lookin good soldier :thumbsup
Havent posted in a while...but have finished my costumeYes it's not a direct replica, but costing, time and body shape (being very short!) means this is the best I could do, wanted it to have a more feminine edge so kept my hair and only panelled the front of the jacket up to the chest. Hope you like it!
Hey! This looks great! From one female to another, it's hard to find a good female version of WS so thanks! Did you purchase or make your mask?
Hey. How does the foam keep shape this well? Is this shape obtained by using a heat gun before you apply the vinyl?

Thank you! I think I'll leave it with those boots. Because they're wicked comfy and they don't look shiny new. Because if you look at the Winter Soldier, he doesn't wear new stuff. Everything has a slightly used look to it.
That said, how do I make a leather jacket look old and dusty without damaging it? Basically, I want it to look like it has seen some fights without actually having to shoot at Scarlett Johansson from a bridge before getting beaten up by Cap.

Gah, another question where my English fails me. What's the fabric called that the harness is made out of?
Also, where can I get cheap black EVA Foam? Because it seems to go by many names and I have no clue about any of this.
My plan is this: Get straps, make backplate, combine, mount sword on it, look dashing, don't cut anyone, success.

I think it is military grade cordura wrapped around 1/8" vinyl foam padding (even the straps, sans foam)...but most people use 1.5" inch nylon which i think is also called "webbing."
any store that specializes in gym/sports equipment or in stuff for children. EVA foam is usually sold as puzzle-shaped floor mats for kids play areas and exercise rooms.

i would say dry dirt or sawdust. clean earth dirt (like for planting) is harmless. i think it washes right off. (but don't hold me to it i am only theorizing here)

Yes craft foam is heat-set and it should definitely be shaped before the fabric is glued on.

For pattering the vest/jacket I found this its kinda hard to see but if anyone would like it here it is. It seems pretty on-point as far as the pattern goes.

Hello, I am still perfecting my knife molds and the Benchmade is ready to sell. This is the link > https://www.etsy.com/listing/200646059/replica-benchmade-socp-dagger-hard?ref=shop_home_active_1
If you wish to buy a full set or other kinves, by next wedneday or friday I should have the rest of the knives and complete set up for purchase. If you wish to ask about the knives you may message the etsy shop or here on the thread. The shop owner is my sister so you may be talking to her sometimes so that is why it is not in my name. Prices are final and no adjustments will be made.
If you have any questions please feel free to message me.

ok so i know most people are not gunning for screen accuracy, but for those that are, i have finally found a website that sells "affordable" eotech replicas. $50~ free shipping, versus the hundreds you pay for the real thing. it has taken me a painfully long time to find these, so i am posting just in case itll save someone else the time. also, there are apparently some troubles with the legalities of these things due to patent issues (seller-wise, not owner-wise), but it does appear this china-based website successfully ships to USA. i will let you know for sure once/if mine arrives.
-->here is the link<-- if you click around you will find a couple versions that are in the $40s~ range
