Hi there!
I wanted to start my Arkham Knight Build thread.
Goals: I want a more comfortable costume compared to some of my previous costumes, yet also be close to game accurate with some custom variation.
I want something I can easily wear to a convention solo, move around, sit, handle my phone/money/keys and not be hindered by a costume. We will see how well I can accomplish this
Game accuracy is a goal, but with a twist. I don't particularly like the color variation of the in game images. People think you're some kind of Captain America (because of the white 'A' on the chest). I'll keep the blue, grays and blacks, but throwing out the red and possibly white. I want a more 'stealth' look to this character.
First, I'm starting with the helmet.
This is a game rip of the Arkham knight model that I found in a facebook group I'm in. This is originally what drew me in to the character. I love this helmet design.
I spent several days editing this file for 3D printing. It was really difficult to fix, but I was able to accomplish it relatively well.
I've shared this model on Thingiverse if you'd like one yourself: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1773465
Its scaled for an exact 22" head. If you've got big ears or your head is even a smidge larger, you'll want to resize this. This fits my head like a glove.
I'm printing the last piece now, it has a few hours left, then the real work begins!
