Re: WIP - Batman Arkham Origins
Didn't get to finish the entire costume but enough to go out in. I should have them done by Halloween. Just need the bicep/tricep armor and the leg armor... Oh yeah, still wanted to to the neck pieces as well as the cowl if I have time. Also want to add the pouches to the belt. Last I figure ill paint on some scuff marks and age to all the pieces. For most of the night I was far and away the best batman at the party until my friend Andrew showed up in his UD Replica TDK costume. Lol. Hey David, let me borrow one of your Arkham Knight suits so I can show him up.

Thanks. I should be doing a little bit of work on it tonight. Going to see if I can get a black set of boots this week. Love the shape of these. But the plastidip isn't holding. The shin covers are rubbing off the dip. If they were black it would work fine.

Re: WIP - Batman Arkham Origins
Thanks again guys. I appreciate it. Today I started experimenting with painting techniques to see if I could make the armor look abused and battle worn. I started with the gauntlets, just dry brushing the edges with a mixture of black and white acrylic paint and I like the results. What do you guys think? Probably going to do the rest of the armor tonight.

Note to self. Never use red eva foam if your going to plastidip it black. I should have known thay reds and oranges are the hardest colors to cover up. I've used more dip than I used on some of the other pieces trying to cover up the crevices that still show the red eva foam. I then had to go in with acrylic paint and a paintbrush to get the spots the plastidip wouldn't seep into. Live and learn. I'll try the brown next time if the black isn't available. Right now im working on the boots again. Bought some more elastic so I can pull the shin guards more flush to the boot. I found that hot glue doesn't really stick to the rain boots rubber surface. Even after letting it dry for some time it peels right off. Maybe an epoxy would work. But I'm actually better off with the elastic so they are removable allowing me to reuse the boot for the next build. Also going to try adding some of the grey padding under the armored plates to give it some additional color and dimension.
Scrubbed the idea of placing more grey padding under the armored pieces. Looks kind da cool but makes a squeaking noise when I walk. Lol. Not very batman-ish.

Re: WIP - Batman Arkham Origins
Last night I made the armor for the biceps/triceps but need to put it together and put some elastic on it or strap it on with Velcro. Haven't decided yet.
Quickly making some upper leg armor as well but I think it looks a little cheap. Opted to use some 5mm foam sheets I had just due to time constraints(and the fact that I used it for both the boots and gauntlet and it looks great)... In either case im not sure I'm happy with results thus far. But the legs need some color other than black to balance out the look. Maybe later I'll go back and try to mold some leg armor with thicker foam if the look doesn't grow on me.
So today's agenda is to finish armor for arms and legs. Add the weathered paint job to those pieces as well as the shoulders too. Attempt building neck armor. Then go to Halloween party and act tough.
Thanks. I added the same effect to the chest piece as well. Looks pretty cool and passed over the chest and abs with a quick once over with black plastidip just to give it a somewhat grime look in certain areas.
