Hello hobbyists,
Built something kind of different this time. For work we usually have crazy parties where you dress up like a fool.
This year it was decided that everyone would dress up like batman. So I designed and built my favorite batman costume.
I started with a random box I had in the basement to get the basic measurements.
I then built that shape out of foam core. To sturdy it up, I added guntape (duct tape) and coated the entire thing in spray on rubber. Printed and then cut the symbol out of acitate (overhead projector paper). I fixed it in place and then spray painted grey and then yellow over the stencil.
Next came the helmet.
This was a little trickier. I used a cardboard cement form for the basic round shape. I then painted the first layers of colour on it, stupidly starting with sunburst yellow, because I forgot that legobatman is pink in the Lego movie. I then cut out the mask in Eva foam and then sprayed it down with the the rubber spray. Luckily I didn't have to paint after I sprayed the black. I then found the expression I wanted and went to town with the black. I was worried that the white wouldn't have enough pigment, so I borrowed the girlfriends whiteout to finish the job. Below you have the finished product.
Hope you enjoyed another strange creation.
Happy hobbying!
Helbuck
