Been working on a few costumes recently, namely Joker Goon costume (1989 Batman) still in progress and my Deathstroke (Arkham Origins) currently stalled. But recently the idea of doing a Karl Kroenen sparked in my mind and I've been unable to shake it, so here goes. Pretty much all parts are source from various vendors and Ive been playing around with creating hidden blades.
Reference photos:
So far I have (or awaiting delivery):
Mask: (and Balaclava)
Jackets and pants: (as suggested in another thread)
Hat: (I've gone for a fairly large hat so I can fit mask and balaclava under it)
Boots:
Badges/Medals/Collar Tabs:
Belt and Buckle:
Shirt: (nothing fancy just short sleeve and cheap to try reduce cost and heat when wearing)
Gun and Holster: (movie references say a Luger P08 but finding a nice replicate and getting into Australia at a reasonable cost is hard, I've had toy/replicate weapons confiscated by costumes before, so I went for a locally sourced P38 and P08 holster, also most images I've seen seem to show a P08 holster)
Dagger: (will need to modify to make safe for Australian conventions, as blade is removable, I will try to replicate screw shaft and about an inch of blade blunt and rounded on end)
Hidden Blades:
I plan to modify 2 of these, either mounted on a rail to appear out of sleeve or I may just go for something fixed.
This was my first attempt as working hidden blades: (blade sits between a metal rail and a piece of curved cardboard, a rubber band is used to make it extended and a ring, a piece fishing like and a pin are used to hold blade in place and release when pulled)
Not going to get armband as it's not seen or cuff label.
