that is awesome start! what fabric did you go with?

 

[steamshovel]

I did the blue canvas. There is also a cheaper way to do it by using a pp non woven fabric. Same colors but cheaper and a bit thinner. Also, won't unravel because theres so actual fabric.

Very nice. How wide are your abdominal straps?

 

[steamshovel]

1 1/2" but should be closer to 1 1/4" to be completely accurate. I went with wider since I'm 6'4" and taller, so everything needs to just be that % larger cause Chris Evans is only 5'11"-6'.

Thank you. Good point about the scaling. At 5'8", I guess I should entertain 1" straps for mine (maybe?).

Uploading this from my phone. Hope it works! I started the back panel today! Measurements aren't perfect but they are what I have to work with, professional guessing...

Looks like some vintage blue prints you got there, nice work bud.

Stuck inside for the snowstorm today. Getting a few more pieces worked on before calling it a night and memorizing lines! Oh, and drinks with friends in midtown. Anyone wanna join?!

That's coming along great. Makes me almost wish I had snow days in Florida so that I could get some costuming done. Well, almost.

Little bit of snow and look at you go!
Hope there is a blizzard this weekend and the suit would be done by Monday.

Here is the next step for the gloves. A bit of hit and miss, stabbing in the dark, etc. Next, the buckle-thing and the holes! Also, a bit of hand-sewing with the fingers palm-side. They actually look better in person than in the pics!

These gloves look sweet!

Working on the small pieces for the front. Goin to start on sewing it all together. Then the arms possibly?

Thanks, they are far less daunting than I thought they would be when I started them. I'll finish them tonight then start on the bodysuit. It's an odd little outfit, isn't it?

Cool-the hard part is gonna be all the silver bits-possibly rubber?

Possibly! I will see what I can find before I started making them myself. It's going to be harder than sewing, that's for sure!

Do we know if anyone is planning on making the small SHIELD patch from the right shoulder? It looks like its rubber/PVC.

I'm gonna try

 

[TK6895]

Brilliant! I wish I had the skills for that. Of course, while you're at it, you can always practice making the flag for the left shoulder as well. ;-)
