    Into the Badlands, Sunny's coat help

    I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to make this coat from season 2 of into the badlands, what a good fabric would be but, specifically all those ridges.

    SPOILER ALERT! X Men DoFP Oakley glasses

    This is definitely going on my "to make" list. Though I'll probably use some knock offs. I wouldnt be willling to risk modding originals personally for the price. Anyone else notice in those sceen caps that the smallest line in the bottom corner of the lens seems to be missing?

    1950's "Greaser" Batman, leather work help.

    Hey! I'm sorry I haven't updated this. My computer died and I kind of just forgot about it. I wish I had that link before, It looks great and I love the different take on it.

    1950's "Greaser" Batman, leather work help.

    1950's "Greaser" Batman, leather work help.

    What do you mean sculpt it? You mean a form to pull the leather over? I was working on that, it seems the best way. I was hoping to do it from a single piece and looked up the Daredevil movie mask to see how they did it.. then realized they had seams all over the back. I'm guessing i'll have to...

    A lot of you have probably seen the 1950's greaser/rockabilly reimagination of batman by Denis Medri. (see attached if not) And I would love to give this a try for a convention next month. The problem is that I would love to do the mask and belt from leather and I've never worked with it. I...
