Re: The Flash TV Series Cowl from 3D model Run finished

I am going to be building a flash costume and this would be an awesome piece to add, I definitely want one!!
 
Re: The Flash TV Series Cowl from 3D model Run finished

Does anyone read the titles? :p

i think people assume that whatever's posted on this forum is an unlimited run. With how rare this cowl will be, I'm glad I got my hands on one. I'm sure your inbox is flooded with messages about this cowl.

Not so much..but I do get an occasional question about it here and my inbox ;)

Thanks, Prim. They really are awesome :) I'm happy to share the first pic of the Reverse Flash color

Also, just wanted to say I enjoy watching your YouTube vids, man. There should be more prop-based shows like yours!

I was thinking of doing a similar finish as Iggy. My head is 21.5 inches and I tried squeezing through but stopped halfway hahaha

Was thinking of doing something similar as Iggy.

Anyone have more details/ tutorials about finishing BESIDES the superglue gel to attach the bolts? :lol

Like what black, gold paint to use, etc? Would you be making a tutorial, C?

Good luck on the zippers. They look great, but are a bit hard to install.

For the bolts, I used Chicago Screws like these:

I trimmed them down, attached one side to the bolt, hole punched the cowl, then screwed the other side from the inside to the bolt. It keeps it tight, and I don't have to worry about them popping off from movement, bumping, or the glue coming loose from the rubber cowl.

For the gold, I used an enamel paint I found at Michaels. The gold on the chest bolt is a different color than the ones on the ears by a bit. Perhaps the new cowl is more similarly colored.

Just got my cowl in yesterday and looks great! The way i got it on was using Iggys method. All i have to do now is install the zips.

This picture is just lovely. How's the fit? I saw a video of someone who bought a cowl and had trouble getting into it, did you cut a pet of it before putting it on where you'll install the zippers? Looks awesome, love the red eye effect you did, quite the nice touch. Haha

edit: never mind just read the comment above.

They all look good on :) not sure why people are having issues. I have a 22.25" head and I can get it on easy enough. My buddy has a 23" head and he gets it on. But yes the zippers in the back would be the safest bet if your scared of ripping it :p

Fits good once inside it. I have a 23'' head and couldn't get pass the neck part, i think that is the issue most people have. Other then that once you are inside you are Gold and fits great with lots of room. If you have trouble follow Iggy's method worked well for me doing it that way.

Nicely done. Maybe one day we can meet up and do a Flash and Reverse Flash photoshoot if we're at a con together. It would be awesome to see these two in the same room, I'm sure these are scattered around the states. Can't wait to get mine.
 
Re: The Flash TV Series Cowl from 3D model Run finished

If any of you guys do photo shoots and such please post them up here..makes it all worth it when people enjoy the stuff I make :)
 
Re: The Flash TV Series Cowl from 3D model Run finished

I got my head through!

You gotta pull each side up, one at a time.. then just GO FOR IT.

But yes, the neck is the hardest area to get through. It's kinda scary haha

Getting out is much harder! but it was an.. experience. Anywayyy.. Here are some pics I just took!

My head is 21.5'' The cowl is REALLY big on me. More so, height-wise.

I had to pull the cowl up and pinch the back, to make it rest the right way.

Photoshopped my arms and hands out of the pics :)

Please see for yourself.

Thanks for the info, Iggy. Appreciate it!

AND after looking over some episodes again and taking some screenshots.. The cowls do have zippers in the back BUT ONLY on the left side
