The first comic book I ever bought was Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying. I have been a Batman ever since. Thirteen years ago, a co-worker made a Storm Trooper costume and let me borrow it for a weekend...I wanted to make one, but I put it off. The concept of building my own costume was so interesting. About 3 years ago, I saw these awesome Batman costumes that were handmade and told my wife...I will do that. I downloaded but did nothing with the files. Last year I challenged a friend, who is a big Iron-Man fan, to make his costume and I'll make mine. RPF has been a huge help to both of us. I'm approaching my Batman Costume from a pepakura standpoint. I've learned several lessons, for instance, my Cowl was just a tad too small, so I'm modifying it as creatively as I can, I am moving the Baleish chinstrap (a more rounded exposure of the chin) and going back to a more Westish chinstrap (more squared exposure of the chin).
So far, I've got the cowl papercrafted, the neck, and a third of the chest armor.
Huge thanks to this website and all those who have contributed in someway to the knowledge I have accrued along the way!
(I tried to add other tags, but since I'm new, it said no.)
