Products Custom Superman Costume

[fender3]

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.

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.

here are the back of the boots I am working on to more closley resemble
the returns boot.

Tim those are some great boots! May I ask where you got them?

 

[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.

The boots are a size 10 so everyone knows.

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 =^)

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.

Wow, there is a lot of good things here.

Here is mine.

Your suit is great bud !! only thing : The emblem is far too big IMO.
Good work anyway.

Heres my suit that should stand out the most.

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:

Superman Returns S is far too small

That reminds me of the costume bay shield.

 

[Roken]

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?

 

[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.

 

[spyderfan4883]

That reminds me of the costume bay shield.

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

 

[Damien Rage]

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 =^)
