Wendigo costume set

Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago

This is a Wendigo / Forest spirit / Leshen (from The Witcher) costume set.
It's remixed from other things (see remix sources).
Scale it properly!
The mask can be printed in 3 parts if your printer has large enough build volume, or you can print in 6 parts (included in archive). Print with supports and probably with rafts (if you have problems with delaminating supports). Make sure to scale the mask right: my guess is that for 58 cm head circumference somewhere around 103-104% scale up would be ok, while 100% was too tight and it cracked eventually.
Either way, you'll need to find a way to glue it, so find the proper glue for your plastic. There were no full mask model in the source thing, so I can't provide you with one.
Antlers have both full and cut in 3 parts models (included in archive). Print with supports and rafts.
Antlers came from different model than the mask, so the mask doesn't actually have any special place to attach antlers to. I used an awl to puncture the skull at proper places and then used a drywall screws to pivot/attach antlers. Then I secured them with hot glue right between antlers and skull, which turned out to look like those natural bumps at the base of antlers and blended pretty well when painted.
To properly size claws first print the Sizer part (included in archive) in different scales (start with 120% and increment up to 190%). Try printed sizers on your intermediate phalanges (second from the fingertips). It should fit snugly. When found proper scale for each of your fingers, print 4 ClawFinger and 1 ClawThumb per arm at desired scale. Claws are printed with supports and rafts.
All of these can be printed in draft settings, with maximum layer height and nozzle diameter.
