Hey guys, I’m trying to find a movie looking cowl and armour from Batman: Dark Knight Rises, or at least what materials to use to make one. Any help you would be able to send my way would be very much appreciated. Thanks
 
Hi G,

perhaps there's something useful for you here:


You can use 3D software like Windows10 3D builder to dissect the model into armor parts, and scale and unfold them in Pepakura Designer 4.

Materials and tools:
-6mm EVA foam for regular armor, 2mm for details and small stuff like fingers.
-Box cutter / exacto knife with (self-healing) cutting mat for cutting templates
-heat gun to briefly heat-treat your foam surface with before gluing (closes the cells)
-hot glue gun / contact cement for connecting templates
-Impasto (Acrylic) Gel 1 to plastic / rubber coat your foam with; straight from the package for plastic coating, mix with PVA / white wood glue to keep rubber-like foam quality
-acrylic paint with foundation brush for painting without brush traces

The las two steps enable you to work without chemicals in any environment (credit goes to Cyehra).
I hope this helps you on your way
