Deathstroke improved - Arkham origins version

Improved my deathstroke, redid the helmet, made the sword, redid the chest piece (since it was small) added more details.

I also won first place at the comic saloon in Belgrade with this costume ^^

bonus - casual deathstroke :D




sword build

drew out my own template for the hilt, or rather the bottom part of the sword. This was drawn on sintra/forex, and then heat formed around the blade of the sword

the blade of the sword is 3 part sintra/forex, with the middle layer hollowed out and filled with wooden sticks, since sintra itself is quite bendable and not really stiff, so it wobbles..a lot

the grip of the sword is actually an empty bottle of vitamins i had laying around :D

cutting out the pattern into 2mm eva for the grip coat

grip asembled

the sword sheet is two part forex and eva 1cm in the middle , the metal pieces are from a hardware store, used for metal screws

new and improved helmet

i used a syringe filled with wood glue to fill the seams, this was a long  tiring process, but in the end, the helmet was without holes

first coat of paint

                   onto the final stages - the helmet and sword after layers of paint and clear coating

Deathstroke - Arkham origins - build

So durring the comic expo in Belgrade, i managed to make my deathstroke cosplay in about 5 days. Took a few days off work to finish it , but im pretty satisfied with the results. I won 2nd place in the costume contest, though a lot of it didnt fit properly, like the helmet which was too big for my head -.- so ill possibly redo this in the future, also in queue is his sword and staff.

my loyal companion gets threatened with the steel of my katana

my boot-feet plates fell off durring my walk -.-

 This is the process of my helmet build, all is eva foam, heated to fit the printed patterns..This will be redone in the future since the helmet is quite big on my head ._.

The helmet and the colored parts of the armor were coated in plastidip, while others which were originally black were coated in PVC glue, since its cheaper and im in lack of funds to buy massive ammounts of plastidip xD; The white parts of the costume however are sintra or forex (plastic)

Iron man 3 - mk 42 build - day 1 helmet

So ive been to the movies , watched iron man 3, and decided for my next project to be Iron man mark 42 armor. This is going to be tough, since ill be using new materials also, LED's.

Im using pepakura files found here, for the base /start, and ill be using  forex (plastic sheets) and eva foam for the most of the armor.

first and primary im using the PVC plastic called Forex or Sintra , they are thin sheets of plastic, found in hardware stores, i got mine in a storage shop, the size of the sheet is around 1x2m (Forex ), 2nd is eva foam which can be found in form of puzzle mats  or rolls commonly used for beach or yoga i think.

Day 1 - Helmet

After printing out the patterns on paper i started to cut them out from forex

Im using masking tape to keep the parts together to see if they fit

Also a helpfull tip, careful with heat gun, it  tends to  bend the PVC quite fast, in certain ways you dont really wish them to bend...

Using scraps of eva foam to fill in the 'thickness'  since the sintra is only 1mm thick

first blood, be carefull while cutting.... >>

Im gluing all this with hot glue, which is  kind of neat since it melts the plastic slightly and bends the edges, but also, can leak out. So i tape the front of the gap i need to merge so the excess glue doesnt leak out

Then fill in the inside with hot glue, without worrying it will drip in between and onto the outer side

Work so far, im still having a bit of trouble of the faceplate fitting the helmet, but it will probably set in when i install the hinges/mechanism that will hold it and move the plate off my face when i want it to.

i will also be filling in the gaps and bends wtih bondo so im not that worried about the slight bends in few places.
