Hello everyone. My name is Doug. I am doing my first cosplay costume for the 2015 MegaCon in Orlando. Since I was choosing to do this at last min I have chosen to do “The Red Hood New 52”. So far I have my jacket ordered (though I am not sure about ordering that on line) My helmet which will require some possible sanding and all the paint, and I have decided while I wait on things to come in I am going to be doing an armor upgrade using Centra for the parts and I used AutoCAD to size my parts to my size before cutting them out. So far it’s going good, falling into some mistakes that I think most first timers do like paying too much attention to detail and thinking too much about how to do something different than everyone else. My sister and brother in-law have been a BIG Help with keeping me on point and giving me tips for fabricating my stuff(They are both in the 501st). I have built a few things in the past like light sabers using PVC template cutouts with steel pipe and spray paint and a few jawa weapons. So I know how to use tools and techniques but this is my first full build. I am even going to the state of trying to get myself back in shape so I can pull the costume off the way I see it in my head. I will also be making a mask to wear under the helmet so when I want to take it off I can still look somewhat like the part.
I will start posting pictures of my progress soon so if anyone has any tips or comments about how things look I would be happy to hear them.

I just enjoy working with my hands and wanted to actually complete a build for a change.
