New project underway! This thread will cover the build of a custom concept Bullseye. This version of the character is being based on this design by John Gallagher that was sent to me by the client.
I began the project by working on the mock ups for the upper half of the suit. Based on the measurements sent by the client, I created fitting blocks for the shirt, vest and cowl.
Once I had fitting notes back from the client, I began working up the final patterns and kicked off the build. I decided to begin with the cowl.
The cowl is based on a new design I’ve come up with and I’m testing it on this project as well as a new Batman project. For Bullseye, the cowl will be largely fabric with some stretch areas built in. There will be fabric covered EVA foam details and the face plate will be EVA foam that’s built to integrate to the cowl and include a cast rubber target for the forehead.
I began by taking the mock up apart and laying out the pattern.
The cowl was then pieced together in cordura, jumbo spandex, eva foam and faux leather.
I then finalized the face plate pattern and cut it from 6mm EVA foam. I cut the detail lines into the foam and heat formed the piece to fit with the cowl.
Here’s the face plate pinned to the cowl. It will be sealed, coated with Plasti-Dip and painted before being attached to the cowl.
In the meantime, Jordan has been working on the models and printing for the shoulder armor (based on templates from the Mar-vell build) and the forehead target.
Next up, the vest gets underway. Stay tuned!
