I'm in the process of making molds for the belt and chest emblem for the returns suit if i get good enough results i'll pop a few on ebay..

[Orlando Spider]

i made my suit entirely EXCEPT for the emblem and belt, which i obtained from a very talented friend of mine. I know it's not 100% accurate, but i like it like this...

The only thing still left to do is attach the emblem to the suit, and get a haircut. I'll also add that i'm not taking requests for suits like this. I do this for my own collection.

[Comic Book Boy]

Nice.

[Super Kal]

yeah, that is very nice... i wish I could make my own suit

[TheCalling]

Ohw wow, that looks amazing. I want one of those!

i wish I could make my own suit

Same here.

[Orlando Spider]

I just finished this up last night.... although i'm thinking about redoing the cape in a different pattern to avoid that seam... we'll see.

[Nightwing1977]

Cool, dude! I notice you went with a plain cloth for the cape instead of the leather type, is that right? Again, great work. :up:

[Shamik]

What kind of material did you use for the body suit? Well, what kind did you use for all the pieces? It all looks great. And can you PM me contact info for the people that did the molds for you? I must have a good Superman costume by Halloween this year.

wow man these r great, just fantastic. could u at least tell us the materials and such that u used. i am making a fan film and it would be great to know how u made ur costume, no ordering or anything just a list of materials. if u dont want to post it here u can pm me, thanx

[lujho]

Christ, that's a brilliant Wonder Woman costume - fairly close to the approach I'd like to see the movie take, though not quite. I don't like the big W accross the waist particularly, I'd prefer a traditional, more slender belt and a gap between the belt and chest-eagle.

I suggest talking to her if you want a kick @$$ custom suit.

Uh, Kelly's actually a guy :)

Orlando Spider - the design of your Superman costume is awesome. The colours and the whole "cut" of it is great - the sizes, shapes and arrangement of the various elements - is much better than the real Returns one, much more faithful, even though the changes themselves are slight, they are significant. If that costume was made with the same level of quality as the actual Returns suit it would look absolutely fantastic (this is not a slight against you at all - just acknowledging that a Hollywood feature film's costume is made to a higher standard). I prefer the longer cape of the Returns suit, but apart from that all your design choices are superior - the collar is a vast improvement.

Is the cape able to drape over your shoulder a bit, the way Frank Quitely draws it in All Star Superman?

[pwl4life]

Uh, Kelly's actually a guy :)


yeah I know I was in a rush typing and accedantly put her instead of him.

[SpiderJack]

Orlando,

That is an incredibel looking suit. I'm working on one myself, but need help with the emblem and belt. I know you say your not making them, but do you know ANYONE that is??? I really want to get my hands on a set. Any help from anyone would be appreciated and rewarded. ;)

Thanks

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Nice codpiece. Did you make the boots yourself too? They're better than the movie ones. And for the costume, is it spandex or another material?

[lujho]

I could be mistaken but it doesn't look like lycra/spandex to me. That's the problem with all "spandex" suits... actual Spandex itself sucks, it's an unattractive looking material which no superhero costume should ever be made of. It's just got a horrible sheen.

But if you make a "tights" based costume out of another, high-quality material it can look great. Orlando's costume doesn't look as great as the real Returns or F4 or Spidey suits as far as what it's made of, but it's way better than Dean Cain's shiny lycra.

Most of those KMD costumes suffer from being made of spandex, even though they're incredibly well made. If they were made of another material thay'd look a great deal better. Alex Ross' art suffers from the same thing - most of his heroes actually look like they're wearing cheap lycra, when he could be painting them to have any nice-looking finish he likes.

Yea it is. Although Batman does not make an appearance, he's just a friend lol.

[Orlando Spider]

Hey guys, thanks for the kind comments on my suit.

Concerning the Belt and Emblem, to those who have shown interest:
Although I did not make them, the artist that DID has only done these two items, and these two only. Since these were molded he has begun work on a new version of the emblem and belt (as new reference has surfaced since then) and probably will not have any readily available until closer to the premier. As it stands, my belt and emblem are 1 of a kind.

Concerning the body suit material, All materials are lycra (aka, spandex) based materials (cape included). What i do not understand, is that MOST spandex fabrics have two sides, a solid side, and then a rather shiney side... and for some reason, most costumes are made with the shiney side and end up looking like crud, whereas the solid/flat side looks better. I always make my suits with the flat side. So to answer the question, yes it IS a lycra/ spandex blend, but it's just incorporated in a better way.

Concerning the boots:
I got them off of a generic shoe website, they are imported and very cheap... however with some modification and vinyl/ leather spraypaint, (as well as in my case, switching out the soles) you get a good looking/ comfortable/ and durable boot.

And concerning the Codpiece comment...
What Cod piece?

Well I wish more people would do what you do then. Looks so much better than the shiny side.

[Orlando Spider]

I think it might have something to do with the perception that it looks more like the comics Where you have black shading and super shiney highlitesand accents muscle mass.. Although it looks fine on a comic, it translates Horribly into real life (via lycras anyway..... PVC does a good job of looking similar.... however only on costumes that are meant to be made from pvc... like catwoman, venom, etc.)Also having a solid physic similar to the character also adds greatly.

[Mr. Socko]

I'll definitely use the advise when I decide to stop being lazy and make a Superman fan film. First I need about $10,000 lol.

[TimDrake64x]

i actually found a great looking superman suit today at a costume place near me called part time. its great and only 100 bucks, im getting it in about 2 weeks

[SpiderJack]

Tim,

What type of suit is that you're talking about? How many do they have? :supes:

[TimDrake64x]

no idea what its made of. but its one of those suit that they rent so it looks great, even has the all yellow s on the back. the one near me only has 1 but im sure it would be worth checking out ur local party time or part city or anywhere they rent costumes

[TimDrake64x]

just got my suit today, its awesome, its like 70% polytheraine or something like that and 30% polyester. but ya its great woop woop

[AME]

I always thought that lethar would be better for a overall cape

[Orlando Spider]

Leather is heavy... veeery heavy, and hot as H-E- double hockeystick.
Pleather too.... actually. definetly not breathable

[SuperDaniel]

The spandex shouldn`t hold the cape. Use your arms to do it. Like what Dean Cain used to do in Lois & Clark.

[Orlando Spider]

huh? You mean the cape shouldn't be attached directly to the necktop? It is with mine.... and i like it that way. BTW, Dean Cain's suit is gay. Dean Cain is also gay.

[SuperDaniel]

I`m saying that the spandex doesn`t hold heavier materials like leather or etc, so you can attach the cape to your shoulder and then put the spandex over it. That`s how it was done with the Dean Cain costume, wich had the best cape of them all.
Click here so you can see what i`m talking about.

http://www.kryptonknights.com/tnaos/cape.htm

Oh. I remember someone posting a link with materials for a red leather cape. Can anyone post it again?

[pwl4life]

I just finished my Custom supersuit this week.

The tights and briefs were done by Spandex outfitters
The cape was done by K.M.D. theatrics
the belt and buckle were from tandy leather and I plasi-dipped them yellow
and the shield I designed myself based on concept art from Superman:lives

They did the same to attach the cape in the Superman movies.

[Kal-EL84]

Im looking for a Authenic Dean Cain version. if anyone knows where i can find this or if anyone can mkae this. please let me know. i'd even look at chris reeves version. but i would like the dean cain version. i like the super big S on the chest and how it looks stiched. i also like the cape, it's bigger and longer. so if anyone could help me out that would be awesome

[pwl4life]

K.M.D. Theatrics. Kelly can make ANYTHING. just look throught the first page of this thread to see some of his work

[SpiderJack]

Yes, Kelly (KMD Theatrics) does some FREAKIN FANTASTIC work. I'm sure he can do whatever you want. I am also able to help if you have something special. Just give me an email at jherman312@hotmail.com. I've made several differnt styles of Superman costumes. The George Reeve (1950s), Christopher Reeve (1970s), Dean Cain (1980s) and I'm working on the new movie version of the costume. I've even made custom orders/styles. And I can help with other kinds of spandex based costumes.

Were you in a hurry? :confused:

[SpiderJack]

"Was I in a hurry??"

I don't understand. If you mean was the suit complete? No that was just a work in progress for a customer. I eventually finished the rest of the costume with the wings, ears cut out, lower tights with briefs and belt and boots. Oh, and the gloves. I just don't have any pics for that costume finished. LOL I just wanted to show some of the variety of work that I've done.

Cheers~:)

[Kal-EL84]

I just e-mailed kelly on his website. is there any other way of getting a hold of him. i really like the dean cain costume. it has the big huge :supes: thats stitched so it stands out more. and the cape is long and big. i just think it's a awesome costume. here are pictures of what im looking for.

I was thinkin about it the other day and it would be cool if there was like a jersey that looked like the new supes costume. No cape, boots, pants, belt just the torso area and arms with 3d emblem.
Can anyone point me in the right direction in gettin this???

[TheReverseFlash]

[superman060179]

tights i ordered from ebay, from a place in china, the cape is from a pleather looking material , dont know excatly what it is . but i just bought about 5 yards of it, and cut it out, i attached it with buttons on the lycra.
will be making the briefs out of the same material, belt i have to find something to make that, but the s sheild is a mold from a superman returns toy, and i used a sewing glue, to apply it to the lycra

[Dope Nose]

Orlando ----- I am soooooo jealous!!

I suggest you make me a suit now! hehe
I realise this thread was over some time ago, I've only just found this website.
I'm having a party in 3 weeks as I'm leaving the UK to go and live in NZ. Its a fancy dress party and I'll be going as my all time hero, Superman! I have ordered a deluxe muscle suit thingy, but now I'm looking at all of yours and am thinking damn it, I could've made it or even had someone make it for me! They all look sooooo amazing! I'm now upset my costume isn't going to look very good!

What shall I do???

How (or where) do you guys get these full spandex suits or whatever? I'd like to try to make a Batman suit sometime soon. I know where to find the "extra bits" here and there, but no idea where I could get a full suit like the Chris Reeve superman suit.

Hey ya'll, Does anyone have any experience in dying lycra? I'm working on a returns costume, and I need to dye the red to the maroon color. The briefs and the cape.

[superman060179]

auto zone has this fabric paint taht you can try , dont know how well it will work on lycra but does good, on other fabrics drys fast easy to use, color looks good too, it what i used for my briefs

[amazingheroes]

ok thanks! is it a spray?

[muscaremy]

i just have one question....how do make the emblem and belt thats all

[amazingheroes]

I bought a costume belt on ebay, it's an adult size toy one that lights up. I'm going to use that. It was only $12. Does anyone know the size the chest emblem should be? height and width?

It says it's screen accurate but it's not. I e-mailed the guy for a close up picture and compared it to the original. There is a great pic of the original on the board in the Toy's R Us prop and toy display thread. There are fewer of the little "s'' and the color is way off.

It's nowhere near 12 inches. The screen one is 9 inches at the most, but maybe smaller. He says it's cast from an original, that's complete bull. It's not even close.

Hi guys, watched the superman film on saturday afternoon i think that thesuit is made from thin neoprene like they make triathlon suits from. I also think that the cape is made from rubber when he's in the rain and lycra at other times! The suit lookstoo thick to be made from lycra and makes everything look smooth like neoprene does!

Andy:supes:

[acook59]

also does anyone know where the guy making the suit got his emblem made? let us know guys!

[superman060179]

the cape is made from wool, and latex, they made a table with the design of the cape then they poured the latex, then put the wool on top of that

[superman060179]

have some more for you

[Costumedfreak]

Here is the first version of my Superman Returns suit with the walking cape. The flash from the camera makes the suit alot brighter in color than it actually is, i took the 2nd pic with the flash off. The second version of the suit has the much fuller flying cape, screen accurate belt, super shiney S symbol & the body lines in the suit. I posted some pics of the cape & belt from V2, i will post more when its complete. I offer the most accurate SR suits on the market right now so if you are interested email me at sircomvent@hotmail.com Both versions are availible.

That is a cast of my belt costumedfreak. Don't even think of recasting it and offering it to anyone! First it was the bronze armory's pieces you recasted and offered and now mine. I don't believe this.

[Costumedfreak]

First off JB im getting tired of your accusations, i can buy whatever i want & use it as i wish. So if i buy something then use it to create suits than i will. The is the USA my friend its a free country! Dont you think this is getting a bit childish? For some time now i havent offered single suit pieces only full suits! What is it with you? Because i cant think of nothing that would send somebody into a wave of hatred for me like this!

[JBrown437]

I can't believe you are debating me on this. Have you no common sense or respect? It isn't right take credit for another's work. All you're doing is taking my belt that I spent countless hours and money on sculpting, molding, and casting and you are passing it off as your own. It is plain wrong and disgracefull. The only one acting like a child is you. You should know better.

The belts were bought in bulk off a random seller, how in the world was i supposed to know it was yours, you cant be sure that it is unless you have it up close anyway. Look man these are my suits bottom line, if it bothers you that much keep it to yourself because im tired of hearing about it.

[JBrown437]

Nobody ever perchased these belts in bulk from me so how could you have bought them in bulk? And I can recognise my own work when I see it.

[Costumedfreak]

I think that says it all, now get off my back!

[JBrown437]

How does telling you that I've never sold a bulk order say it all?? Would you just please own up to your error and not sell/recast my belts?

[Wams]

I think that says it all, now get off my back!

Costumedfreak you are not cool......:down

Sorry JB.:csad:

:spidey:
:supes:

[TimDrakeRobin45]

that is absolute BS man. If you are recasting a piece and the person who sculpted it tells or asks you to stop, you damn well better. In the prop and costume world recasters are frowned uppon, especially people who do it and think its right to make money off of other peoples sweat. Yes this is america and we are free to do things, but we draw thae damn line at taking credit for someone elses work. Just because you payed for a belt doesnt mean you have the right to re-cast it and make money off of it. You would do well not to make enemy's in the prop and costume field. Some of us here go pretty high up in this game, and you dont want to have a bad name amongst us pal. Although, I think we are past that now with your blatant direspect for the prop makers who made you money.

[SuperIabou]

you know, as one of these kind of people myself (star wars costumes) when we sell items made off of movies we are really illegally copying DC Comics.


so who really can point fingers?

[zman]

true,its more of an ethical matter then a legal one. I mean I understand JBrown's frustration. On the other hand costumedfreak DID have to make a mold of the belt, than pour the latex, make sure there's no bubble, get the color right...there is work involved in all of that. Therefore the money he earns is not completely unjustified...To me its not so much what he's doing but how he's doing it that's wrong: one should never denie his source material. Its like in manips. You can use someone else's, but mention where you got it. It's respect.

[JBrown437]

I can see both of your points and I agree about the legality issue. But I don't condone recasting at all because it is taking the easy way out. Making a mold and pouring latex/urethane takes no where near as much craft as making the initial sculpt.

[SuperIabou]

well, I do say it is wrong to recast someone elses stuff and mass sell it. although if you buy something from someone, you have no idea where they got it from before they sold it to you, and its not your problem

[Costumedfreak]

This is by far my favorite costume that i have! The symbols & cape are made from strong flock material, not the flimsy patches & cloth floating around, its made just the like the screen version with the trunks attached to the upper suit. Ill post better pics with the suit fitted better on the mannequin when the boots are done!

Is that the Christopher Reeve style costume from Southern Wings, the Argentinian based ebay seller ?

haha, yep my life is the same, sew, think up new supergirl costumes, eat, sleep, find more pictures of supergirl...... its a great life....oh yeah...I have to play "engineer" from 9-5 every day.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

you know, as one of these kind of people myself (star wars costumes) when we sell items made off of movies we are really illegally copying DC Comics.


so who really can point fingers?

Hmm let me put it this way.

If you as a fan of Superman did a Painting, a nice beautiful canvas painting and posted pictures
of it on the boards and got some good responces about it, even people asking for a copy. These
people are your friends so you give them copies at the cost of material and shipping.
A short time later you find that your painting is being sold by another person, who you dont recall
selling it to and they are claiming it as their very own work. Would you be ok with that cause hey,
thats the game. No, no one in their right mind would be ok with that. Especially if the original artist
contacted them stating, "sorry but that is my work and I would appreciate it if youdidnt take credit for it",
only to have that person spit in your face and say screw off more or less. That is disrespectfull.
I work in the costume world as well and I have had to shut people down for taking credit for my work,
this is no different. Disrespect and lying cannot and should not be tolerated.


my 2cents

[SuperIabou]

Dude, look, I was just making a funny point.

I sell star wars costumes, and I would be mad if somebody jipped me off on my patterns, but what am i going to do? I cant sue them.

I dont know how to stop it, I dont think it is very ethical of them.

but your best bet is to email them to sort out the problem.

although I havent been keepign up with the problem, but is=t sounded like the person who bought them didnt know they were a copy, so I cant say its his fault.

of course who knows who is telling the truth. I would just sort it all out person to person.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

No I understand. I just dont like seeing hard working people getting taken advantage of. I have not interfeared save for my opinion, I have left it to them. It is just frustrating to see someone getting screwed.

[SuperIabou]

more and more this stuff just makes me want to stop selling costumes....

[JBrown437]

I appreciate you sticking up for me TimDrakeRobin45. It means a lot.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

No problem man.

[JackSlaterIV]

Ok guys this is sad. I'm a new member I was just searching for the Superman return suit online because im a huge fan, but obviously there is no Superman that holds the presence that Chirstopher Reeve did or even George Reeve. That is all beside the point. What is sad though, is this argument about somone "stealing" someone elses work. It is horrible somone can just buy something and resell it as there own on any market, but anyone with even a small education knows that if you make something and you want to be the only one benefiting from your products profits......you have to get a patent. If you don't, you have no right to the product...and the fact that your making these suits without Warner Brother's permission or DC comics, means you have no right to complain. So please stop arguing, you should only being making these suits because you want to be part of something that was and is always going to be great....and thats Superman.

Jackslata!

If you don't play World of Warcraft your missing out!!

Worst part, I bought a Superman Returns belt from Costumed Freak in August, and still have not received it.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

we are not arguing over the fact that the rights to the belt are owned by Jon ar anyone who is recast, but that in the costume replica world there is a code of conduct that we all follow. We all work hard and make pieces for ourselves. Occasionally someone askes if one can be made for them, wether or not that person descides to make the piece for someone else is up to them. This fellow costumedfreak has been asking for "help" on his personal projects from many different costume replicators. He has gotten alot of help. He has turned around and screwed every one of these people. Jon taught him how to make the Returns cape, Another member gave him some neat batman items under the condition that he was not to re-sell them, he not only sold them, but made molds first so he could make and sell more copies.

Is it just me that feels it is wrong to Stab someone in the back after they bent over backwards to help you? He doesn't only recast board members things.

This is the argument. I am not saying we have rights to these items, I am just saying we all have the right to comman curtesy and respect amung our peers, which he has shown many times that he doesnt care about anyone but himself. You being new might not have known this.

Say you are in a Ceramics class. You spend 2 weeks on a sculpter of your favorite comic bookcharacter for your class. You come into class one day to find that your project is being turned in by another class mate. You know its yours and this classmate knows its yours but no one else knows or even cares that it's yours and there is really nothing you can do but ***** about it. Someone else taking credit for your work is upsetting reguarldess of wether or not you own the property that you have used as inspration for your artistic ability's. To see someone else taking credit for your art is disheartening at the very least and if I see it happening I will not stand idley by and let it. I will do whatever I can to bring a Fraud to light.

well done

[fettster]

also, very natural looking muscle suit, need one of those for my spidy suit.

[Antonello Blueberry]

JBrown, I'd change the cut of the trunks. I know it's faithful this way, but it make you look shortlegged.

[JBrown437]

Thanks guys! That is my own symbol. I think the shortleggedness may be attributed to the camera angle rather than the trunks.

Hi Guys

New to the forum here, massive Superman fan, and just wondered if some of you could give me some sites to look at regarding The SR suit, im looking to buy one, and wondered if any of you guys knew the best place to get it?

[JBrown437]

ebay is a good place to look.

[Travis K]

I don't recomend a superman returns suit from javierschool on ebay. i just got one. the boots, belt, and emblem are very high quality. the body suit is very cheap and not durable. they give full-cut trunks and skimpy ones. i couldn't fit into the full-cut ones so i can only wear the skimpy ones. pluse the zipper in the back of the bodysuit doesn't go down far enough making it extremely difficult to put on.
the zentai spandex suits are actually better except they don't have soles on the feet.
here is my superman returns suit that i just got.

Hey All.
I just finished my Legion of Superheroes Superboy costume. It's an emalgum of a few versions of Superman and Superboy. The cape emblem and boots are Superman Returns influenced. The boots have yet to be painted red by the way. The suits colors and black belt are Kindome Come and Fleischer inspired. The Legion Buckle and Ring are just that. So this is my Legion Superboy costume!

I don't recomend a superman returns suit from javierschool on ebay. i just got one. the boots, belt, and emblem are very high quality. the body suit is very cheap and not durable. they give full-cut trunks and skimpy ones. i couldn't fit into the full-cut ones so i can only wear the skimpy ones. pluse the zipper in the back of the bodysuit doesn't go down far enough making it extremely difficult to put on.
the zentai spandex suits are actually better except they don't have soles on the feet.
here is my superman returns suit that i just got.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/travis_k/srbw.jpgCheers Traivs, thanks for the advice. Ive seen the Zentai ones on ebay, so are they pretty good ones to get would you say? i mean if it comes to it i could order the body suit from them and get the boots, belt and S elsewhere... cheers

[Travis K]

javierschool does an excellent belt. the embelem is good too and the boots aren't too shabby either. The main problem is the cheap body suit. Pretty flimsy, plus like i said, the zipper doesn't go down far enough making it almost impossible to get on over my shoulders without ripping it.

Hey All.

What a fantastic suit. I am impressed. The boots look awesome. Where did you get them?

Also make sure to make the S on your chest red.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

Thanks. I made the boots myself.
The S will match the reds on the cape and Briefs,
I just have yet to add the suede.

[Travis K]

what is the suede for? i just saw the same boots for sale on ebay.

[Travis K]

where did u get your bodysuit?

[TimDrakeRobin45]

on my suit the cape and briefs are stretch seued, the emblem will be as well.
The boot auction on ebay is mine. I am offering my boot making services to
others, not just superman, but any kind of hero boot.

The bodysuit is from my local Dance shop

[fettster]

hi guys, im near to completion of my returns print.

It has the diamonds and blue pinstripe on a jumpsuit pattern rather than just the material, i just have to make the pattern for the trunks.

how can i post pics on here so i can show you all?

[TimDrakeRobin45]

upload your photos to photobucket and then copy the bottom IMG code and paste it in your post here.

[fettster]

thanks pal. ill give it a go.

upload your photos to photoshop and then copy the bottom IMG code and paste it in your post here.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

sorry man i miss typed, I meant Photobucket.

[fettster]

thats weird because i read it as photobucket.

sorry man i miss typed, I meant Photobucket.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

I edited it, in your quote of my post it still says photoshop lol.

[Travis K]

has anybody bought a zentai suit? i think they are really good for the money.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

I had a zentai suit before, I really did not like it at all. I gave it to a friend of mine. They use cheaper materials and the emblems are always positioned innacuratly and stretched like crazy once they are on. The capes are also usually cheap thin materials. I hate that they have sewn on booties as well. I prefer to make suits from scratch, that way you get exactly what you want. Sure it costs more, but in the end its worth it to have eaxactly what you want.

[pwl4life]

amen to that, people always critisize me on how much I spent on my custom supersuit but it's exactly what I want, it's perfect. and there aren't to many things in this world that you can say that about

[davidnicholson]

Hey all, I'm new here... I have a Superman Returns belt, boots and "s" emblem, anyone having anything they can offer as to making the cape and blue suit with diamond pattern (i.e. materials, where to get it). Any info will help, thanks a lot, David Nicholson

[JBrown437]

I agree with TDR aswell. ;)

[TimDrakeRobin45]

Hey,
Post pics of your stuff. Would love to see it.
screen printing is the way to go to get the suit done right,
or you could go through the Bronze Armory, but their suit in my
opinion is waayy too shiney.

[davidnicholson]

What is screen printing exactly? I've heard of it but how does it work?

[TimDrakeRobin45]

It is one of many processes used to apply images and or designs to fabrics. Most t-shirts with words or saying are done this way.

[Travis K]

how much did u guys spend?

[TimDrakeRobin45]

My Superboy suit probably cost me right around $160 after shipping costs for certain Items.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

actually about $190 I forgot about the shoes used for the boot soles.

[davidnicholson]

So basically, I take the material (milliskin) and take it and have the diamond pattern printed on it? Then make the suit from there?

[JBrown437]

I just figured it out to be around $245 that I spent to make my suit. That includes the silicone to make the molds for the belt and emblem.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

That is correct David.

See John yours was not much more than mine, but with all the sculpting and casting Im sure it took a bit longer. It came out Bad Ass though, and thats what matters.

[SupermanRtrns5]

I just figured it out to be around $245 that I spent to make my suit.

See John yours was not much more than mine,

Hey i read these forums all the time but never posted, however i am looking for a good quality suit myself which is why i have to come out of the woodwork, however said you guys spent $245 on your suits, im not being rude or anything but youve shown me you really do get what you pay for because it shows that a small amount of money was spent on your costumes & they look alright but very homemade, distorted & that for a good costume you have to shell out some dough to get something decent. If anybody has a recent GOOD film version costume to grab please let me know.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

Boots are painted, still using the temp cape. New one is in the Works.

[davidnicholson]

JBrown, what went into making your molds for the belt. I have an emblem but it's not the best, what did you do to make yours?

[TimDrakeRobin45]

Jon custom sculpted his emblem and his belt himself. His belt is widley considdered to be the most screen accurate one out there. I beleive after he sculpted them he made silicone molds. The pieces are made of urethane. If im wrong aon any points Jon step in when you can.

Interesting tid bit the Dean Cain suit, was made from about $250 worth of materials. It was made by a Dance studio, not a prop shop.

[JBrown437]

TDR got it right on. By the way dude those boots are killer!

[Travis K]

after you make your suits what all do you guys do in them? I work as Superman at parties.

http://www.myspace.com/superman4fun

[TimDrakeRobin45]

Thanks John Much appreciated.

Trav,
I make suit for the fun of making them and hope to be able to do it full time as a proffession. At the moment I am making boots, and Robin costumes among others for my living, I have no other job.

I also like to wear my suits to conventions, I am very proud of my work.

I have done a few appearances for Marvel and DC and gotten paid pretty well. I wont touch birthday parties or anything like that as the corprate people at Marvel and DC tend to frown upon that, especially when I am trying to get in good with them.

[Costumedfreak]

I agree with you, you can definitly tell when a costume is cheaply made & to get something decent money needs to be spent!

[JBrown437]

Travis- I'll be honest, lol, I havent done anything remotely productive in my suit...just being a geek.

Yea its amazing what kind of money goes into the actual movie suits. To get something that is the same quality as that would intail spending unrealistic amounts of money. It all depends just how important having such a suit is to you. If you want to spend un-godly amounts of money, then more power to you. I have yet to see anything as close to what you're asking as of yet though. I've seen over-priced knock offs, but nothing worth shelling out the cash for, especially when similar results can be achieved on your own for less money and a little hard work.

what inspired you on making a Kingdom Come belt instead of the Singer belt?

[TimDrakeRobin45]

Well it was the fact that I am going for a Legion Of Superheroes Superboy, and also that I am not so much a fan of the S belt idea. It looks kool, but it doesnt belong to Superboy.
The Superboy Im doing is a mix of my favorite design aspects from costumes over the years. The boots, two tone cape and Emblem are Returns inspired, The colors are Animated series inspired, and the belt is Fleischer and KC inspired. The legion Buckle and Ring complete it and are a nice little touch that I love.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

I agree with you, you can definitly tell when a costume is cheaply made & to get something decent money needs to be spent!

I agree and I dont agree. Just because materials are not super expensive does not mean a suit is cheaply made. Cheaply made reffers to shotty craftsmenship. There is no shotty craftsmenship in any of our suits. Only the best materials were used in the making of Jons & mine. I used 4 way stretch cotton lycra, Sueded Satin, Leather and Rubber. Just because I know how to put those materials together without breaking tha bank does not make it cheaply made. The only thing on my suit that is cheaply made is the place holder cape to give me an idea of where the cape will need to fall.

[suprmnrtrns2]

Hello all,

I am new to the boards. Just recently found it and have been looking around for a while.
I finally found the thread I have been looking for concerning the sr suit.
This thread has provided me alot of insight on the costume as I am going
to start making my own (by the way, great suits to all that have made their own).
I now have sources as to where I might have my boots done, get the
insignia and/or belt ( if I don't decide to experiment with latex, haven't done that before). The body suit and shorts are easy to do. The only thing I am waiting for is to find a supplier that sells the milliskin with the
diamond pattern on it. I have already found several sites that have the
royal blue milliskin material, they just don't have the diamonds on them.
Although, after reading this thread, I will more than likely but the fabric
and have the diamonds screened on. But if I go that route, I will buy
enough fabric so I have extra just in case I want to make a second suit
or make an authentic sr "top half" t-shirt:cwink: .oOnOn
On a personal note though, I don't like the zentai suits. They are WAY TOO SHINY for my tastes.
So as I get my materials and start making the costume, I will post pics
and keep you updated on my progress.

Thanks to all for the great discussion/ideas and resources.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

Welcome to the hype. Keep us posted on your progress.

Let me know what you all think!?

[pwl4life]

can't see anything

[JBrown437]

looks good dude!!!

[pwl4life]

yup, looks really good actually

[TimDrakeRobin45]

Yea good looking suit. What pieces from where?
Belt and emblem are Bronze Armory right?
Cape briefs and bodysuit from Ricky from ebay?
boots look nice too!

[Streeter1981]

Yeah TimDrake you got it exactly! Bronze Armory stuff really gives the suit a "theatrical" look which I really like.
The cape, briefs, and bodysuit are by Ricky from eBay. They fit well and the cape looks great, but were really cheaply done and I had to do a LOT of upgrades to them as far as durability is concerned. His boots were terrible though ... made out of $8 Wal-Mart rubber boots and tape.
So I upgraded to some from another guy on eBay. I had to return the first ones he sent and get him to make another pair that was a specific color to match the actual red/burgundy I wanted. So there ya go. It cost $1000+ altogether, plus extra effort.

[Streeter1981]

As you can see, my girl was Wonder Woman...it worked well.
Also PWL4Life how can I make myself an avatar on here?

[spidey4fun]

Cool suit. I think you need 300 posts b4 you qualify for an avitar.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

ahh, if this is true, I am well on my way!

[Spamtron]

Hey Streeter, do you have any closeup shots of your chest "S"? I'm thinking about snagging one of those exact BA emblems, but would like to see a closeup before doing so. Their pics are too shiney to show detail, and I think the lighting in yours would show me well enough if they were larger closeup shots.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

Their emblems are nice, a little large for most people, but then again most people wanted the larger S in the movie anyway.

[Streeter1981]

Their pics are too shiney to show detail, and I think the lighting in yours would show me well enough if they were larger closeup shots.

Yeah man, check it out. This is the best I could do with my camera, but the symbol is pretty cool. It's big though, and if that's not what you want then don't go with this one. But the one in SR is way too small for me, so... The emblem has the little 's's that everyone wants, and the 3D look; but there were a couple little flaws in the emblem (nothing that couldn't be fixed or was too noticeable). And shipping from BA was fast!

What do you think? It´s simple, but effective! :yay:

[TimDrakeRobin45]

Actually i think that the BA emblem is movie accurate in size, it's just that Brandon has such a large frame that it looks smaller. It fits most us normal sized folks the way most wanted it to fit in the film.

I love clark/Supes costumes. Well done.

[Antonello Blueberry]

I still don't get why so many of you only try to make exact replicas of the movie costume, instead of making an original take on it. We haven't seen a sculpted Superman costume yet, have we?

[Streeter1981]

I still don't get why so many of you only try to make exact replicas of the movie costume, instead of making an original take on it. We haven't seen a sculpted Superman costume yet, have we?

I'm not a very creative person, that's why!! Ha well that and I actually really liked the way the new costume looks so I wanted one for myself! I thought the C. Reeve costume was boring, while the new one has a more theatrical look that I like. And the boots are cool by themselves!!

[TimDrakeRobin45]

I still don't get why so many of you only try to make exact replicas of the movie costume, instead of making an original take on it. We haven't seen a sculpted Superman costume yet, have we?

I did an original take on superboy, and yea there has been a sculpted suit made for superman. Looks kool, but its not my cup o tea. Im not a fan of latex suits in general.

[Spamtron]

Thanks for the pics Streeter... I went with the BA from that.

Blueberry - Mine with be an original take on the costume, although with quite a bit of the SR influences. I think all the sculpted/fake muscle suits look like ass, the only sculpting I'll be doing is getting myself back in decent shape. :)

What would be the best way to attach it to my suit? Which is nylon/lycra.

I have a few ideas to make the suit my own. Changing some colors around. My cape will be tricky. I've got a certain look I want to achive with it.http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:_K4w9SIpJvrLiM:http://www.ai.mit.edu/lab/olympics/99/cover/superman.gif (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.ai.mit.edu/lab/olympics/99/cover/superman.gif&imgrefurl=http://wisbenbae.blogspot.com/&h=1798&w=1250&sz=651&hl=en&sig2=R3SllWHqQ1Q4d6kAewUiPg&start=1&tbnid=_K4w9SIpJvrLiM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=104&ei=Ja7gRYjwFIKuhATiyv2wBw&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dsuperman%26gbv%3D2%26svnum%3D10%26hl% 3Den%26sa%3DG)
Kinda like this with the fullness...where it can fall down in front of me (kind of like Batman's) but also able to push it back and hang behind me.
Got some ideas in my head...will have to play around and see what works. If only I had a dummie to use...guess my room mate will have to do =)

[Spamtron]

Rage - since you're a Spiderman-sized fellow you may want to go with the Costumebay.com shield... it's 9" wide or so compared with BA 11" shield. Or even the $10 shield and cape sets like this
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?cpncode=10-36699702-2&dest=9999999997&product_id=4661244&sourceid=1500000000000002375470&srccode=cii_9686437

I think that one is about 7" wide...worth the $10 just to get the shield sizing for your costume anyway.

[Damien Rage]

Thanks very much Spamtron =)

That size should be perfect. I was at Walmart the other day and found this iron on kind of adhesive I'm going to use to attach the emblem to the cape.

Also found some glues. Super glue, something called goop (if I remember correctly) this might be what I use for the chest shield.

As for the cape...I really like how Dean Cain's was seperate. I have a few ideas for that. For the actual cape itself...I have yet to get the fabric for. Definately I want something seamless and rather long (maybe mid calf). Again, once I get the fabric I will play around and see what works / what looks good before I start sewing.

As for the trunks I will be going with something like this.

Hi everyone. I've read through this entire thread and I think you all have great suits. I was wondering though, does anyone know of anyone who makes and sells good superman returns boots? Or maybe one of you do?

Thanks.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

well the Bronze Armory for the last two months now was supposed to debut their Superman Returns, boots briefs and cape and have yet to do so.
Having no Idea when they would finally release them I made my own "In the style of" boots, that have a sneaker like sole, the same V cut and the same shade of darker burgandy red for my Legion Superboy costume. I also am working on another pair for a friend right now that are more Returns like, being that they have the "S" on the heel and the textured flap in the front.
Superboy boots close up

[TimDrakeRobin45]

thanks! as stated above, I made them

[Damien Rage]

ahh I did not connect you saying "I made my own "In the style of" boots" as in literally made...

I have no idea how to make a boot so my search continues... =)

[TimDrakeRobin45]

what exactly are you looking for?
I am getting rid of the ones pictured above
at the cost of materials.

[zman]

you are?! Wow I'd be more than happy if you could sell me a pair of those, SR style!! if you want, drop me a line, we'll talk!!

PM replied!

The boots are a size 10 so everyone knows.

[Damien Rage]

what exactly are you looking for?

Thanks for asking =^)

I'm looking for something burgandyish to match my cape and trunks. Once I get a belt I will be ready to put things together. Hope fully I can find some boots this week end then I can post some pictures.

[TimDrakeRobin45]

well then I would suggest finding a pair of boots you like in black and then painting them with Meltonian NuLife spray dye Burgandy as a base and then mist Bright Red over that until you get the shade needed.

[Damien Rage]

Tim...thanks very much for the helpful info. I haven't really found what I want. I think I need to take a trip to the mall...ugh I hate the mall. If I cant find anything at the mall I might just but some at a costume website and paint them to match. The boots and belt are the last things I need, and to attach sheild to suit. So far I've only spent about $100...

Dam I can't wait to be finished so I can run around in it =^)

[fender3]

hey guys. i just wanted to check in and see how people's superman suits are going. any updates? anyway, i just wanted to see if i could jumpstart this seemingly lifeless thread. i think i am going to start getting my superman suit together as i just got some extra money. i'll post updates when i have some.

[Damien Rage]

Hola people =^)

I found some boots I liked...they're not totally Superman-ish...but I like them and they fit with the look I want (plus they are comfortable). Finally found a paint that would work. Didn't come out alittle darker then I wanted so going to go buy a lighter shade and redo them. I played around with my \S/ shield too much so now I need another one plus tweek the cape alittle so to hide the shoulder strap. All in all I think it looks great. My room mate took some pics so I could see what it looks like. Should have some photos to shaare soon.

peace =^)

really cool travis!

Made a whole bunch of superman returns shields, and just started selling them. Long descriptions in the links below, but in short, they're as accurate as I could get them, while keeping them flexible and the right size.

I'm very happy with the end result though, being a perfectionist.

Unfortunately I'm -NOT- allowed to post my ebay links here as hype frowns on self advertising, however I can show you the picture/description pages i made for them regardless.

Good work anyway. :up:
Heres my suit that should stand out the most.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/knightseeker/eric_daniel2.jpg
No offense guy, but with your material, your gift (to build a suit) and your amazing John Stewart's head : do something in the Green Lantern style !!
I'm ready to bet you would look like incredible as John Stewart !!It's the first thing that struck me when I saw you! :gl:

That reminds me of the costume bay shield.

Can't say that I've seen those, but these ones are totally original. ^_^

[ANTOINE X]

By the way what is the origin of superman costume? :huh:

[Damien Rage]

WOW! Travis your photos are amazing! Great work! I did find some boots and painted them, but the paint kinda cracks if bent. I guess I should have gotten paint from Micheal's instead of Joann's. Oh well. Still trying to find some burgandy boots.

The costume bay shield is the same thing, either he recasted the CB or casted it from the dress up kit.

I think I found some boots! Now I just have to wait a few weeks to get them ($ issuses - long story), get another sheild...at least I will be ready for Halloween!
um...I haven't figured out to post a picture yet, but I have a pic of me in it on my myspace. AND...I dropped some pounds! Now I just got to tone up alittle. I know I don't have the right face for Supes...but I don't care...Superman is the shizz =^)
