Hi Morton, congrats on your costume. How much money was put in all this?
Hi Morton, congrats on your costume. How much money was put in all this?
Material cost was $300, Shield I have about $600 in, factor in the leather boots, gun, and greeblies. I am going to say $1500-1700 I did not keep an accurate log of cost.TelnetCarlos said:
The bigger question you should be asking is time to make it... Over 500 on the sewing machine, another 200 hours in fabrication and leather.
It Shows!!! Great Work!
Hi There,
I didn't see anyone ask this, but how did you make, or where did you get the star on your chest?
Thanks
got it in the junkyard but now I can't seem to find the thread.
That's the stars...not the suit?sgmorton said:
Really wish I could find the HBT that you used. I read you tired to get more.
Found what I thought was close out of Italy but it had a small strand of gray interwoven in,but at a distance, looked like the perfect blue.
The chest star is Bamabat's, if I'm not mistaken. You can search for his thread in the JY. I just saw it the other day. I would grab the link but I'm on my phone.
He makes the shoulder stars too.
Jamie (hikz) is also doing a run of chest and shoulder stars as well
Ah, yes Hikz is! Thanks for posting that Kevin. I'm actually getting mine from him and completely forgot to plug his work.
Ok here is the deal. Today it became final that the mfg cannot make anymore of the fabric I used.
I have enough fabric left to make one more suit. This is for the blue only. I am trying to decide now the best way to go about this since so many of you want it. Suggestions? I am thinking just ebay it and let the market decide. I also thought about offering it for trade if someone has something I want... like Thor armor or Thor arms hint hint...
Considering how excellent your fabric is.... a trade for Thor would need to be equally epic.
I'd have to say ebay so that the market decides and perhaps you get enough money to get a set of Thor armor and still have some left over.
And thank you for continuing to get the fabric for the rest of us.
Fabric is now in the Junkyard. Looking for trades for Thor costume stuff first. If not I'll post a price or go to auction one of the two...

When I wore this costume in the spring to AllCon Neither Noir was there taking photos. These guys are super cool and just now, completely out of the blue they sent me one of my photos touched up to look like the movie poster. I am blown away !!!!!

Anyone interested int he extra fabric... It's up for auction now. See the Junkyard thread... http://www.therpf.com/f13/captain-am...fabric-154168/
What Does everyone use to attach the stars to fabric? Silicon based glue?
I used velcro. I found Blue Velcro at Hobby Lobby and glued that to the star. The sewed the hook side to the oversuit.
