Suicide squad Deadshot costume/props

[The Man In Hood]

During the summer I decided to cosplay Deadshot from suicide squad. It was fun to do because he had a bunch of weapons on him at which makes it reaally fun when doing poses . First i did alot of searching for different angles of the costume and props, then i sketch out the template or how i think i will look like.


the i started on the vest armour starting with the front, most of the armour is made out of eva foam



then i started on the wrist guns which took 2 attempts in doing then got primed base painted and full painted and made the part that connects on the wrists.



After that i worked on his utility belt which the pouch is extremely glued on by hot glue.


after that i worked on the other Armour parts and holsters on him. its only finished versions of them i forgot to take pictures during the process I will try to do so in future posts. also i could find the other knee pad.

then after that i made the shirt which was made out of jersey material, luckily I was able to breathe while wearing it due to how tight it was.


after that i worked on the eye scope maybe inthe future i will try to add leds but for the mean time good enough XD

finally after that i worked on the rifle which only took a couple days to do. the rifle is made out of various craft foam and eva foams with a pvc pipe barrel inside.

That's really awsome. I'm in the middle of my own Deadshot build. Taking a lot longer than I first thought

Love the red shirt and the extra detail. I decided to go for an under armour , mock twist, cold gear in red - I'm currently in training to lose some weight and gain some bulk so making a bespoke top would have been a drain on finances I can not handle right now, as three months down the line it would not fit me and I'd need to make another.

If I cosplay Deadshot regular I'm thinking of getting a designer to make a custom print so I can have out made into 4 way stretch lycra and compression, since that would be more practical.
