The Flash WIP

[NkdRnr]

Ok, so again, I'm brand new at this so go easy on me. Haha. I'm taking bits and pieces of ideas from several different Flash costumes that I like as well as adding some components that are my own idea. Overall though, I feel like the majority of the costume is coming from the new Justice League movie costume. For this first build I'm trying to use some prefab armor for the knees and shins as well as an armored jacket for motocross. I'm having to prime and paint all of the plastic pieces on these and that's definitely been a struggle. Haha. I bought a nice latex cowl and pulled the earpieces off of it and I'm going to replace them with some nice 3-D printed ones that I bought. I've had a chest emblem 3-D printed as well. I'm airbrushing these and will be mounting the chest piece using a strong rare earth magnet. I'm contemplating attaching the earpieces with strong magnets as well rather than gluing them on. What are your thoughts on this? I have included a photo of my completed leg pieces and my gloves. Let me know what you think. Thanks everyone.

Here's my cowl so far. I decided to just use Gorilla Glue to attach the earpieces. Thoughts?

Wow looking nice! I love Flash costumes. I've got one in the works myself.

where did you get the cowl?

I bought it from Amazon. Cost like $13. But.........I ripped the lightning bolt earpieces off, added flexible wire to the nosepiece to fit it to my face better, PlastiDipped the whole thing, then painted it a different red and sealed it with Modge Podge. After that, I put on the new earpieces that I had 3D printed.
