Description "YES, IT"S FROM THE MOVIE EVERYONE"!!!!Foam latex suit pieces sculpted for the "Rinzler" character.
Worked with friend Steve Kotch on this suit sculpt.
Doing hard surface-very symmetrical sculpting on a not so symmetrical body form was quite a challenge.

can you please give us a tutorial about how to do it - because I'm considering cosplaying as Rinzler for my next convention and I'm wondering if the construction process would be different because I'm a girl?

Do you have a DIY build that you would be possibly willing to share?

Hey Man, I just watched the updated version a second time. I've suddenly become infatuated with the suit, that I would like to see if making DIY version would be doable. Knowing that the machinery would be hard to find, what would be an alternative to find latex foam suits?

Me or the actor wearing the suit?

XenonMazi In reply to DaveGrasso [2014-03-10 07:52:30 +0000 UTC]

Both. The suit is pure sexiness, and the actor wearing it isn't so bad either.

Haha! You're sweet. The actor there is wearing a wig to look like the original Tron, he actually has a buzz cut.

How did you put the pieces on the suit if I may ask? And have you moulded it right on the body or in a shape? (sorry my english sucks, I am german)
It's amazing tho.

DaveGrasso In reply to SonOfLaufey [2014-01-07 20:22:29 +0000 UTC]

They were sculpted over a body cast of this actor. The pieces were glued down w a type of contact adhesive.

Thank you. I'm sorry, but I've been asked so many times about the construction of this suit that all I'll say about it now is that many departments and many people were involved.

Amazing work. Do you have any beauty shots of the sculpt from the rear as well? I know these pics are snapped from the set, but I thought you might have taken some portfolio shots you could share with us.

DaveGrasso In reply to AriocM [2013-05-22 14:16:34 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. Unfortunately, no pics of the sculpt were taken. Not very well documented. I didn't show pics of the back because my friend Steve Kotch sculpted the back while I concentrated on the front.

After reading through the comments I'm curious. what would you consider would have been a respectable budget to build the costume?.
many questions came to mind but I think based on this one I can answer most of them.
thank you.
and of course like everyone said your costume in the movie looked extraordinary professional.

Since you worked on the suit would you happen to know what type of lights were used on it? If so could you tell me? c:

DaveGrasso In reply to Xyphate [2012-05-14 02:48:27 +0000 UTC]

They were specially made for our suits, they're not something that the general public has access too.

Nolascana [2012-04-13 21:15:09 +0000 UTC]

with a little bit of hair styling i'd say the model for the suit would look uncannily like TRON xD I mean... I've watched them both recently too and had to really look to realise it was someone else xD really good job with the suit ^^

Thank you. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten the comment..... " It looks just like the suit from the film". I'm convinced that most people can't read or just refuse to.

Thanks, but I'm convinced that nobody reads the captions under pics anymore. This is the suit from the movie and that is the actor that plays Rinzler.
