anybody has a specific vendor they deal with when buying plastics because I am new to that area and im not sure wheres the good deals at?

 

[sgtfury4017]

I'm diggin this. Love the idea and how its coming together! Will be watching.....

 

[tigerguy72]

hey guys just an update to keep yall on track. I've been busy with school since that started up but soon I will by some Worbla thermoplastic to start construction of my armor!!!!!!!! So yea!!!!!!! Updates when they come up

 

[tigerguy72]

well ladies and gentlemen i have purchased my materials and they came in this past saturday and I've got some progress. i have made the shoulder parts

this plastic is new to me so its a learn as i go deal.

i should be moving on to the rest of the suit soon, but alas i have a feeling that imma scrap the sword and just use my flail and shield, which needs to be completed.

Very cool progress, I really like the whole idea.

I presume you're dropping the sword because of the amount of work to build a second full-sized weapon, and also carry it around in costume. Maybe you could rework the design into a long knife, so it becomes a supplemental side arm for a knight.

 

[tigerguy72]

Well at first I wanted to make a flail, shield, sword, and dagger ,but I ran into some time issues plus to carry it all. Also I might as well reveal it now that I will be fabricating a whole group of these for some friends of mine. Not just I will be Green Lantern but I will have Flash, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and a Blue Beetle

 

[tigerguy72]

Just to keep people up to date I'm still working on this havent given it up yet. So far i have now completed my arm bracer and my shin armor and a chest piece that i will light up.

How are you doing that emblem. I had tried to figure it out for my Casey Jones Green Lantern, but just ended up going with green reflective tape

 

[tigerguy72]

Progress has been made! I have painted fully now 6 pieces total and working on making more for the costume. I do need to buy a black morphsuit

@Blueman my emblem is a circular jewelry mold that I will put some green EL wire in it to light it up.

This is an awesome costume. Green Lantern is my Fav. superhero and I plan on making a rendition of one of them as well. What kind of plastic is that and where did you get it?

 

[tigerguy72]

rasendori04 its worlba and it can be found several places on the internet

i LOVE the fist on the mace haha perfect translation!

 

[tigerguy72]

Thanks to everyone with the words of encouragement but for the time being I will put this on hold as I need to complete some works for my friends in my costuming group first then finish mines out.
if anybody would like to see the W.I.P let me know and I will put up a new thread for it

 

[Kirkysworld]
