Hello to everybody!
My real nickname is CangiaFriend, but i made a mistake when i was registering.
Anyway.

I'm italian, from Pisa, i'm 20 and i want to share my work to all of you.
Hope you like it!

Let's begin with the W.I.P.

-T-Shirt-
At first, i bought a red Polyester t-shirt from Decathlon's website, and i painted it with brown spray paint. That was the result.

After, i made a kind of armor, with foam mat.
Hope you like my Snoopy's blanket too.

Now double-sided and put the t-shirt on. I redefined the lines with eyeshadow and pen. The R is in foam too. Here you are!

Next posts will be the other parts i finished for now.. Tell me what you think! :$ :love

-The belt-

I think this is the most difficult and time expensive part of this cosplay.
There where many options to make a belt similar to robin's.

So many people pay little attention to the belt, then make it with little cure. I think the Utility belt is one of the most important aspect of a batman/robin cosplay.
I choosed the most difficult option: Make it in wood.

i cutted the wood to make 10 little rectangle boxes, then with a cutter, and a dremel i gave them the form. Chippings and wounds, Chippings and wounds everywhere.
And then the first piece saw the light.

I made some little changes to the original belt, but only for my comfort.
And, yes, i made the containers one by one.

Then i used a real judo belt, to have something where secure the container, just like this

And now, painting and finish.

Let me know what you think! leave a little comment

Re: Ultimate Arkham City Robin Cosplay!

Uhm, great Idea the Wood pouches!
Try to put a coat of primer first, and then paint them.

Also try to work with the sandpaper to obtain a smooth surface

Looks great! You could even use those to make vaccuformed parts that are hollow and light weight. I like the wood approach personally though.

Re: Ultimate Arkham City Robin Cosplay!

I think that the best wood to do this works is the MDF.

Thats very solid work. There is a lot of crappy versions of this.

Re: Ultimate Arkham City Robin Cosplay!

Good start!! I agree that a primer, maybe several coats and sanding would be beneficial. Also, MDF would be a better and cheaper material. You've definitely got the passion and drive! Looking forward to the rest!

Ultimate Arkham City Robin Cosplay!

-Boots-

There's how i made Robin's Boots.

I bought at the supermarket a normal pair of rubber boots. You can also find them in sport markets.

Robin has a kind of protection on his shinbone, but is so strange to realize. I did the best i could.

With my usual mat i covered them behind, after cutting for resize, and then paint.

Then i glued the elastic straps. I think is much bigger than original but it was the only i had.

And now, silver paint and finish.

Tell me what you think! leave a comment! thanks for all for following me!

Ultimate Arkham City Robin Cosplay!

-Gloves and Bracers-

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I bought the gloves from ebay. These are paintball gloves (Empire). They're not expensive and very comfortable.

Then i painted with green spray paint and finish with the silver pen.

That's the result.

So i took my favourite foam (i think i've got a lifetime stock lol)
and i maked the bracers. That was not difficult, it only takes 5 minutes. Behind are fixed with elastic straps.

Thanks to everybody is supporting me!
