This is going to be a slow build but wanted to try sharing some progress with you guys.
I've decided I'm going to try to tackle the "Age of Ultron" Captain America suit, and I'm going to spend my time in this thread breaking it down and showing how I'm piecing my replica suit together. First thing I've noticed is that the helmet and chest star look like they're recycled from Cap's TWS stealth suit, so I'm going to try to tackle those first.
This is the chest star I modelled in Softimage. It's a nice hi-res file, so should come out nicely once 3d printed. I know there are some already out there, but the scale of those I've seen would look inaccurate to me. Stars I've used in the past have measured 14cm at the widest point, so that's what I'm going to aim for. I figure I might cast this is black tinted resin, then hit it with some "Rub and Buff" to simulate that metallic sheen.
I may try 3d modelling the helmet myself too, just because.
Alternatively I might take an "Avengers" helmet, fill in the wing indents, and add layers of detail using self-adhesive vinyl, as a good budget option.
