Sorry I've been a bit dormant. Shield drama taking up my life. But last night I finished the whole costume, and if I have time I'll add brown leather straps to the back of the shield.
First image is the chipping escalated to the 9th degree. I don't feel like I've seen anyone else have chipping issues with the Duplicolor chrome and the metalcast paints, but I had all kinds of issues. I ended up sanding down to base and starting over. I clear coated it yesterday morning, I'll try to take a finished picture tonight
I had to try on a bunch of the costume to fit the utility belt (you can see it sans pocket) and the boot glue was drying, but you can get the idea. I'm getting my hair trimmed and roots touched wednesday night before we leave for Atlanta!
Now I need to figure out how to make a She-ra sword before thursday morning...

Wow this is so awesome! I've been scouring the internet for a good genderbend captain america and well this one blows the competition out of the water!
I used a white knit pique and dyed it!
Hey I'm new to the site, I have been just finishing up my WWII Saving Bucky female Captain America costume (pictures will be added later in its own thread of mine)
But I would love to make the jacket that you have there. I know that you may want to keep the pattern to yourself, but it would be really helpful for me to make that jacket. ^^

Since that jacket is modeled after the Avengers costume, I'm not it's quite the right fir for what you're doing. But I drafted a princess seamed style pattern as a base to work from. Similar to this, but shortening it adjusting the front flap to be more movie correct. Silk Motorcycle Jacket 03/2012 #115 ? Sewing Patterns | BurdaStyle.com
I hope that helps.
