So I guess I'll jump in here and post what I've got so far for my TFA Captain America. I am preparing for Comic-Con in Salt Lake City the first weekend in September so I only have a few weeks left. I'm getting pretty close though.
Here is most of what I've got so far. I know the jacket and the pants are not accurate but I can live with that. In addition to what you see here, I also have the knife sheath for my leg (no knife yet) and a Captain America shirt for under the jacket.
The suspenders and ammo belt are replicas of the correct equipment as well as the spatts.
I have the helmet, goggles, gun holster, and gun on order and they should be here this weekend. I also started a shield build today. I decided to just use some 5mm plywood that I had lying around. If it turns out good I may look to upgrade in the future but I think it will be good enough for one day of comic-con.
This is my second Cap costume and my third overall build. I've done a stealth Cap and a Deathstroke, both for conventions.
More pics to come as the build comes together.
