Fortunately I have very talented friends from the 501st in Mexico City (Aldo and Daisy thank you so much) and of course my wife Sandy, they helped me do a face cast from the beginning.
We use dental alginate, orthodontic plaster, plaster bandages and pieces of Styrofoam.
Ok, once the helmet was finished I decided to work on a prosthetic with the aim of being a real zombie under TK armor.
I know the CRL doesn't mention anything about prosthetics but I want to wear the helmet, then take it off and be a real walking dead.
Finally, continue giving it several layers of paint with very faint yellow, brown, black and a little green, all with an almost dry flat brush.
The fake blood is dark and to give it that coagulated effect I mixed it with transparent epoxy glue.
Once I was done with the damage to the helmet I started to make the mess with coffee bean residue. A great friend from the 501st taught me this technique to start giving it that old, worn-out feel.
I drew with a marker the damage that I want to break from the helmet.
I designed a logical story for the damage to this brave stromprooper, based on an explosion near him, at the time the outbreak began.
Hi! I hope all of you are feeling very well.
For several years now I had not been able to start the project of a Death Trooper, one of them is that I delved into other 501st costumes, the most ambitious was Cad Bane. At the beginning of 2023 I started working on Tk's helmet to turn it into a zombie. I was fortunate enough to investigate this wonderful forum where I found very valuable information.
Without further words I will show you how the project is going…
