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.

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

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!

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.

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!

Ok, this is me in Halloween disguised as Clark Kent / Superman. Hope you really like it!

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

 

[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.

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!!

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.

The dude on the right looks like Liam Neeson.

 

[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.

Greetings. Great suits! I am about ready to make my own. Just have a few questions...the emblem should I get the SR version? (which will probly best suit me as I'm 5'4" 165 #)

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.
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/prod...id=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.

 

[The Man Of 16]

ROTFLMAO OMFG OMFG ROTFLMAO LMAO

 

[Spamtron]

Rage - goop works great for leather, haven't tried it on fabric yet though...

 

[Damien Rage]

Cool. Once again thank you for the info Spamtron. I will find out before I start anything and make a mistake.
My \S/ should arrive within the week. I got a friend of mine who will stand is as a dummie.
I have about 10-15 more pounds I want to drop before I start excersisng and getting back in shape.

Peace all

=)
