I know there have been a few Red Skull costumes popping up over the last few weeks, well here's another one.
First off I'm able to get/make a high quality mask unfortunately at this time so all I really have to work with is a $20 mask, its not bat and I may be able to add to it if I'm careful.
I'm going to make up for it with the uniform. I am going for the German Allgemeine SS m32 uniform and based on this Red Skull statue here, https://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=72031&ref=search&72031.
For the jacket I bought from The Sportsmans Guide 10 post war Swiss dress jackets. The Swiss have a tendency to copy German WWII design a lot, but thats another story. These jackets are very similar, the biggest difference being the buttons. Unfortunately these are back ordered to late September to early October.
I did the same with the pants, they are also Swiss (M7 dress pants). All I have to do with these is to tighten/tie the bottom of one pair to make them look like breeches. These are also back ordered but for only about 2 weeks.
For the hat I won on eBay 5 East German border guard visor caps. The East Germans kept their uniforms strikingly similar to the WWII uniforms. The only conversion I have to do is to bend down the sides and bend up the top, that and move a few pins around. Pics to come soon.
For all of these cloths I have to dye them black which shouldn't be to hard to do.
All I really need now are some Jack boots/riding boots in about size 12 or 13 which is a bit hard to get in that size.
I need to patch up the final product with some ribbons, awards, patches and ranks, which are still in the works of finding.
As for the cosmic cube I got a LED mood cube and am going to put it in one of those plastic cubes, add some plastic rap and work with it a bit.
Again more pics to come as the items do.
