So after seeing the new Flash suit in the 'Justice League' trailer, I wanted to build it. My question is what would be the best materials to make the suit out of?
If you want an accurate look, I'd say a screen printed bodysuit, and hard armor parts, either 3D printed or vacuformed or urethane plastic. A cheaper way would be a lycra dye sub bodysuit and foam for the armor plates I guess. That's how I would tackle it at least.
I'm working on a 3d model of the whole armor, i've got a thread for it, it will be for pep and 3d printing, as for the undersuit/body suit if you want screen accurate one get a screen printed one (wont be cheap) or a dye sub.
I have actually been thinking of using urethane plastic for the armor. I just don't know if I'd use that or if I'd use a mixture of urethane plastic and rubber.

UPDATE: So after looking into it. I'll be trying to get Kiyo's panels as soon as I can. Along with that I was looking at a shot from the trailer that shows a closeup of the suit. It looks like the a carbon fiber type material with the brick pattern panel on top.
A friend of mine said the best way to go would to get a custom file from Brandon Gilbert then getting it printed and sewn from The rpc studio.
The armor is still in development. I most likely will be making it out of urethane rubber and plastic.

So first off, this project is officially on hold! Mainly because molding and casting all the small pieces is just not possible, financially and time wise. If you guys do have any ideas, please feel free to post them. As the suit will be made before the film comes out.
