Hey Guys. This is my first thread on this amazing site as well as my first build and I'm looking for some input from others
I am conflicted between 2 designs that I have in mind for this suit but both ideas involve the same armor that I will be making from EVA foam. I may even just make both as I can just swap the armor over.
1. My first idea has the armor on top of loose grey or black fabrics for a basic sort of poor man's batman look. It includes a batman begins style cowl, a high-collared cape, black tactical type pants with black industrial boots, and some straps and a harness to give a tactical-type look.
2. My second idea is my take on the batman beyond suit. This suit will have the armor on top of a wetsuit. There will be no cape and I'm going to attempt to make a latex mask based on a redesign by Mark Vick. The shoes will be wetsuit booties.
So far I have made one gauntlet and am working on the chest piece while I wait for my things to arrive for making my masks. I'm haven't designed any armor for the lower half yet but will have something soon. I've also attached a drawing that shows both ideas. The left half is idea 1 and the right is idea 2.
So what do you think guys? Which idea do you like more and what do you think I could do to improve the plan?
