Armor parts look great.

Re: Some Recent work on MAN OF STEEL Movie accurate suit .

Also did some tricks on the emblem . I cut a piece of the printed chainmail material in the emblem shape , than spray with the gold paint material that i used on my iron man rubber parts , than i will glue the emblem S with , than attach on the suit . so it will be as thin on the suit and i will not have to air brush the gold direct on the suit . . Still working on the blue frame .

Looks great! I like this idea... if there is any shine through it probably just makes it look that much more accurate. There are some pics where the yellow/gold isn't as strong which may be a result of lighting but i think this may be similar. After you get this on the costume, check it out from different angles..

Will this painted material also be used for the buckle?

Thanks, Yeah.. the gold has a bit of shiny cause I added some gold powder into the paint, sure I'll take some great hi res photos by my camera after all attached. And sure in different angle.

As for the belt buckle and 2 pieces on the waist with gold chainmail , that will be cast by the material similar as the body armor parts. I molded the printed chainmail texture on the fabric, than will cast it and apply onto the belt buckle and the 2 pieces waist part. Will show u the result soon.

I would still try to experiment with adhering the fabric to the muscles in certain areas to give it the correct definition, and letting it glide over other areas.

Re: Some Recent work on MAN OF STEEL Movie accurate suit .

Yes , thats because the layer of glissnette material printed with thick chainmail , it become thick and less stretchy , not like the original thin glissnette , and my tailor didnt sewn the suit tight enough on the mannequin , so u can easily sees that its 2 layers . Need to do the suit more skin tight . I can't wear this suit for test cause its made to this Mannequin body size .... Hmm.... i may let few members here with great body build with muscle to try on this suit .....:thumbsup

The issue isn't about the suit not being tight enough or about adhering layers together---it's about the fact that your silver appliances are completely flat and have large gaps. The suit's illusion works because there is a highly sculptural contour underneath the translucent layer with very close gaps between the appliances; the dimensionality allows the silver to catch light and make it look like the suit is clinging to the contours when it is actually riding above them. Essentially the undersuit becomes individual muscle fasciae and the fabric layer becomes the skin that wraps around them, mimicking the internal structure of human limbs. This effect cannot work with flat silver pieces sewn to the suit. If you were to try to mimic it with a flat silver layer, it would at least need gradient shading from contour to contour like the shading on a Spidey suit, but even then it wouldn't replicate the way the suit's appearance shifts in the light. It's the combination of 3-dimensional countours and the reflective surface that results in the look of the suit, not just having a silver color beneath the blue.

I love the body armor it really looks legit with the right colors giving the impression of grey blue or black. What I liked about the pannous Fulvio symbol is that it was pigmented candy apple red which gave a really nice shine to it.

Re: Some Recent work on MAN OF STEEL Movie accurate suit .

If Masked Rider were to spray paint his mannequin with a chrome/silver color (in the right areas) and black in the rest, I think we would see a similar effect...Not sure how to translate that into an actual undersuit but for the purpose of reproducing the display I think it may work. What you think?

Epic build mate, your attention to detail and over-all effort is inspiring to new builders like myself to spend that little bit more time to make it perfect, keep doing what your doing buddy, awesome stuff.

i don`t know if this will help you, please don`t be offended, i thought to help achieve the chrome/black muscle definition underneath like the picture shown above, how about a chrome skin suit, then airbrush the black muscle definition on with some added padding? just a thought.

Yes, these issues will be alleviated when Masked Rider finishes his sculptural mannequin and paints it accordingly, which I'm certain he is planning to do. For a wearable suit it will need cast foam appliances, or failing that, a silver under suit with gradient contour shading (not ideal, but won't look nearly as blocky as the current iteration).

Of course, this isn't to say that the project isn't looking great at every step, it is! The craftsmanship and dedication here is wonderful.

Thanks Bro for the clear explanation , and yes , my target is to create the display suit just like the MOS tour suit display. Adding the undersuit was a test to see how it looks if someone wearing it . If the suit will to be wear on human body , must have an undersuit inside for sure , or else its too thin and will sure looks very sexy huh......lol... Also the Silver undersuit will have the shiny and catch light as well. Also im curious as the suit on the muscle mannequin ( Henry body cast ) it really fits like a second skin ... Also been told that the texture chainmail were foam latex ? :unsure , and its easily damage as well , but it won't affect the stretch of the suit , so we can see its really skin tight .

As my chainmail texture were printed in silicone , its really durable and in beautiful shape , u wont need to really take care of it as the texture wont damage easily , but its a bit hard and heavy , also the fabric become less stretch after printed on the chain mail . But it's really durable and high quality .......

Yeah.... working on that bro ...its a really slow sculpting process , i'm working alone and this is the first human muscle body that first attempt on...

Hey Masked Rider... The suit looks amazing bro! One question though. Are you making this costume to be worn or for display?

Thanks bro. Enjoy watching your build too …... mine one is just for display, but received few request to make wearable suit. I've made lots of armor suit replica but non of them fits myself as I'm enjoying ppl suit up my build and make super hero appearance for children and fans, also love to display all in my work shop and office as props..

Re: Some Recent work on MAN OF STEEL Movie accurate suit .

I just wanted to understand that I hope you had use the four-way-lycra. Micheal Wilkinson, the designer, has mentioned in interviews that the outer material was fabricated to give a
glissnet look with the four-way stretch lycra. That could also be one of the reasons you are not getting that stretch. Some glissnets cross threads are woven to not give the same as a four-way lycra, even though some people state its the same form of fabric. Just a suggestion. And the outer material was actually heat pressed to the muscle undersuit. That is how we are doing ours, We have done a sample and it turned out perfect.

- - - Updated - - -

Again, a suggestion. The movie suit. The yellow area was actually air brushed on the blue fabric of the main suit. They pressed the red S to the blue suit then air brushed the yellow.

- - - Updated - - -

If you look close at the movie chest, it even shows clearly the airbrushed areas. The yellow is more defined around the red areas and goes dark (transparent) allowing the blue to be the darker shades.

Re: Some Recent work on MAN OF STEEL Movie accurate suit .

From what I understand, the material is 90/10 nylon/lycra (4-way) (Masked Rider - please correct if I'm wrong). I think it started out white and then he dyed it. He's also aware of the yellow/gold airbrushing.. If you read a few posts back he discusses why he decided to go this route.
