2012 TMNT Replica Costume
Has been in the works for several months with help from members on the RPF. Found this forum just recently and thought I should share it with some Turtle Fans.

looking real nice so far. maybe a padded sleave will help keep the shoulder/bycep from collapsing.

i'm liking the accuracy in the head mold. and i see that you went with the bluish-green skin tone mikey's been depicted in recent shows/comics. pretty good so far. can't wait to see the shell added. keep it up man.

WTF am I seeing. Is that a thumb or...
 haha, jk. nice job. I think you should have used Nickelodeon feet though. Those are not the right feet, considering you said "2012 TMNT" if that is what you mean |

I think you are doing a really good job! And the feet are fine since it has the movie look.

To quickly answer some of the comments:
1) These were just the RAW casts, padding will be added and it is being painted! 2) This was designed to look like the original TMNT I Mikey Costume, not the newest cartoons. Shell is out of the molds ready for paint

we've been pretty busy working on the suit and updating on the RPF. anyhow, here's an update... ALMOST done. also, paint is pretty much done. at this point, I'm just waiting to get the shell back from my upholstery guy (he is adding straps/harnessing).
