Hey , thank you! its been a fun few months on this one
Thanks ! there are 2 different sets. I made a second set after a few pics were released of them retracted.

One set for hands free (retracted), one set full on power gauntlet for punching.
on the retracted ones the handle does flip up, but too much work to make the puncher expand and retract.
I did have the idea to make a sequence of pics in the same pose with the handle rotating up and then change to the full gauntlets for the finished one, but we were in a time crunch, so all we got was this.

Thanks a bunch George.
i might try that at a later time but I am good with just changing them out for now. just have to carry an extra set around.
I think its doable ,however I am not sure how the puncher head would work. its smaller in the retracted pictures than it is with the puncher extended over the hand.
I think it would be too big when its sitting on the wrists. the punching head on the retracted ones I made are considerably smaller than the other set and they still look big to me.
so more than likely not., ha

What camo style did you use for the pants and did you dye them?
Most folks seem to use tiger stripe, but the pants in the movie look custom to me. I couldn't find BDU's that fit and I didn't have time to buy too large and then alter them.
I had some wrangler camo pants from target and they seem to be close enough (but don't have any brown in them). That's what I used,
I didn't dye them.
I might revisit the BDU's if I can find a deal and get in the sewing mood...

I hope you don't mind me asking, but how much did the print cost? I'm cosplaying as Crossbones but on a budget.

That is awesome! I'm hoping to build my own power gauntlets for Halloween... how much would you say it cost to build them and how much time did you spend on them? They look badass!
Thanks!
Gauntlets took about a week to week and a half working on them here and there. I would say about 15-20 hours. I made one then the other... if I did it again I would just double everything while I was doing it the first time.
Cost I used cheep craft foam sheets from hobby lobby. so maybe 10 bucks in foam. $5 - 10 total in pvc/wood, bottle contact cement 5 bucks, couple bucks on screws and can 1 can of plastidip and one can of paint.
on the helmet:
I have 2 at this point. the original I purchased the file for $15 and looked on the classifieds on the forum and a member there printed and shipped to me.
the other was purchased off ETSY and was customized to my size for 85 plus$20 shipping. it was from oversees and took a bit to get here but I like it better.
both were similar in cost.I like the customized one on the right a little better
hope this helps

I've never had very good luck with 3D printing, plus I personally don't want to spend $100 or so on a helmet. But I did find this papercraft file: https://www.etsy.com/listing/250006...captain-america-civil?ref=shop_home_active_29 that looks pretty good for foam. And I think it might be by the same seller who did the 3D printing file you used.
yep that's the same seller. it will look a lot like mine on the left in the pic. good luck

So how exactly is the top of the back plate attached to the front? I haven't quite figured that out yet...
And also, with the front mag pouches, where exactly are they attached? Are they fastened behind the main chest plate or something?
The back plate attaches with buckles to the front at the top of the shoulders , it attaches to the molle vest in the middle with buckles, and then an elastic strap that velcros it to the bottom of the molle vest. you can see all three attachments in the pic.
on the mags I just wrapped it around the front armor plate and velcro'ed it in the back.
