K, I wanna start building a winter soldier costume. Any one have any idea's on a way to make a great cybernetic arm.

That's a great idea. In addition you could bulk up the arm with padding underneath the spandex.

try buying silver and base liquid body latex here: Vist liquidlatexonline.com for safe metallic liquid latex body paint and use the tutorial on making a latex body suit from lycra and liquid latex here: Lavendars Latex Lair Latex clothes and accessories look under the info on liquid latex tab
just make yourself a lycra glove all the way up to your shoulder and follow those instructions, and all you have to figure out is a way to make the lines on the arm. i'd probably do it by using painters tape and layering. you can do this for virtually any marvel character with a mech arm. Cable, Winter Soldier, Colossus, etc...
EDIT: on a thought, i'd say it'd be easier to make a mold of your entire arm and use the lycra and latex on that instead so that you can do it yourself, not have to hold your arm out for hours, and more easily add the lines

Why not just take an Iron man arm and make it a winter soldier arm, I am sure with a little tweeking it would look pretty cool.

I'm planning on putting a costume together as well. Here are the best shots I've found of the arm.

The top picture is from the Trailer. So, it's been touched up with CG.
The bottom is a production shot without any digital enhancement.

Something I discovered while researching different ways to build a WS arm is that the elbow joint in the film is computer animated! I found some set pics where the orange guide dots were on the forearm and upper arm edges near the elbow joint. made me feel better about puzzling over the best way to do the elbow joint.
My plan so far is to get a duct tape dummy of my arm and shoulder (probably my whole torso to make it easier to prop up on a stand). Either build up shapes using chair foam and coat it with something solid in places to get the required rigidity and flexibility, or just sculpt the darn thing and cast it in fiberglass and rubber. Haven't decided yet, personally. Let us know what you decide to do!

use Pep file for iron man, I'd epoxy it inside and out, use paper mache to add details, spray plastic it, then paint it. I wanted one too.. but been working on two projects for myself not counting helping the kids. Going to Comicon in April and need to get my costume done!!
Good luck! let us know and see what you chose!

I think I'm going to use metallic spandex underneath, then use Worbla or another thermoplastic to create a foundation. That way I can get the intricate metal pattern formed and shaded a bit. Does that make sense?

That's exactly how I'm going to do it!
