1500 USD shipped? Or is there more?
Hey Rider
A friend of mine wants to be able to grab one of these from you. He is serious, but isn't on the forum. Can I send you his email in a PM so you can get in contact?

Rider,
Two quick questions: One, what glue specifically do you recommend for gluing the armor parts (and urethane emblem) on with? I've had a terrible time getting urethane to stay. And secondly, I don't see it mentioned, what's the lead time on these?
Either way, I'm still in, just curious.
As I mentioned in PM, I'm in for one!
Hmmmm. I am not sure why this is being advertised as 'Custom Fit' when the seamstress has to take the custom measurements and set fit it to the buyer? However, still great chainmail work. Second colour is pretty close, but still not a solid pewter. Good stuff!
Hey, i would love to get in, what kind of deposit will you be requiring, thanks
Been out of town, but I'm in!
Yes! I absolutely want one! Please add my name to the list. Thank you!
1) Anyone know how stretchy the silver suit will be? It appears the chainmail suit is pretty stretchy based on some of the videos Masked Rider has shown, was wondering if the same was true for the silver suit or does that make it less stretchy?
2) What are the best kind of shoes to use for this..Any good resources on how to get a shoe in there properly?
3) For those that plan on using muscle suits underneath, are you going to place it underneath the silver suit or is the muscle suit going to be your silver suit
4) Anybody know if there are alternate ways of putting the body armor on other than glue?
5) Some of us will have to cut the armor pieces to fit right. I guess this will be an unknown on proper areas to cut off until some of us actually try this... any thoughts on this?
Hmm...... i think its better to post this to the run thread ...![]()
Anyway , ill try my best to show u and answer all your question as well .
My silver Undersuit is a 4 way stretch and its very stretchy , about same as lycra . But the material that i choose is quite thick as well due to the quality of the layer of shinny silver surface . I have another silver suit material which more thinner than this , but after stretch alot , it will damage the silver surface layer . So i rather choose this thick one . Also when it sewn together with the blue chainmail suit , both material combined and become more durable and quality suits .
About the shoe . I sewn zip at both side of the boots , and the foots area sewn it like shoe shape , so that allow me to insert the shoe inside than glue a layer of out sole . Here are the shoe that i will choose to put inside : First pics was the shoe that used on the Spiderman movie suit . 2nd and 3rd pic , shoes that i found online . Its men casual wear shoe .

The better way is to glue the armor pieces direct to the suit , some parts may work with Velcro , but im afraid it will not look that good as my armor parts not as thin layer and soft as urethane . So it depends on body height and size , so with correct adjustment on the wearer's body to glue down , it will look as perfect . Some pics of my slim and short mannequin to display this suit . This mannequin was less than 6 foot . My buddy created all the armor parts based on a 6' tall of mannequin body . Which means my armor parts shall fit from 6' and above by just connecting all pieces together . So for the person body less than 6 foot , same as my mannequin display height . Some parts need to re adjust or just trim off some parts and re connect it . Here are some pics , as u can see the waist armor i d idnt connect it to the place , but adjust it abit higher . Also u can see the belt buckle , i may need to trim it and place it higher .

Hope this pics helps my bad explanation , as im really not good in explain :cry
Pls feel free to share your comments guys .........
I'm interested in a variation of some sorts, sent you a PM!
Leslee,
Any thoughts on how you are going to do the silver part of the suit, yet? Is it simply going to be silver lycra with no black effects or musculature? Curious because I would want to achieve something similar to the actual suit effect (i.e. getting rid of the dreaded lycra "blur"). No reason my physique can't be where Cavill was by end of the summer, but the undersuit was built to enhance his muscles and create the effect of actually having them (and those awesome arm veins) under the lycra and glissnet. In that case, it might be better not to have the silver suit attached....?
Still thinking this through. Oh, and some of us might desire a slight height enhancement (I'm about an inch short), so the option to have some heel on the sole would be nice. And I might use slight lifts. If you look at pics closely, it looks like they might have used them in the movie, too.![]()
