No body huh

What did you use for the undersuit? Looks good!

I used a 3/4 mannequin for displaying my suit. I cut the head off the mannequin and added a bar up the back to hold the cowl upright. I wanted the look of the "batsuit" on display rather than putting it on a mannequin and it looking like "batman" make sense?

I ended up trading my suit for a C-3PO kit but found some old pics. This is before I added the correct 8 panel cape but you get the idea. If your putting yours on spandex, you may wanna just use a full mannequin and just hack the head off. I liked the look of seeing through the cowl and it just being empty darkness

Thanks! Yeah I figured I could always build another batsuit but 3PO kits are hard to find. And my R2 needed his buddy. The batsuit looked better with the correct cape size, wish I still had the newer photos

Oh and the suit is Jester FX and its just a 3/4 black mannequin underneath

That cape in the pic wasn't my final cape, I believe my cape was just vinyl. Yeah latex capes are pricey. And my boots were Jester FX as well, they came with the armor spats already attached to the boot which was nice

Here's what I got as of now on my duct tape dummy lol

What capes are those here using? I am looking for something reasonably priced, but can't even find vinyl that isn't fabric-backed for less than $50/yard.

Same here, gonna just Terry making my own latex cape lol

Fabric backed 89 cape is actually technically correct. Only the first two panels of the cape had latex on the inside.

Most fabric backs I find are white or otherwise not a dark color.
