/temporary Edit for the halloween contest:
I created this costume over 6 months, from foam and random materials.
The helmet i made using the 3d model from the game rip, and i used paper mache and paper mache clay to get the perfect shape
all of the costume was budgeted, so it didnt cost more than 100 bucks
Weapons were created with wood and plastic piping. the metal effect was done by using aluminium tape
This was my first costume where i made everything myself including patterns. to get everything to be sized correctly and proportionally to everything else was a challenge.
I also had to handsew all the pouches because i didnt like any available pouches. first venture into sewing
This was a labour of love for the character, getting as close as possible to the reference art. more info on progress and pictures can be found throughout the thread, proof pic in last post

so, im planning on doing this costume as one of 3 for a con in august. now, im aware lots of people have made this helmet, but everyone ive seen has made it as a 2 part helmet, with straps in between.
now after some research, this might be "off"
ok, so lets have some pics:
Here you can see what most people have made so far, assuming theres a head band or similar inbetween the plates, and the helmet connected by plates.
at this point its allready very much visible, that theres no cloth inbetween there, cause it is very much structured.
Now, if we look deeper into the game itself, in the Deathstroke Bossfight, Batman hits Deathstroke in the head, knocking his helmet off. It comes clean off as one piece, and leaves a neck seal:
now this leaves me with the conclusion, that this is acutally a 3 part helmet, where the straps only serve the purpose of keeping the connection plate in place.
it might also be possible, that the back and connection plate are in one piece, and the straps make it adjustable to put on.
in any way, the fabric end parts are only there for effect, and tied directly to the back plate.
does anyone have any more insight into this?
cheers
