Batman Begins Scarecrow

[ses0713]

This will be my first cosplay that I am building...I know that scarecrow from Arkham is more detailed and kick *****, but I want to make it the best and easiest with my limit skills.

Best place for screen grabs?
Any tips, tricks, things you wish you knew as a n00b?

Sounds awesome and I found 'movie-screen caps' very helpful (link below to the Batman begins site below)

(and there are quite a lot of pages so, yep?)

- Hope This helps

I also have these images from both the movie and conventions (Comic-Con)

Thank you so much, greatly appreciated. Time to get to work

Might I suggest lining the burlap (if you go with burlap)? It will be itchy as hell otherwise. Also using a lovely product called Fray Check on your edges will help prevent it fraying to the point of falling apart. I used it on the cloak on my Arkham Knight Scarecrow which I frayed to death but the frays never go further than where I put the Fray Check, so it works great. Might be worth checking out (pun unintended)

What do you recommend or how do I line the burlap

Basically whatever shape of fabric you cut out for the burlap, make an exact replica in whatever fabric you line it with (anything cotton is good. muslin is cheap and very breathable.). You'll essentially be making 2 masks, except the one that is made out of the lining you'll have with your seams facing outwards (against the burlap). That way you have the smooth cotton side on your face rather than the burlap. This explains it better than I can I think
