I have no idea who the maker is, but I traded for it here. When I got it, it was just the resin cast helmet, nothing more. I repainted it, added the leather hood and chin straps. It's really cool looking but not at all accurate. Still, it looks pretty awesome. I just wanted something that could be shown with the suit. Just like the shield, totally custom....and just for photo purposes. :thumbsup
Prices are coming soon. We have all the details ready, just the back end work on the site needs to be done...full details are not far away now.
Finally.....:angel

That's what I was thinking, it's beautiful work, but the suit needs some weathering, it's just too clean. The weathering might help some of the details show up better. I wonder if there's enough market to offer a limited series of weathered ones.
Anyone dare to weather these

I plan on weathering mine the way God intended: by wearing it around while I punch Nazis in the face.

Thanks guys!
OK...weathering.
:darnkids:lol
I agree...once weathered, it does take on a whole new appearance, funny to use the word 'new' with regards to something being 'weathered'. :lol
My concern is this....not only will take more time to finish the goods IF we're weathering them, but how far would we take this aged or used look?
First, it'll raise the cost of the final garment/s...secondly, not everyone will want the same weathered look, this I'm pretty certain about. :unsure
Fortunately, weathering is pretty easy.
That image above, I just used pencil lead on my finger and rubbed it onto the raised brick shapes of the white leather abdomen...and a bit all over in general.
I rubbed a low density lead pencil on some paper, made a big pencil ball scribble...then rubbed my finger into it. The pencil lead stuck to my finger...and so I rubbed the pencil stain over the white leather. That's it.
The beauty here is that it's not a permanent technique.
There are at least a dozen other ways...including shoe polish.
I do agree that my weathered pic above is cooler than the clean version...but we only produce new goods and I really try to stay away from weathering anything ourselves. Besides, you guys are far more talented then I am at this sort of thing...any one of you here will do a far better job at making this look weathered than I ever will. :thumbsup
Or...just use Larry's technique.:angel

No image above, would like to see it though.
Yeah keep it new and cheaper :lol and we can weather it as we want, that's my vote anyway.

SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE THE HELMET AND SHIELD!!! I want to get this suit badly but there is no point in me doing so without the accessories to finish it off. This is the first costume I plan on doing in years and I want to do it right.
David, you really outdid yourself with this. It's the best suit you've made so far buddy. Congrats! You are truly the leather master.

Can you start with my mother in law? She's both nazi and hydra agent.
just my 2 cents on weathering. I restore and re-upholster car interiors for a living, like leather seats.
I use a water based leather dye that can be thinned with water almost to like a wash. i'm pretty sure that's the safest way to weather one of these because it's gentle, wouldn't damage the original piece, and if you didn't do 1 step in the process (the prep/ adheadsion) it wouldn't be able to permanently adhere so it could be removed.

Not to hijack the thread but I'll be doing a screen accurate Helmet in the New Year. Should be done well before David has his suits shipped out.
And I have to agree again best yet, outstanding work.
