Avengers new costumes revealed in teaser poster

[Tigerblood]

looks like they just used that Oakley boot and recasted the soles. That will be the convenient way to do it. Smooth-On is a grace from God ya'know?

 

[GBrittelleJr]

I wish we could just recast them. I wonder what the return policy is for those boots...

You can. Go to the junkyard to see if there's some interest on recasted soles. I'm sure selling 5 pairs of them (I think size 11 should be universal) for $60 each should even you out.

But I'd check if recasting this sole is against RPF's "recasting policies" first before jumping on that.


Just saw this.
$19.99 used size 11.

kinda makes me wonder if the glove base is a real glove they just built onto, like the boot


also, from the looks of the side of the boots, it looks like there is a bump about where the actual top of the boot would end....

I like the new costume, especially the new helmet/cowl. I was wondering if anyone had any better pics of the cowl from the front? I'm working on a pep model of the new helmet and need better reference pics. This is what I got so far.

wow fast! looks promising

I also like the new cap helmet :thumbsup Can't wait to it soon on movie :love

Yeah, the boots aren't dead-on perfect match, with the eyelets being very different. But the soles are the thing. For that price, I'd MUCH prefer being able to wear them everyday! :cool But, in our pursuit of our hobby...

I'm wondering about the extra black part above the toes- for workboots, you can get this brush on stuff that essantially adds extra reinforcing to your boot toe. Perhaps this stuff could work for this as well? Mask the boot, the brush it on verrrry lightly...

Molding the sole and casting it, then having it what, grafted onto another boot with shoe goo or having a shoe maker do it?

For me, I wear size 13 boats, by the time I would buy the material, cast it, so on and so on, I don't know how much of a cost savings there would be. (for me) Aside from the obvious bonus of having the ability to wear the $185 boot all the time!

Hmmm...that would be cool... Anybody want to cast up soles for me? For $$?

:love

 

[GBrittelleJr]

I was just thinking of getting the shoe, and getting a custom, accurate upper grafted onto the shoe by a professional. It'll be super expensive, but in the persuit of accuracy... Ugh lol

 

[GBrittelleJr]

I keep looking, and the fabric looks light, like a spandex. At least on the cowl/helmet. So to keep the same look, I could only assume the rest of the costume is made from the same. I really want this fabric to be identified, so we can get cracking on replicating it.

 

[LOGANCLAW22]

I found some spandex/lycra fabric at Jo Anns fabric that has a similar cross-hatch pattern but not as defined. After looking at the helmet/jaw area fabric, that def looks screenprinted while the rest of the costume fabric looks textured. You can see by the comparison of both fabrics next to one another on the Jaw to neck area in the hi res pics. I know that there are differing opinions but just my 2 cents.

yeah, I know that brush on stuff you are reffering too, I was thinking the same thing. they sell it at homedepot for grip surfaces and such. Should work well. My thoughts were to just add ontop of the existing boot. Adding the two vertical red section properly, and you would also add the new eyelets at the same time, shouldn't be too hard. Though I probably won't actually sew mine, just make it look sewn.

Are you referring to gluing everything on your boots?

 

[Chris Fields]

Yep, that's how most actual boots are made.

 

[GBrittelleJr]

Fair enough. As you can probably tell, cobbling isn't my forte. I just assumed the high tension parts of the boots would be sewn.

 

[Chris Fields]

I've learned from taking apart many boots, that a lot of the sewing is cosmetic.

 

[GBrittelleJr]

So shoe goo is the way to go? Or Barge's cement? Is that stuff strong enough to make wearable boots?

 

[Tigerblood]

I'd just use an Alpinestars touring boots and use red Duplicolor Vinyl paint on it if I'll ever take this project on.

 

[imnotahero]

They just released a teaser for the teaser. lol. New Cap pic yay!

Those things are quite uncomfortable aren't they?

shoe goo is good, e6000 is good, contact cement is what I prefer (just because it's faster)

Here are a couple of closer pics of Cap's cowl I found.
