Blue Beetle *WIP*

[Durkness]

This is intense! I love it! Will definitely follow this thread

Hopefully it turns out good....

Think I've found your next costume when you finish this one Durk I'll start whispering into your ear until you break soon!

Do tell!

I look forward to seeing your blue beetle completed. great build so far.

Me too.... I don't have a deadline for it so hopefully I don't get sidetracked.

I've been waiting for someone to do this suit. Keep it up!

Thanks!

Finished the front legs for going over the shoulders. They had to be a smudge longer since they will be going over the armor too.

If it wasn't for the honey do list I have I was hoping to get the antenna's done...but with a weekend that has a lot of the kids baseball practice, working on the Iron Patriot paint, and well...it being the weekend cheers), I don't know if I'll get to it.

So...here is some giant facehugger/tick/beetle pics. I had a picture of the full back but it's not uploading.... fail.

I felt the same way.... I think I saw a total of four people that have made some type of Beetle costume googling it.

Thanks! You have a mad looking foam suit yourself!

You still freehanding the scarab or some of this coming off templates now? looking legit man...

 

[Durkness]

Yeah.... scarab is still freehanded templates... it's the only part that I have to do that on.

Thanks Durkness. I had seen that thread a while ago but it didn't have as many files as it does now.

Looking good! Are you going to make like armor sections? Kinda of like the guyver suit in a sense also or like the new young justice suit?

I would love to be able to do the full suit....but, what will come of it is probably the shoulders, chest, thighs, shins, and feet of an Iron Man suit.

I am still debating how much I want to make of it....like the cannon?

 

[guitARTo]

You should definitely do the hand cannon. Looking great thus far. I love me some DCU builds.

 

[Reacher]

Apparently blue beetle will be making an appearance in this season of “Arrow”!

bah... lol. I get sidetracked easily. Guess I will start that after the scarab is done.

Bout time! Ive been waiting for a superhero with actual powers to be on there. I'm thinking I should get stranded for a while and become elite.

It's hard for me to wait...I like doing the fun stuff.....

Damn bro, don't you ever take a break!!

This coming from the man working on his DLC Krieg mask.....................

 

[Durkness]

I can't wait to get this strapped down....I put a hanger in between the pieces for a little more support. One thing I didn't think of was how I am going to ship the scarab..... I should have left it apart and just had a hole for attachment to the antennas. :facepalm

 

[Friko]

Love it! So what are you building the legs and antennas out of?

 

[Durkness]

Love it! So what are you building the legs and antennas out of?

The entire scarab is out of Harbor Freight floor mats....legs and all, 1/2" foam.

 

[muttmo]

[AbsoluteZero300]

[Durkness]
