Hey guys it's been a long time since iv signed in but I really want your help with this costume.

the outfit it's self is very easy but she has these root looking things covering it & I wont be satisfied with just basic fabric paint I was thinking hotglue but that could crack & fall apart. I'm pretty sure there is a type of fabric paint that holds the 3D look but I can't find it, any other suggestions are VERY welcome :3

Also any of you know what the best body paint is?

OMG. HELLO BUTT. <3

Would painted latex work at all? Glued to the fabric? That's all that's coming to me at the moment.

Master!!!!

PMP are not cheap, and they will be rigid, not flexible, I think. Wonderflex would be flexible. You can cut layers and push them on top of each other. There are flexible rubbers you can try. Even foam insulation strips/craft foam, with sealing and painting?

Some people to ask would be Body FX, and hmm. I can't find the reference of the top of my head, but there is a movie supply company supplies resins, etc, and can advise on material selection.

I HAVE MISSED MY MINION.

Tammy tried using polymorph pellets once! She couldn't get a perfectly smooth surface, but that may have been because it was the night before. Razz

I've seen others do it. So that'd be cool to try.

I don't think wonderflex would be appropriate for what you want at all really? It's thin plastic and would be very irritating to build up that way? >:

This is gonna look so awesome!

You can sand polymorph/FP though. I imagine the quality of the mould makes a big difference maybe, but I would be prepared to sand anything you mould. Do people completely melt the pellets first, or just soften them? I think it should melt completely at a fairly low temperature, which I can't remember off the top of my head.

People should also try casting more in pewter. But again it will be rigid.
