I used pepakura on the helmet. I used jf customs foam file and used card stock instead of foam or cardboard. But the rest I just freehanded the templates. I will try and get them uploaded this weekend but my work schedule ATM the pretty crazy. And no problem there not the best templates but it's a good base that you can modify for what you want.

Re: Custom Captain america suit.

Not sure I understand your question. Once I upload just resize and print. I will put some dominions on them to make it a little easier to resize.

It's getting there. Sorry for having the hand hold but still need to get a buckle and work on the straps. The A still needs a bit of touching up. I'm very happy worth the wings and liner. Hope to have the helmet finished this weekend and then it's a race to finish the shield in time.

Finished the liner. I think I may swap out the clip for a smaller one and also order some tan nylon webbing instead of using foam. But with the liner finished the entire suit is done. Just need to suit up.
More pictures coming soon.

Ditto! Looking forward to seeing it all together. Cheers on an awesome costume!

First suit up with the complete suit. I can move very well not as good as a fully sewn suit of course. Really happy with the way it turned out. The thighs are falling a little while walking need to figure out a solution for that one. I'll post more once the shield is finished.

Re: Custom Captain america suit.

Love it! I had a similar issue with my Old Republic armor thighs. The way I solved it was by making an 'under belt' which was basically just a band of 2" elastic. I then added 1" elastic to it and made, essentially, 'garters' that held up the thighs. When I put the actual costume belt over the elastic one, you didn't even notice the tiny bit of the 'garter' that showed between the belt and the thigh armor.

That's the good thing about elaborate 'busy' costumes, you're so busy looking at the awesome armor, that you don't notice some of the little engineering tricks that hold it all together.


Cheers!
