Hi,
I'm brand new to this website so I'm sorry if anyone has asked similar questions to myself, but here I go!
Love the Karl Urban Dredd film SO MUCH! Really refreshing! Started doing Cosplay last year (went as Deadshot (DC comic-style), way before the up-and-coming Suicide Squad film was in the works!) and it went down well, but I wanted to do a more ambitious costume: DREDD!!! I've uploaded some photos of my efforts so far: the Helmet isn't painted (obviously!), my Lawgiver has only had one coat of paint and I've started on the Armour but I'm stuck!
I was thinking of using just foam (to keep it cheap) as I've seen people use Worbla, which looks cool, but is quite expensive here in the UK. Just some general advice, I was thinking sewing the Armour to a Soft-shell black Gilet (black felt waste-coat), good idea? I thought it would be easier as it has a zip on it already, all I need to do is sew on the Armour.
I'm completely stuck on the shoulder-pads! I've found images online which people have used but I wandered if anyone had done a Pepakura on them or even a tutorial. Any help would be great
Also let me know what you think so far! I know it's early days, but would be great to know what you think
Thanks,
Danny
