While we're here I have a couple-few questions about the cosutme and its makings overall:
1. I am using a kids' Iron Man mask as the base for my helmet. Can anyone give me a good measurement for the distance between the eyes (outside the trim ring), and the hole diameter for the eye (inside the trim ring)? I'll use those measurements to scale my construction - this is one that I can't freaking eyeball, due to the differences in the way the two masks relate positionwise to the head of the wearer.
2. How's everybody planning to darken up the red jackets? Both the trench and the jacket look to be significantly darker than the pieces being produced (like, oxblood vs. cherry, rather than just needing a bit of weathering).
3. Does anyone else plan to use their phone as the walkman? I'm thinking I could do either the front view as a phone wallpaper, or get a phone case and do the back up like the walkman. I'll need a really good straight on photo of it either way though.
Cheers
1. If you have Pepakura you could use the distance between two points tool to get the measurements you need in relation to the eyes using Helagak's file to at least get an idea.
2. This is a pretty good question, I'm scratch making mine so I'm hoping to buy the right shade of fabric from the start.
3. I'm going to be converting a drinkman to hold my phone and make it look more screen accurate.
