My Classic Captain America (PICTURE HEAVY)

[ttownmaul520]

YO! thats whats up! i'm realy, really skeptical about the "superhero lycra" suits but the details you added made it look dead on, good job man and you and your brother nailed it. i'm not a fan of marvel really but this is good regardless man, right on!

Thanks guys. The suits range from $800 to $2,500. We picked the "Super" size for just over $1,000. Being a private company, Flex Designs were extremely helpful and willing to work around price and payment.

Holy Crap! Life size action figures with real action. :thumbsup

Thanks, all! Thinking about doing a Commander Rogers over the suit for a "walking costume" on the STL Con floor before the costume contest.

I wasn't paying attention to the muscle suit post, and saw the one with just the abs and thought, Damn! That bloke is huge!!

This is an awesome take on the costume, and done right!! Kudos to this awesome build, my friend! I'll be using this as an inspiration for my ever growing Captain America costume collection.

With the St. Louis Comic Con next weekend, got an update. Got my airbrush in and tested blue and black shading. First time airbrush! I'll post finishing pictures after the con.

And final pics from the St. Louis Comic Con. My twin brother was Thor and my girlfriend put together a quick Scarlet Witch from the new AoU stills:

now did you make the lycra top for this? Or did you purchase it pre made with the red stripes stitched into it?

 

[WingHead88]

It's an under armor cold gear shirt. I crafted a lyrca version, but the fabric didn't "squeeze" as well as the UA shirt.

 

[jamesalton1]

so all you did was just stitch a few UA shirts together?

 

[WingHead88]

Yep, a white solid shirt and a cut-up red one.

This is ridiculously amazing. I have spent the last 6 months gaining 30 pounds for my Cap cosplay next year. Why did nobody tell me I could just do this???

 

[STARL0RD]

Very nice job!
