@xEVANSx where did you get the gauntlets and other soft parts?

Frightful Acts (http://www.frightfulacts.com/ordering.php). I tweaked them a little bit to get the look that I'm going after... But he provides a pretty good product.

Finished the lower part of the boots. The uppers are currently being sewn again, but I'll be adding the chainmail pattern to them as well.



Stay tuned...

Quick question, what material is the blue upper suit?

Quick question, what material is the blue upper suit?

Tough to say... But I believe it's 100% polyester spandex. It's thin enough that it becomes semi-transparent when I have it on. Hope this helps!

That works, thank you

I am totally loving this costume so far! You are doing a great job and you absolutely resemble Henry in the costume! What material did you pick for the cape?

Thanks for the words of encouragement! It's taking longer than I expected, but it'll be worth it once it's done. I picked a red velveteen for the cape. I'm not crazy about the velvet texture on the one side, but the other side is perfect. I'm still working through the issue of how to finalize the cape, but I'll post it up once I'm done.

Last question, what type of paint did you use for the chrome?

 

[dust]

Wonder Woman's chrome was a fabric we found at joann fabrics, no paint. It was ironed to an interface and sewn around the edges.

Sorry dude, that question was for Evan
