Been a while since I started this thread, but here are some updates on my progress.
Captain America
Main Belt
I started work on the main belt using some harness leather. The belts are a little thick right now, so I'm going to be thinning them down a bit on the back side before I dye the top piece and sew the two blanks together. I am using some rubber liner to design the buckle. When that is finished, I will be making a mold of it and casting it out of polyurethane.
Boots
For the boots, I picked up a pair of Magnum Mach 1 tactical boots. These are the exact boots that Cap wears in AOU.
The boots come in 2 different styles, a 5 inch and an 8 inch.
While both boots will work fine, I decided to go with the 5 inch boots for simplicity.
Unfortunately, as awesome as these boots are, they have been discontinued and are a little hard to find in the right sizes for a good price.

Helmet
The attached pictures show my recent work on an AOU helmet for a customer of mine. The helmet is made of polyurethane with some nice faux leather pieces and nylon webbing for the chin strap.
More still to come soon! STAY TUNED...
