Hey all, Did a long forum search, and some great pictures on USO builds, but not a lot in terms of patterns or templates. Any thoughts here? Fabric is fine, I already have some ideas, but really would like to try and do that version, and do it right. Thanks!

Will be there, and bringing AoU Cap, and if I can finish it, a Halo Mark VI Gen 1 suit...

Glory - it was a great movie, and Matthew Broderick's young officer really made me think about the ideas of duty, honor and integrity. Star Trek II:TWK - First movie that ever had me tear up in the theatre. Shatner and Nimoy just hit a home run with Spock's sacrifice and the aftermath

Viggo Mortensen as Aragon Sir Anthony as Odin Both brought the characters perfectly to life...

Over at Facebook people are going ballistic....too bad ReedPop isn't taking a page from the other major cons and using a bit of common sense with their rules.

Re: Spider-man suit assembly/detailing services "we can puffy paint your suit!" Now O Hehe, yeah, it's a bit laborious. I'm less in need of the painting and more regarding the shoes, since the suit I have has just the lycra/spandex feet, but no soles. And also, any thoughts on the trim...

Re: Spider-man suit assembly/detailing services "we can puffy paint your suit!" Now O Just wondering if you've worked on Man of Steel suits before? I have one that has detail, but needs shoes, and maybe suggestions on improving the wrist and body molding/trim. Thanks!

Does anyone have experience with some of the cosplay house superman suits out there? I did a search and didn't see much about them, just a lot of great custom builds, which I do not have the skills for right now. I know a couple members do official production runs here, but if I drop 1200 on a...

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but wondering how you attached your arm straps? I'm having to build a foam shield for NYCC (no metal allowed) and it's awesome to see how you solved the curve problem. That was keeping me up at night, since a flat shield just won't look great. Also, did you...

Thursday through Sunday, after an hour and twenty minute wait. SDCC was so much easier, once you actually got into the ticket system. NYCC could take a LOT of lessons from how they've been doing it. While I was in the waiting room, I popped over to eBay and there were already people posting...

Damn, makes me want to cry....after two years of going as Captain America, I didn't get passes this year. Argh!!! If someone were to come up with a pass *legally*, I'd work those booths and have a blast doing so....

Oh, so many years later, I think Binary Sunset pretty much takes the cake.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1937VEYguI

Oddly, this scene from the original Fright Night, one of the heroes digs deep and finds faith: And although not technically a hero, the final assault run of the Battlestar Pegasus in "Exodus"...

The super cool "running knee slide under the car/sword/punch/object" that shows up constantly in fight scenes. Really? Really?!? Did someone Crisco the floor where the fight was going to happen, so it's a near friction-less surface?

Here's a couple, and at least two are pseudo Marvel approved!
