Alright so figured I'd give myself a bit of time to get ready for Halloween and I'm doing a thing with a couple of buddies at work and we decided on a DC theme. So, being nightwing is one of my favorites I decided to go as him. I've done alot of reading and research in the threads here and cosplay forums.
I'm going to attempt the arkham city suit since it's my favorite version of him.
Alot of right now is searching for the right materials by ordering a bunch of sample swatches and all. I haven't seen this done on here for this particular suit, but I believe I can achieve the look through a combination of thin foam and latex. We'll see though heh and if it doesn't happen to work out for some reason well Injustice Nightwing it is.
I already ordered my mask from Xtreme Design Fx. Seemed to be the closest to the mask since I wasn't really a big fan of people who use the Robin mask for Nightwing. It'll take a bit to get here, but here's the link for any of those interested Untitled Document
Right now I'm planning out templates which is kind of nerve racking, but slowly getting there. Oh and another thing I actually built a mannequin, sort of, from STEALTH's video. Heh don't have a friend for the duck tape part, but figured this will be ok. Better than nothing since that drove me crazy when I was building my War Machine and all my parts were everywhere.
