Ok so,I like most of you love building and making costumes and props. I am a full time musician and father so getting a chance to make my favorite heroes come to life is awesome. And to do it for my kids even more awesome. Awesomer? Anyway, my 7 year old wanted to be stealth Iron Man this year. No problem I did that 2 years ago, so I can just modify what I've already got. Made a new helmet with all the trimmings. Was about to start adding all the cool stuff I didn't know how to do back then. And then my son says Dad, I want to be the red and black Night Wing. Ok cool still got a month till Halloween but now I'm moving us into a new house. My wife says buy something on line. (Boo wife when she's not looking and feel accomplished) So I found a Batman forever 1995 robin costume for kids online. It gets here Tuesday afternoon, 2 and a half days till Halloween. And my son goes,Dad I said the blue and black Night Wing. So this is what I came up with. Please comment and give me some feed back. Always love to know how I can make it look better next time! THANKS!

All parts are from scratch built using EVA foam. Except the gauntlets(dark knight rises toys),the belt (TDK costume belt I painted black) and the escrima sticks(thinks dollar general and I wrapped the ends in carbon decals. Thanks for looking! cheers!
 
Looks great! And I don't think he could have a bigger grin on his face, so it looks like you made a winner!
 
Incredible amount of work and mission accomplished in such a short amount of time. Great job!
 
Thanks everybody! And wildcard28 with the right amount of sleep deprivity, caffeine binging, glue and paint fumes you'd be suprise what you could build lol.
