Captain America The Winter Soldier Costume Build Thread (Stealth Suit)

[Stevef209]

I agree.

Would LOVE to have a pattern for this! Especially that I have never created anything like this OR even cosplayed...but I want to

Amazing work! I'm subscribed. The choice to make a single suit instead of making it in two pieces was a great move in my opinion. It has such a real feeling of authenticity but it is also practical. I'm curious to know how you did the foam inlays for the abs. Considering how's your suit already looks completed (especially the abs lol) I was wondering, if you have the time and do not mind sharing how your abs were created. If you can explain/describe the foam inlay pattern or the sewing best you can, many of us, especially me would greatly appreciate it. I know time is always an issue and everyone has a right to there privacy and techniques so if you can't or don't have the time, that is totally understandable . I'm going to admirer your work a little longer. Thanks in advance!

What's the color of the material you're using for the suit? Looks gray-ish in most of the photos.

Amazing work - definitely subscribed to this one. Really like the custom buckle - nice job! Have you thought about how you are going to tackle the star and stripes for the chest yet?

Fantastic bud!

Looking good bud, perhaps you like the idea of the shield battle damaged?

Some more progress on the suit. Got the stars and stripes done. I'm going round on Monday to test fit the suit so all the small parts can be added around the shape of my body.

 

[HenryTJO11]

I went in today to do a test fit and see what needed tweaking. Only a couple of adjustments in some areas on the suit left to do aswell as get boots and gloves. Everything else is done.

We did some tweaking to the helmet too so it fits more snug on my head.




And here are some body shots of everything done so far.



The back of the shield is being completely re-done so it looks more screen accurate. I will post more details on that once it's all done though.

Nice... Gonna wear it to the premier?

 

[HenryTJO11]

I would love to but I don't live anywhere near London and have no way to afford a hotel or anything. Plus I don't even know when the UK premiere is.....

Find the biggest midnight showing near you and then crash it. midnight showings are great since tons of people line up. ALL of them are eagerly awaiting to see a movie with YOU in it haha. They'd go crazy getting pictures with you.

Whatever you do, make sure you go to SOME kind of premier.

 

[HenryTJO11]

I will definitely be going to the midnight showing at my local cinema. I was thinking of dressing up for it but only if my friend's Bucky WS is finished and he wears his too.

 

[While]

That looks really good! I'm sure you'll get a ticket from the cinema if they know you're showing up like this!

Your Stealth Suit looks awesome Henry! :thumbsup

Here's my contribution to the cause -

That is definitely incredible work - both the patch and the full suit!

Just pointing out to you brandomack, the dots around the eagle look like they might be stars, just something to consider

 

[TK6895]

Going to start my leather parts first - probably tackling the gloves right out of the gate. Found this new photo of the palms of the gloves and thought I should share with the class so to speak.

You can see a little better that they are stars around the outside. It looks amazing man!

Starting to re-do my shield. After doing the test fit for the suit I left my shield with the guy making it (I cry everytime). We're taking apart the wooden-mess I did to the back when I first got the shield and are going to add some new handles and brackets that look more screen accurate. But the first thing that's been done is a rub-and-buff to the front to give it a shiny, metal look. Here's the first stage.



Then going to repaint the red and blue but leave the silver parts as they are. Like with the movie versions.

EDIT: Here's the main part of the painting done. Just got to neaten it and make it shiny.

Can I ask what you used for the star and stripes?

Can I ask what you used for the star and stripes?

They're made of foam and then painted. Stuck on with evostick.
