WIP - My personal take on Robin

[stevechewbacca]

Hi everyone,

I played Arkham City and I really liked the Robin render. So I decided to build it.
As I don't have a very muscular body, I went to a personal design based on the AC render and some other concepts I found online and on the DC Icons book.

Here's what I've done so far.










Yeah it's like making an xmas elve outfit







WHat do you guys think about it ?

Looking good so far! The sewing lines look pretty even and the armor all looks even spaced (which is a pain the in you-know-what to manage). I'd say you're on the right track.

Looks great so far! Very Damian-esque.

 

[stevechewbacca]

Thanks guys

I'm trying to find some good trousers but cannot choose between these 3 :

The side armors are removable on this one (the most expensive)

Kevlar, pretty casual look, cheapest:

Average price, pretty cool look for super hero outfit (nah ?)

 

[Vox]

I advise taking the one with made of the lightest and/or most breathable fabric. Unless the rest of your costume is lightweight, heavy pants will likely be uncomfortable if you are wearing them for more than a couple hours.

They all look good. I like number 3 the best because of the design elements, but only if you can block out the logo with a belt. Otherwise, I vote number 2.

Great job so far !!!!
Number 3 for me, looks more "super hero" for me.

 

[stevechewbacca]

Thanks for the advice !

Yep, I think the 3rd has a better design too It also got a removable insulating lining. The only thing I have to know is if the thermal stuffing is also removable. If not, I'll have to go for the 2nd one made of kevlar.

 

[KJC]

I think the 1st or 3rd one. The 2nd one kinda just looks like cargo pants.

 

[stevechewbacca]

I ordered the 3rd one the logo will be under the belt so no problem ^^

 

[cravera]

@stevechewbacca where you searched those first pants of the images

 

[stevechewbacca]

I received the pants yesterday but no pics for the moment.
I'll make a fitting test at the end of the day.


But I made some progress on the top suit :

Adding the logo cut from foam


Re-shaping the hood


Snaps to fix the cap


I used some canvas I already get to make a first version of the cap

Hi guys !
So, this is my first shooting, hope you like it :

 

[wrcromu]

Very nice !!

 

[stevechewbacca]

Thanks !
I ordered an utility belt to get a more efficient one and my staff is going to change a bit too

Do you have a pattern for your reshaped hood? I would love to use it for a Green Arrow build all the other hood patterns I've seen I wasn't too fond of..

 

[stevechewbacca]

I really appreciate that you like my hood
Unfortunately, I don't have any pattern, I made it as I felt it.
What I can tell you is that I used a sewing model ("mannequin") to shape it at first and then, rounded the sides. Not sure if it helps. If you want, I can take the measurements of it ^^

 

[Judge Spartan]

Measurements would be great! I think I know what you mean with the rest and thanks:thumbsup

 

[stevechewbacca]

Ok I'll take them tomorrow when I'm back from the office
