Re: Batman Arkham Asylum Armor Updated 5/14/10
Over the last week, I've been working on creating the armature for the upper arm armor. Basically, I took measurements of my upper arm, created a cylinder out of card stock and adjusted it accordingly to better fit my arm. This is the method I used to create the shoulder armor too.
After creating the upper arm armature and putting on the shoulder piece to see how it all lines up, I've to the conclusion that I need to a lifecast to sculpt on so the pieces line up better.
Sadly this puts a kink in the project and will slow things down for awhile. But I'm excited to getting a lifecast of myself, which I will be able to use for this and other projects.
Likely Method proposed by bossreg at theeffectslab forum:
I'll probably be getting a spandex body suit, cover it in vaseline while wearing it *cringes*, make a two-part plaster cast. Once the plaster cast negative has set, I'll fill it with foam to keep it light yet strong.
I'm hoping if I cover the inside of the plaster cast with enough vaseline, the foam won't stick much to the plaster and I'll be able to part the two once the foam has set. This way I can coat the foam with a resin to keep it strong and not have the slightly larger dimensions of leaving the plaster on.
Either way, it will be a few weeks at best before I can get this all worked out. In the mean time, I'm considering starting on the bracers and/or the boot spats.
Any thoughts, input on any of this is appreciated.

I like the aesthetics of the AA suit as well but this is actually based on the armored suit you unlock. When I first saw the armored suit, I fell in love with it. Here's some pics of what the armored suit looks like for people that haven't seen it.
I do have more pics if anyone is interested. Close ups of the forearm, thighs, boots, etc.
