Avengers Movie Captain America Project

Thanks guys. I'm planning to work on the jacket over the next few days, so hopefully will have something to show in a couple weeks at most. The fabric I've been using is a type of jersey I found. It comes in primary colours, so I'm having to hand-dye the second shade of blue.

Got my shield brackets from Valor and am in the process of attaching them and adding the straps.
 
I'm really trying to convince myself that I don't need to build this costume. I'm not really even a Cap fan anyway, but this is just ridiculously awesome!! Great job. I can't wait to see the finished product.
 
I have been following this without signing up and I cannot be more excited to see how it turns out
Need to learn how to start doing this kind of thing
 
Thanks for the kind words guys. I saw the movie last night in London, and was so pumped, I've been spending all day working on the jacket..... it's coming together pretty nicely. I'll try to upload some new pics within the next 48 hours.
 
Just had a proper look through this thread, the progress on this is AMAZING. I'm so amazed by what you've done here!
And you told me you were going to update this soon *taps foot* I'm waiting :p
But seriously, this looks so incredible, I hope I get to see it in person at some point!
 
As promised .....

Wow, impressive work! Love how the texture on the soft part looks. It just gives the suit a whole new dimension!

looking fabulous!

On the padded fabric pieces (like along the abdomen area)... how do you do that? Is it just sandwiching something like foam in-between two parts of fabric and stitching around them? I've always wondered how they do that. I do a fair amount of sewing, but I've never tried to do this sort of thing.

Goodluck with your suit, it's looking awesome!
