Looking good there. I wouldn't mind seeing some more!!
and you will , i'm making the vest right now , and a "gift" for a friend who wants to dress up as harley quinn


Nice work, I like the use of the straws
thanks , i wanted to buy some tubes , but i decided that i wanted to make it cheap , and (to my surpise) it came out good :)
 
OH! Please post up the Harley Quinn one as well! Went to DragonCon last year & there was a good amount of HQ there. The ones I liked the best were the one from the Arkham Asylum & Arkham City! There was a few Jokers too! One of them pulled it off PERFECT. Not just talking about costume. The make-up & facial expression!

i used some silver plastic-ish fabric, i'll weather it so it will look darker
 
harley quinn's gun (finished)

IMG-20120708-00299.jpg

IMG-20120708-00300.jpg

i used 3 types of tubes , an empty tape cardboard tube and a cardboard cap
IMG-20120708-00306.jpg

a corrugated cardboard tube for details
IMG-20120708-00305.jpg

a large tube for the cannon

fitting test on the gun grip
IMG-20120708-00304.jpg

hotglued together
IMG-20120708-00308.jpg

i "painted" a coat of white glue on the tube to secure it
Fotodelda08-07-2012alas17432.jpg

hotglue didn't work so i used some superglue
IMG-20120708-00311.jpg

i did a base paint and , since it looked weird i superglued a curved piece of cardboard
Fotodelda08-07-2012alas1922.jpg

i used some "wall body filler" wich is quite easy to apply
IMG-20120708-00313.jpg

IMG-20120708-00314.jpg

and did the final paintjob , i used grey , white , red and brown , and then a final coat of white glue to seal everything up
Fotodelda09-07-2012alas17372.jpg

Fotodelda09-07-2012alas1737.jpg

and one final tip , when you try to do something to look out of wood (in this case the handle) do this
do a thick layer of glue , leave it alone for about a minute , then with a sharp pencil , do random lines from the top to the bottom , and do so several times , when its dry it will look like wood , do the paintjob you wish and do a thin protective coat of white glue

ok , please tell me what you think , there's more to come !
 
It does look like wood in the one pic! Kool! Thanks for the tips. Im going to have to remember that. very awesome. I thought at first you might build it up a bit more for the handle part at least. Good job!
 
shoulder update

ok , so i went downtown and bought this
IMG-20120717-00327.jpg

now , i'll try to explain myself , what i plan to do is make this "suspenders" with 2 different straps , one will go from my belt (back) , over my shoulder to my chest , and the second one will be from my belt (front) up to my chest , so both bucles will lock and add detail , plus a way to adjust them , and same thing on the other side
IMG-20120717-00328.jpg

and this is a how it's supposed to be (this is the back)
IMG-20120717-00329.jpg

the shoulder pads are simple , just make this oval shape plus 2 cm to sew it , turn it inside out , fill it with cotton and sew the opening by hand ... it's basically a small pillow
IMG-20120717-00331.jpg




quick offtopic , my friend is gonna wear a bat cowl for the movie so i decided to make a quick nolan styled batarang
IMG-20120718-00332.jpg

IMG-20120718-00333.jpg

i'll post another update by tonight

please leave suggestions , comments and feedback , you have no idea how this helps me keep going on making stuff
 
vest finished

after i traced all of the silver pieces i used a sandpaper and sanded the pieces down so the wouldn't be so shiny and looked a bit "damaged"
then i traced the patterns on some dark beige fabric and sewed it together , i used a metal zipper on the side so i could put it on easily , then i sewed the armor pieces in the vest
IMG-20120714-00320.jpg

IMG-20120714-00321.jpg

oh , and by i sewed , i mean my awesome grandmother helped me to do it lol

bane costume update/test 1

allright , so i bought these on a store downtown ... i spent 30 minutes looking for ones that were cheap
IMG-20120717-00327.jpg

this is how its supposed to look like when it's done
IMG-20120717-00328.jpg

IMG-20120717-00329.jpg

the suspenders were made like if they were 2 small pillows , and i fill them with cotton
IMG-20120717-00331.jpg

IMG-20120718-00335.jpg

this is how it's supposed to look , i also painted the buckles grey
IMG-20120718-00338.jpg

IMG-20120718-00341.jpg

so far so good , the first costume test ... it kinda looks nice ... ignoring my hair of course lol
Fotodelda19-07-2012alas16252.jpg

the dark knight trilogy batarang

i made three cardboard cutouts , one full image of the batarang and 2 without the "sharp edge"
IMG-20120718-00332.jpg

IMG-20120718-00333.jpg

i glued all three with white glue and then did a coat of glue on the outside
after that i used the wall body filler on the edges to make the "sharp" effect
IMG-20120718-00336.jpg

then sanded down a bit and added a coat of white glue and sanded again and painted it gold
IMG-20120718-00337.jpg

after that i did a coat of white glue to make it smoother and to protect the paint
 
NICE!!! Did you see the 3rd movie? And did you go dress up?
i did , and as bane said "of course !"
someone else dressed up as batman and we were fighting across the mall , pepole were taking pictures ... sadly , not me ...
and i can't upload the pics of the "finished costume" since my computer broke and is currently being repaired ...
 
Great work on the costume! Very clever using the bendy straws ;) I'm a huge batman fan (have been for a very long time) and just wanted to compliment you on all the different items. Love seeing batman stuff.

Sad to see the end of the batman trilogy but the movie was GREAT!
 
allright !
since my computer is still away for reparation , i can't upload pics ... :(
but i can let you all know what my current build is ... i'm making an arkhan city robin ! wich will be used in haloween
i started yesterday with sketches and schematics for the glove , forearm , mask , grappling gun , belt & belt pouches and possible decoration for the bo staff
so far i've finished making everything to a proper size (i'll upload the desgins as soon as possible) , and i just finished building the gloves and forearms (to be painted tomorrow)
thanks for the support and compliments !
