Custom Hawkgirl

I am currently in the middle of a custom Hawkgirl creation for a Comic Con coming up in September. I am hoping to get both this and another project finished by September 13th.

I have purchased two sheets of worbla, a bunch of fabric, and a few giant ornament spheres to start the project.

Pictures so far.

I started with a foam head, but those display heads are pretty tiny, so I built it up with some aluminum foil and duct tape. Then I covered it in a layer of aluminum foil to prevent the worbla from sticking.



Slowly making progress on the helmet:



Adding scales to the helmet for some uniqueness:



My wife is making the chest armor:




And! I started on the wings. These I made out of some corrugated plastic that we had laying around in the shop, some PVC pipe, couplings, PVC 90 elbows, and 4 galvanized pipe straps. It is all held together with rivets!



More pictures and progress to come!

All I can say is wow. beautiful work.

More work on the costume:

It started as a giant ornament. I scraped off the glittery / the outside and was left with the clear portion.

My original plan was to make it glow, but with plasti-dip, paint, etc. the scratches and the glowing just wouldn't work out.

Not sure we are going to make it before the deadline...I might have to come up with something else for my personal costume (was previously going to be Iron Man, but it is not painted yet).

Looking good so far.Keep the pictures coming

I knew your IG-88 looked familiar! I just found this thread on Saturday! I would have loved to see that mace glow.
