edit: final costume - more on page 2
hi chaps
I'm building Thor's costume (from The movie: Thor, not Avengers) for new years party and was inspired by this forum to go to town much more than I was intending.
There have been some great costumes made, but I feel a lot of them are let down by ill-fitting/too big tunics, dodgy puffy sleeves or flat 'pods' (the six circles on his chest/belt - i don't know what they're called!). So i'm going to try to address these issues with some cunning elaborate plans...
Fortunately I have the hair and beard already, so I can avoid the stick-on-beard approach too.
my wife helped me build the unholy gimp-suit clingflim and duct tape mannequin so I could fit the costume to my own body. Using the Avenger's designed armour from October and Rules's tumblr I saw linked on one of the threads here []October and Rules Cosplay Blog ? Thors chest armor diagram for Rule?s Thor cosplay.... as a rough template for scale and form I designed the Thor Movie armour
based on photo refs from the movie printed out and attached to my mannequin to check sizing before cutting out of foam
