Outstanding tutorial on a good looking costume......Thank you for the many ideas on the use of craft foam!!!

Good job, I love the helmet, I thought about doing a helmet just to put on display in my home....I think Im motivated to start now. Did you fiberglass it or do anything to make it rigid?

Great Job Thor ! Next year we will starting as the great and powerful AVENGERS !!

LordGaga: I used some glue to make it rigid. But it did not work very well with the paint, since it got some cracks. Next time I would use some plastidip before painting.

How did you get the base of the helmet? I've been trying to figure it out with foam, but it doesn't seem to be working

For this Year I will do a rework of the costume. Started with cutting the front of the helmet an adding some more black color to the edges.

Also reworked the belt and the gauntlets Used Worblas to cover them. I will put some holes in it to fix them with Leather strings like real ones.

Here are some WIP pics:

Added some silver details and the holes for the leather strip. I like the cracked silver color - it's not a bug, it's a feature

Today: rework of the belt with Worblas. Time spent: 2 hours. It's really easy to work with.
