Re: Some Recent work on MAN OF STEEL Movie accurate suit .
I'm much too lean to make a good superman, but I'd be intrigued by using a suit with this construction to do something inspired by one of these gents...

Will you add a leather trim to the top of the boots?
About the muscles, would a muscle under suit work? like this Lean Muscle Suits

Pretty sure the boot "top" is in the works, but will be urethane or other rubber like the other parts - not leather.
Problem with a muscle suit is that you will get the bulk, but lose the definition under the silver lycra undersuit. The glissnet layer won't do that (and that's why the original suit works), so the only way to combat it is to either: 1) put muscles on top of a silver suit with the glissnet over it (my likely route) or 2) adhere/glue the silver suit directly over your muscle suit so you can retain the definition. I've seen that done once with a Deadpool costume and the result looked great, or 3) get the muscle suit made in a shiny silver outer material to begin with.
But if you just slap a lycra suit over a muscle suit, what you get is the "Total Recall" effect. Arnold was still vintage Arnold under that suit, but just looked big, not defined.

How will you accomplish this if the silver suit is already attached to the glissnet? Masked rider said they couldn't be separated in the sales thread.

That will be something I'll have to work out, I guess.

The body suit could work to a degree, but you would need leslee to not have applied the muscle look texture under the glissenette. In other words just a silver suit without definition.
Masked Rider What are the body armor parts made of? just want to make sure they are flexible.

You have seen the actual suit close up. How close does leslee's body armor come to the real thing? I know they are not made of the same thing, but if his is more durable then I could care less. Just would like your opinion.

Actually the upper part of the boot is needing to be changed. The boots slant in the back as seen in this photo below.

I was under the impression the glissnet would be too thin and transparent on its own, but perhaps I am incorrect.
Man, I really wish he'd take partial orders. The body suit would be a fantastic base for a less accurate, but still really cool, suit.

Re: Some Recent work on MAN OF STEEL Movie accurate suit .
He explained to me why having the silver suit NOT being attached can be problematic. The outer chainmail suit is very thin and see-thru because it's nylon lycra. I haven't seen it in person but i'm guessing it's like women's lingerie On its own, you cannot wear it unless you're in flasher mode So you need something to go underneath. Now, this nylon-lycra material is not clingy, but the silicone chainmail (on the inner side) has a sticky/clingy quality to it. This means that if you try to place it over a shiny material, it'll likely "catch" in certian areas and may likely cause issues with the other suit. If you go with a poly-lycra inner suit, it will probably not catch, but now you dont have the shiny see-thru effect like in the movie. If you then manipulate the inner suit to have that shiny effect, you may once again have issues with it clinging -- in which case you would want to sew them together
Solution 1: Find your own inner suit, but make sure it's not going to cling to the silicone on the inner chainmail. If it does, you'll likely have to figure out how to sew them together. You could use a muscle shaded poly-lycra printed material, but i dont know what it will look like
Solution 2: A shiny muscle suit to wear directly underneath the outer chainmail... expensive, and not sure if it will cling - i guess it depends on what's used to make it shiny.
Solution 3: Go with Masked Rider's inner Silver Shiny suit. He said it's a bit thicker but high quality and stretchy!
Possible Solution 4: Masked Rider: is there any way to sew the undersuit in a way where it's not connected on every seem which would somehow allow us to paint areas black in sections. I think about sleeves that are connected at the armpit/shoulder area, but are not connected at the seams going down the arm... Just a suggestion, not sure this is even possible.

These are head and shoulders above what anyone else has made. Very close to the film suit.

My hope was to build my own muscle under suit and have a chrome spray applied with black details and shadows airbrushed in

Re: Some Recent work on MAN OF STEEL Movie accurate suit .
Designed a muscle template from image embossed image scans of the movie suit from movie book and online sources last week. Took me several weeks to get just right.Just setting them up to get 3D templates made by next week. The muscles in the inner body suit is actually what is called 'Dragon Skin' that is adhered to a body stocking which is like the under armour cooling gear with a elastin and nylon in it. The chainmail fabric, which again is not actually meshed. It has been referred to as mesh like fabric, but as the costume/fashion designer Michael Wilkinson and concept designer James Acheson has mentioned, was referred to as four-way stretch lycra. The outer fabric is then heat pressed to the under suit. Just a tip. lol!
