By the way, I won both costume contests I went in this year. Most creative costume from my friends after they saw my progress of what it took to create that helmet. At the bar they just said "if you won the superhero costume contest, come claim your prize" and apparently i was just supposed to...

Here's a few more pics of my cap costume. Took a couple with my daughter in the Supergirl costume I bought her. I took the red vinyl gloves that I bought for my Cap costume and turned them into boots for my Superbaby. I didn't like the way they fit, so I used different ones. It was my first...

Here's a few pics of the whole costume. Sorry about the low res, I'll have better ones soon. Wow does the camera add 10 lbs :unsure And one with the mask I bought off ebay:

I definately should have used some sort of filler putty. I went from bondo to a spray filler primer.What product do you use to fill divets and what not after bondo? I also see why you use spray adhesive and fibreglss cloth. They didn't have spray adhesive in stock when I went to the store and I...

Dude, it was your tutorial I used to make that helmet. Thanks for the inspiration. Guess I should have smoothed it out better before painting, oh well. Maybe I'll touch it up later.

re: ** New Members: Please Introduce Yourselves Here! ** Howdy, Keegano here. I'm a big movie buff and comic geek, put them together and you have uber nerd! I even came up with most of the marvel movie plot lines many years before they came out (well, I guess I predicted them as well as plenty...

Look up pepakura costume building on youtube. You can do it. I just finished my first pep build which is a Captain America helmet. It's not without it's flaws, but at least I know where I went wrong and how to improve on my next project. Maybe I'll even go back and fix this one up after Halloween.

Hmmm, hoped someone would have a comment. Let me guess, it's the brown straps on the jacket? Hope to get some pics of the full suit up in a couple days. By the way, that shield is stainless steel and tough as nails. The handle was welded on the back unfortunately but still cool enough for the...

Here is the jacket, helmet, belt (I guess you can't quite see it in these ones), and shield together. The gloves are out and I'm going with a more "practical" pair. I'll post pics of the whole suit once I can get someone to take them.

The shiney blue is a better idea of the color that it is. The finished helmet pics are the same color, just taken in a different location with a different camera.

Hey, new member here with my Captain America project. Here is the helmet process. I purchased a Cap vinyl mask and thought it looks pretty cool, but I thought I would take a swing at the movie helmet. I have to say, this was a rather ambitious project for a newcomer but I thought it came out ok...
