Hi guys
I am putting the finishing touches on my palpatine costume. Hopefully to be finished my Auckland Armageddon. Fingers crossed. I have brought a full head silicon mask but I need some glue or something to make it have better facial expressions. Anyone able to help me out with suggestions. The other thing I need is make up to age my hands, not sure what type of stuff I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Matt.

Re: Palpatine costume makeup
Sounds cool! From my limited experience, pros aide or spirit gum would be used with latex, not sure about the best products for silicone. I know http://www.minifies.co.nz/ in Christchurch stocks special effect make-up supplies - I'm sure they'd be able to help you find the best suitable products for adhering and ageing make-up

Thanks for that I'll have a look when I get home. I looked up body.co.nz but I'm unsure of West products to use. This is most of the costume so far. Hope the pic comes through.

Yeah, that's a really nice mask. The fabric for your cloak looks great too.

Re: Palpatine costume makeup
Thanks Matt. A friend of mine made it in America. She got the closest fabric she could possibly get. I need to get it hemmed up but other than that its all good. I'm finishing the Emperors cane at the moment.
Snibo, that would be cool!! Look forward to it!
