Looking good man, I hope the HA:uk did their job right and mentioned you and your GF signing up......we're always looking for more volunteers....:)

Glad the mask worked out ok for you, and the helmet looks awesome
 
cheers dude, the mask is awesome. I've signed up on the Heroes Alliance UK site, just waiting for confirmation, we both had our photo's done at the stall, red Robin escorted us there:) it was fun and I was surprised at the attention you get from artists and fans, there's no hierarchy. Would love to be involved more. Looking forward to Midlands Expo Comic-Con in Feb 2012.
Thanks for the comments too, appreciate it
 
thank you, recieved alot of good feedback, it will be even better for Feb 2012 Midlands Comic-Con Expo. Did you go cosplay? There were loads of awesome costumes.
 
In the future you can spray a really fine mist of black paint on the helmet then sand. You will see where any low spots are as the black paint is sanded off. Then fill these areas with bondo if you can't sand them out.

cheers for the tip dude, will try it.
 
Next step list
1)cut pep for version 2 Red Hood by BlackKaos, glue, resin etc.
2) adjust templates to make it in Selitac Aqua Underlay foam version too.
3) Unstitch pocket on trousers
4)redoo the knife so the hooked end of handle is the right way round.
5)find someone/company who would cut some sheet metal using templates for the leg plate and boot/glove plates and my girlfriends Catwoman buckle.
6)Ask girlfriend nicely to customise the jacket collar to more of the look in the animation.
7) purchase 2 more sets of mirrored lenses and aluminium mesh from autoparts store.
8) May add more silver drybrushing to guns.
 
Updates finally, life's been a bit busy, work etc. Here are new boot plates made out of steel . Plates have been polished and attachments for laces to go through to keep them snug to boots. New leg plate is currently in progress. Hope you guys approve. Updating costume for Kapow London 2012 May 20th

I'm in process of making Blackkaos Red Hood version 2, plus customising the jacket to look more like the anime jacket. I have a green latex eyemask which I willpost pics soon and white contacts. Bazooka or AK47? Girlfriend bought me a AK47 pep kit off Amazon, very cool
 
Hmmm, I'd say Bazooka, you're suit is coming along smashingly. if you get the bazooka you can wave when you point it at people :D

I'm still pretty sad I have all the stuff to do the original comic version, even the knife and guns, only thing I'm missing is the helmet cause I can't make it here, I'm not allowed to use bondo or fiberglass resin at the house cause my dad hates the smell and the mess, he wont even let me use it out on the lawn and I can't sculpt at all.
 
That sucks dude, the pep files are awesome, I guess I should be thankful for having my own garage, girlfriend just thinks its cute when I get my geek on making costume stuff.
 
My girlfriend loves this, it's my old man who I have to live with cause without me him and my mother couldn't survive.
 
Did a contact lense test, these are white mesh contacts, bit freeky but I'm going one more step towards the anime look. Laban at 4thWall Design made the green Robin/Jason Todd mask, love it. Check out his work its EPIC.
