hopeful recruit wrote:well, Paul is like 6'7" or so.. he's a giant.. and everything was sculpted to fit him. :lol:

Did you have to do much trimming?

I think he said he is 6 foot 3 . No trimming at all really . I'm pretty near 6 foot 2 myself . Except the knee caps don't line up at my knees properly . BUT i had to trim off the upper arm part and make them a separate item . They also didn't sit just right as is . And made it hard to move my arms .
One thing tho............since this is all a one piece front facade , it weighs a lot ! It's all strapped to me using 2 inch elastic strap with HD quick connect snaps .
But it is pretty easy to put on actually ! 8)

Y'know.... I can try to hook you up with some stuff, if you're gear isn't ready. :)

I have my boot facades that you can use... that is, if your calf is near the same size as mine:

Just the facades, though... supply your own foot protection :p

Now... I need to try to get the wig and a few other parts before the 28th. :lol:

Who are you getting the cape from? I'm talking to a guy about a full latex cape/cowl set, but pleather woudl be so much nicer on really hot days....

tim - what brand makeup do you use for the red - i found (by accident) a GREAT (and very cheap) type of lipliner that works VERY well over makeup and collodian.. let me know what you use, and I can tell you sometime (just not right now) what this brand was... i dont know how long it will hold up, but for $6 it was VERY worth it..
