My interpretation of Mr Remy Lebeau (Gambit)

[Ant85]

Totally righteous Gambit! Much love for your boots ('cuz I'm a craft foam fanatic), but please do tell about that wicked overcoat. Is it handmade...a thrift shop find...eBay?

^Agreed. Story on the jacket?

 

[Harvester85]

Haha thanks guys, jacket was handmade by a good friend of mine. We hunted down buckles, x-men badges etc and put it together after doing a duct tape pattern of my torso (that was an interesting afternoon ). Got some cheap micro suede off of ebay and lined it with some simple black cotton for extra weight. you can't really see it but there's actually several extra panels in the back to give it the classic 'swoosh' effect when the wind catches... Shall I put up a photo of the coat in progress from the back?

 

[fallimar]

Yeah, the jacket was a fun build!
Hi, I'm the friend. I sew and make stuff

 

[r2d2grrl]

You make one badass Gambit! Haha, love the costume, really great job!

 

[Lunaman]

Dude. Holy ****.

 

[Harvester85]

Dude. Holy ****.

Hahaha, cheers mate, that's a pretty pleasant reaction

 

[Harvester85]

Pretty average photoshoppery, but I couldn't help myself!

I didn't even attempt the eyes

 

[Lunaman]

Ayep. That right there is pretty damn legit. Killing it.

 

[Serialjoker]

Awesome costume, man. I love it!

 

[Peter Parker]

One of the best Gambits I've seen! Well played.

 

[Wes R]

That's for sure one of the harder costumes to pull off that he's worn. I love that you went with the classic look from the 90s. I haven't picked up a new x-book since 1997 so i'm not even sure what he looks like now lol. You did an amazing job.

 

[Yrien]

This is an excellent Gambit, wow! Awesome job!

 

[crabra comander]

Yeah, XtremeFX's chest pieces are outstanding!

 

[Knight Falcon]

One of the best Gambits ive seen!

 

[Harvester85]

Thanks guys, means a lot when you hear it from fellow enthusiasts! Next time I get photo's done I'll make sure I have his staff... Con wouldn't let me carry it around

 

[spydrwoman11]

Came out great!
Was it hard moving with that chest plate on?

Not at all, the chest moved really well, just a pain to get in and out of cars
the cowl was an issue though, I had batman syndrome and ended up with a sore neck... I'm thinking getting a smaller cowl might help though, this one is pretty loose!

Oh, and thanks btw

 

[ze0ro]

That's hands down the best cowl I've ever seen for Gambit. I really dig the boots too. Awesome job!

Thanks, I'm pretty pleased with it all

 

[totalz3r0]

That's some very nice work there.
My fav. Marvel character is Gambit, and I must say that is the best costume I've ever seen. ( Including that mistake of a movie Wolverine Origins ).
