Panther....wait 'till you see the custom cowl.....
It's the same grey as the 12 inch Hush style Batman action figure. The camera flash as usual washes out a bit of the color and makes it look lighter than what it is in real life but I think you get the idea.
I'll more than likely update this in a few hours with the complete chest piece.
Also it's painted with latex based paints so no peeling, flaking or chipping off of any painted surfaces. Even where the belt rubs against the chest area or the armpits.
Here's a cool pic.... this is what it looked like fresh out of the mold....I had to hold onto the camera with one hand but if I take it into both hands I can squash it into the size of a volleyball...and it pops right back to it's original shape as shown above. It's light, flexible and does not need to be glued down to anything. Also all those specks you see on it are nothing more than lint...the chest piece above shows just how smooth it really is.
Enjoy!!
David

Re: Hush Panther suit is comming........sneek peek pics....
Thanks everyone!!!!
Ed...this is NOTHING like what you have. It is 1000 times more flexible...and a much more 'complete' sculpt. I believe if memory serves...you had the generation that preceeded this one...or you may have this sculpted version..dont know but I am sure you do NOT have these ones as they are cast up in just the coolest way immaginable!!!!!
Aside from the sculpt..which may only have slight changes to it at this point....it's just the whole process...the latex, power netting...and my own brew of foam I use inside.
-Yes you can lift your arms out and open the cape!!!
-NO IT DOESNT PEEL OFF OR OUT OF THE LATEX. The off the shelf stuff from Burmans to Polyteck seems to peel out so....I now make it myself and use my own technique to appy it so that it does infact bond to the latex!!!!!
Someone here is going to be one happy camper I can tell you that for sure!!!!
David

Re: Hush Panther suit is comming........sneek peek pics....
Here are some shaded pics....This is with the action figure. The grey on the toy is metallic so it sparkles but the tones are pretty much the same.
The shading is meant to be real subtle...
Several grey tones were used to get it to look 3D but still believable to a certain degree..
Legs...yup..got those too.
