Mine just came in as well, it's not stretchy at all. But I like the color and pattern, I think it's a very close pattern.Has anyone else got to see some?
Damn, I want to know if he made those shin guards or bought them from somewhere!
I got 4 yards as well. Yours didn't have any stretch at all? Mine wasn't much, but it had some 2-way stretch to it.
It had some, but I was expecting more. It's fine, I'm not a fan of spandex. It's pretty perfect for me. What's your thoughts?
That sounds awesome. I was considering something along the lines of a lining as well, and not focusing so much on a "stretchy" factor. What about the raised portions? 1/4" eva foam was what I was thinking.I'm not big on spandex either. I'm doing a black cordura with black stretch panels with this red being on top of the cordura so stretch wont matter.

What's your thoughts on the shin guards?I was thinking the same thing.
What's your thoughts on the shin guards?
I have heard of worbla before, but only once. Wish I would have thought of that last month. I'm attempting to make it out of orthoglass (what they use for a cast when you break a bone). But I'm not entirely sure it's going to work, so eva foam is my backup plan.I want to say some kind of molded plastic, foam or maybe worbla? They look really thin in the pics.

Nice! Can you show a few more angles?Why not just eva foam them? I freehanded the templates myself...
I got it from eBay. I think I spent about $70 for it. I received 6 packages of 4X15 (inches). I think have about 3 packages left, if you'd want to buy them. Shoot me a PM if you're interested. I attached a picture that came with the ebay listing. Also is a picture of what I tried to do with it (obviously I hadn't trimmed down the hand shells yet), but I think I'm going to go eva foam for the shin guards just like sjorsjo91 did.Ny the way do u know where to get that orthoglass water activated fibreglass bandage,cheap.i'v looked everywhere.online and stores and i can only find small short rolls that are expensive
Nice! Can you show a few more angles?
Yeah man, you definitely should. I made a thread. It's worth putting your ideas out there for the communitySure I''ll hit you with a pm later today. Might even start a own thread since I made everything out of foam and on a tight budget.
I'd probably only go that route if I had a muscle suit underneath.What are peoples thoughts on dye sub route for this suit?
I'm working on a universal muscle suit as well as trying to add real muscle to myself I am considering printing kens dye sub pattern on paper and using it as a base pattern for a scratch built costume I'm quite good with a sewing machine and it means I can get it more accurate then the cosplay ones without breaking the bank thinking of using the red fabric posted above and black pleatherI'd probably only go that route if I had a muscle suit underneath.
