Re: Dark Knight Foam/Styrene Updated with Template
Hey Guys,
A few updates (no pics at work.) I'm rethinking this build. I am going to be redoing the ab plates with the better templates I made and posted above. Those are traced from a promo photo of the Batman. I'm designing shoulder templates and have a fairly accurate tricep armor template that I will add tonight. The past few days have really been thinking about how the armor is constructed, strapped up and connected. I've been working off of screen shots from the HD copy I have. Mostly focusing on when Lucious shows Bruce the suit in the RandD dept. hopefully more to come soon!

This build is looking really good the way it is, I'm sure with your redesign it'll be even better. Keep up the great work.

Hey Guys,
small update with the tricep template, it will need to be scaled to fit you most likely. Still trying to figure out how the strapping works on the upper portion. Almost looks like the connects with the shoulder and or the shoulder and tricep are one piece. anyone know??

Re: Dark Knight Foam/Styrene Fresh Start
So I started fresh. Newly constructed with yoga mats and 6mm black foamies. The yoga mat patch i tested didnt take spray paint well. tips?
I am still highly dissatisfied with the chest...especially the bottom section. I think I need some fresh ideas on how to tackle it. I am also working on a way of constructing the shoulder bells with the foam with as few seems as possible. We shall see how that goes.
As far as the undersuit, I am thinking of possibly doing a construction similar to the UD replicas suit, but with a zipper in the back or in the front and have the ab armor and chest be almost like flaps and velcro on the opposite side. Thoughts? anyone done anything similar that I can base this build off of?

Re: Dark Knight Foam/Styrene Updated with Template
This is absolutely incredible. For 5 years now I've been looking for something like this. I have one very important question.
About what size are you scaling the largest part of the chest to?
I've looked at a lot of reference pictures but it's very hard to tell.
Thanks again! Great build!

Re: Dark Knight Foam/Styrene Updated with Template
Thanks a billion man. I actually am exactly 190lb and 5 11. I'm going to buy some EVA foam from SAMS as soon as I finish my wooden thor hammer and give this a shot.
Seriously, this was a brilliant idea.

Re: Dark Knight Foam/Styrene Updated with Template
Thank you! All of you guys.
I'll get the shoulder template up soon. The way I assembled it could be better, but it works for now. That will make more sense soon...trying to bounce between work, other work, friends, sleep and this.
