Attempting wonder woman build

[MissHParker]

Trying to create a wonder woman costume for London film comic con. Giving worbla a try for the first time so pretty exciting. Any advice is always welcome.









Came across two definitive issues of not being able to find something big enough to use as a shaper for breast plate ( so if anyone else had this issue let me know what you got )
Secondly found that I couldn't get the worbla to bend enough. Was like it was a too bigger curve to fit into a piece and therefore bubbled or ripped.
Cheers Hannah

You can patch with worbla. It will melt into the hole where needed

Thanks I'll give it a try. I did try melting together all my scrap pieces with some success but think I need more pressure to get them to bleed together better. With a grill and rolling pin and much arm strength as I can do I can still sort of see joining lines.

Added foam to the back of the worbla so my clumsiness is less of an issue too.

Ok so basically cause I'm not the smoothest I had to filler over my worbla as I'd used bits and pieces but I think that the filler strengthen it ( hindsight I used way to much ) and then set about sanding it down with sandpaper. This will take forever and alot of arm strength. But am trying to go down to a very smooth finish. Though will be probably hoping it looks worn and lived in. . As it's armour. I am going to do a white cape so am not going to make the worbla go all the way round my bust and will instead be buckling behind my back.

Put some black on as a background and to prime the colour. Will add some shadow to it for depth. The metalic colour is picking up other things in my living room, so does look bumper then it is. ( is bumpy tho slightly ) it's battle armour I figure I'll get better

 

[MissHParker]

Not sure if anyone is really paying attention to this thread but anyways


Ok so I added some black round the edges of the bird symbol to try create some depth. Really loving liquitex basics paints right now.
And then moved on to more exciting ventures of attempted sword making
For the sword I first designed it on mount board then added a wooden core to add some strength and will soon covet with expanding foam and give it a carve. Wish me luck. Thanks

You're making good progress. The world can always use another Wonder Woman! I grew up on the Linda Carter series; I can't wait to see her in the new movie.

 

[MissHParker]

Thanks. And I know should be exciting seeing a new version, I'm hoping for more Wonder Woman than Batman or Superman really.

Sorry I haven't posted recently
Ok so last you had seen I had mount boarded a sword.

Now it's covered in expanding foam. Which was crazy fun but I feel like I shouldve tried to make too as there was just so much left that I could have made an army's worth of weapons with the left over can.


Also just working on worbla belt which might still get slimmed down or built up later on.
I'll try be between with posting peeps

that's cool. I love the top costume. You can buy a good one that's pretty cool at http://www.halloweencostumes.com/anime-wonder-woman-costume.html.
I'd love to be able to pull of the panel down the middle but alas at 24 I'm still hoping for a puberty spurt from somewhere and i know that i would look short and not graceful or .. step on it. he he. And honestly I'd be scared to flash someone walking round london. I'll keep an eye out on your page though to see if a braver wonder woman appears. Loving your Grodd though

She wants to go with the bottom New Armor style because of the weather here in the fall when she will be wearing it is colder. Plus she is also scared of "popping out" by accident as well. I will probably use the idea from the Ame Comi style skirt though. Its cool.

The popping out fear is why I don't think I'll make my own corset out of foam. I've seen it done and it's cool but not sure I trust my making that much.
Is your wife going to have a tiara as that's the bit I can't decide if I really like and if it will be that comfy?

Yes she will. She has Alopecia Areata so she is use to wearing wigs and the such that hug her head.

Oh how awful. I use to have longer hair and lost some of mine and cut it shorter from like mid back to 20 inches. So I can see it can be awful though I was luck with regrowth. When the tiara gets started I'd love to see how you do it. Is she going to be wonder woman when your being Grodd?

She has had it for over 20 years. She has accepted it. But yes grodd and WW. We also have a super girl and flash with us. I have to measure her soon to start the process.

Wow those are going to be some cool photos I bet. And it's been cool having this little chat. I'm gonna really look forward to seeing your build.

Ok so bits and pieces are painted. Done some bracers.. they are just horse riding Greece sprayed gold at the moment. I might add more detail later on.
