Wow! That was one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while. I watch many. When I saw the beginning of the video, I was trying to figure in my mind how u did it. But I hadn’t a clue, and was riveted to my iPad. Even without the black latex it looked great. I’m one that love clay sculptures not painted. Left in grey clay color. Anyway.. I’m gonna watch some more of your videos later tonight.
Zero1282 yep the spandex is a little difficult not get wrinkles. Light weight thin stuff is easier. When another muscle suit build comes up I’ll make sure to film it if we go that route. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Love this vid. Would love to attempt to make it myself but it seems over in England that the latex paint and the quarter inch foam just aren't available to buy 🙁
this is awesome!! i'm working on a cosplay of a character called MAG Hank (from Madness Combat) and he's got a singular huge arm kinda like this one, i've been looking everywhere for tutorials with more simpler materials because unfortunately i am on a tight budget, but this video is just what i needed! thank you!!!!
This is amazing. I am looking at doing Thanos this Halloween and will be following this method. One question, can you bend your arms in this style of suit?
Scott Williamson yes but it can be a little tight. I got the bicep a little long on this build which made it harder because it hit at the elbow. My venom trooper was even bigger at I could move pretty good.
@@BarefootProps O i did sub for sure im going to attempt to make this maybe for Halloween. You should try to make a full body venom one that would be sick.
Awesome concept and good tutorial. I've done muscle suits before for my BVS Batman and Darth Knight cosplays but was looking to up my game and came across this while researching. Ironically, I too am doing a Thing for my next project and this gave me some ideas!
thought i seen all videos about muscle suits or monster making in general...really cool what i seen so far...for larger suits with alot of foam you could use an electric bread knife. really helped me just sayin. keep up the good work.
@@BarefootProps i see. well i guess whatever works best in the end. yeah i saw that as well ...really cool looking. i subscribed so i wont miss new videos in the future. wish a happy new year to all of you.
Hello, first of all praise for your work. It's just WOW! what kind of material did you use exactly? such as the thickness of the material? I would like to build with a few Thanos arms and your video is very insperierent
Justin Littlejohn yeah I just filmed that part in high speed. Basically I used a work glove for base and built up layers of foam on it. I trimmed it to get the shape right and skinned it like rest of arm.
Yes a glove that covers wrist would be good. Just anything that you can get your hand in and out easily. Seems like mine had elastic in wrist so I cut the elastic to make it easy to slide on. As far as your other question either 1/4 of 1/8 thick foam should work. 1/4 will hide defects a little better but won’t be as sharp and defined. The one featured in this video is 1/4 inch thick except for the hand.
Thank you much. Lucky if I can get close to what you did. You did a great job. Where did you get the 1/4 inch? Is it upholstery foam too or something else? I can’t seem to find much under 1/2 inch. Also have you ever used EVA foam, like a 2mm over the initial layer, can that work as well instead of the 1/4 inch? It’s malleable enough but may not hide the imperfections. Thank you again for you help. This was best video that was closest to what I am trying to do.
Thank you! Looking into foam mart and other. Just trying to do something a little different which is why I thought of EVA foam. I will give the 1/8 or 1/4 a shot first. Thank you for your help! Awesome videos/help
Stefan Luna if your talking about something like “Flex Seal” it probably would. Would try on scrap piece first. To make sure the solvent in paint spray can wouldn’t dissolve it. Dry times might be long.
@@BarefootProps Well I use the leak seal which is basically flex seal but from rustoleum as {I used to work with them and I use only their paint products. I works wonders on foam armor sealing and in about less than an hour.
Thanks for info!!! Flex seal is like a 24 hour full cure time so that other stuff sounds great. Still would test in scrap piece of upholstery foam first.

Matthew Aysse thanks for the review. That was a fun video. Trying to get better at them. Oh and thanks for the sub!!!!
Would love to see how you skin one with spandex and use latex that way I could see the difference in the two!! Love you work man!
Zero1282 yep the spandex is a little difficult not get wrinkles. Light weight thin stuff is easier. When another muscle suit build comes up I’ll make sure to film it if we go that route. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Awsome idea dude

There's no reason why holly wood can't do a practical effects HUGE Bane
Auracore _ would be hot but very cool to see!
You should change your thumbnail, this looked much better in the video than what the thumbnail showed, I think this video could get a ton more views.

You so welcome
Hey reaching out really late lol but was wondering where a good place to buy or learn to make a mannequin like the one you used?
I have a video on making one. Look through my videos

I LOVE the intro
swift ninja thanks. It was fun. Please subscribe if you haven’t already. Its one of my favorite videos so far.

jiorts yep I tried ours but didn’t work well. Probably just bad blades. I like the band saw the best. Check out my video on female muscle suit.

jiorts thanks for the sub and feedback. Happy New Year.
This is great thank you!
Click Bait & Hate your welcome!
awesome job my friend would you sell one of these suits best ive seen
Thanks, not currently doing custom orders.
This is amazing!!! Exactly what I've been looking for for my THING build. Thanks!!! oh and Grrrrr :-)
Mark Brewer cool!!! Would love to see what you come up with. Tag me on Instagram if you post pictures #barefootprops
This tutorial has saved me. One question though. How does the latex react to heat? I'll be going to a con that is mainly outside during the summer.
chrisckvan hot. Hot hot Hot
Do you sell fully assembled muscle suits like this one? I'm looking to cosplay Venom soon. Thanks
Ashton Ray sorry but no. It’s best to custom build it yourself so it will fit properly.

Mr. Ploddi I used 2” thick upholstery foam. And 1/4” upholstery foam. I have another TH-cam video that covers where I get my foam.
@@BarefootProps thank you, then I try my Best :)
Thats awesome!! thx for the video , just found you today ..subscribing and will study your stuff! really great!!
Rob Ruiz thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it! Share videos with your friends if you find them helpful. Thanks again!
Nice!!!!!
Thanks!
Thanks
Great video tutorial!
TheSnackOfPacks thanks!!!
What kind of foam is the 1/4 inch? I am trying to make my son an arm for a big arm morty costume and ordered some that wasn't the right kind.
Fireamethyst it upholstery foam. I have a video where to get great foam and I show you where I get it.
How did you create the hands? The video skipped the hand/wrist build
Justin Littlejohn yeah I just filmed that part in high speed. Basically I used a work glove for base and built up layers of foam on it. I trimmed it to get the shape right and skinned it like rest of arm.

Justin Littlejohn I have a video about where to get good foam. You can order it from one of those sites. Eva foam will be to stiff.

Great Intro! Smoking the devil's lettuce!
fallingstar770 thanks 🤪🤪🤪🤪
I'm looking to make a Spawn suit. For the latex flesh would leak seal spray latex work? I've really been curious but noone has tried it yet

NinClay glad you liked it. Please subscribe so you won’t miss more cool videos. Also if you have questions just let me know! 😀

The devils lettuce does not make you feel bad you should be ashamed for putting that in there
After long time researching i finally found a video for the exact muscle look i wanted for my kids halloween costumes. THANK YOU! THIS IS AMAZING
Thanks so much
