Kezia welcome I'm so glad or shall I say Mysterio yeah this is magnificent what
you're wearing it's incredible and am i right you've been cosplaying for a while
okay but this is if I'm reading correctly the first time you scratch
build everything in a copy yeah everything okay what was the impetus
behind wanting to scratch-build the whole thing so I usually will buy some
things off Amazon and like modify them but I wanted this one to be really
accurate and you just can't get that accuracy from modifications you got to
do it all yourself okay so walk me through the process I'm seeing so many
different techniques in this so I started with the boots
I used Beverly's technique for making the boot covers so I saw it everything
painted it and then I moved on to the suit no this is a texture that's this
you didn't buy the fabric like this mm-hmm
I just bought the dark green it's like faux leather hmm and then I had to hand
stencil all the little designs and then I hand painted everything it's coming
off a bit because it rubs yeah but thank you and it's across the
whole thing this bodysuit and you made the bodysuit oh yeah okay so once you
got the bodysuit with all of the texture there then having onto as there some
cache parts there's some foam additive building it's it's all foam did
everything out of foam this is foam this is from these guys are foam and then
underneath the stowable foam so to his hatchet to the fabric so it on the
syllable foam and then just barged on yeah Oh nip tea so you got a smaller
sort of footprint underneath to give it a real mechanical connection and then
this breastplate is you've got integral lighting in it as well some of it came
apart an airplane but that always happens so it's right high and then the
gauntlets are I see you've got that whole they actually open up to allow you
inside and they have integral lighting as well
see ya and then this is all a crook mm-hmm that we had to heat for him we
just bought big sheets laser cut out the pieces and then we had to sit there and
form it over like bowls and mugs and just stuff we found in the kitchen think
of it and then there's details which aren't on this cape or even more and
yeah look at this oh my goodness so these are all appliques yeah so we
designed the blue stuff we designed it and got it printed and then we used a
cry cut cut out all the pieces yeah and then just ironed it all on wow it's
really lovely it lends this great texture to this that's like it's really
of a piece because the Front's piece feels like a piece of jewelry yeah and
it's like getting the fabric and the hard parts to to play well together hmm
aesthetically is not trivial you've also got some different colors of metallic
paints the red here and the gold how long did this take you so I started when
the first trailer dropped and I made it for San Diego comic-con I think it was
like a month and a half oh my god that makes me tired just then I was very
tired when I got to the car okay if you're at the end of a build like this
do you have a you have a garage or a room or a craft building you do your
stuff in it's just a big garage it's a big garage and is it just like a warzone
at the end of costumes awful there's foam dust everywhere it looks terrible
do you above Sanders and belt centers and stuff like that for the foam work
yeah yeah talk to me about the actually really intricate detail here on those
these are 3d printed this is the only thing that I've ever 3d printed and
modeled it didn't turn out great because it was the first time we just got a 3d
printer we did you know great and see a little bit of the lines but it's okay
for faraway looks actually from a foot away it looks fine and you've matched
the texture of something hard 3d printed to something foam you match the color
exactly and that's not trivial thank you how does it feel to where I was just
before the camera rolled I was telling you that that the sad moment of
unspoiled the movie is when Mysterio says get this
stupid costume off me and I was no but you say no identified I do because it's
so tight and at the end of the day it hurts and so when I take it off I go go
bruises but it's worth it it's the armor bites and scrapes and yeah yeah in my
costume yesterday there was a part that was just touching my arm mm-hmm when I
was putting the customer but by the end of an hour on the floor and some big
bruise on me yeah yeah we have to suffer Kezia thank you so much for showing me
this beautiful work I can't wait to see what you do next year thank you
