Couple of suit upgrades... batman, superman, and thor


been MIA for a while, but figured I'd hop back on here and post a couple of suit upgrades :)

recently I added a new S and belt to my superman....
started with a basic cosfun.net suit and took the old S off, found a paint that (mostly) sticks to urethane, and brightened up the S
Image

few hours of placement, pencil tracing & erasing, foamie cutting, and a bit of superglue gel later, I had this mounted:
Image

throw in the urethane belt:
Image

overall, I'm pleased with how Supes turned out... so pleased I stumbled across a pair of vintage frames and couldn't resist:
Image
Image
Image


I also redid my Alex Ross Batman...
KMD cowl, regular canvas belt, repainted my resin Dead End buckle and attached it... I like the turnout:
Image

and ya just gotta love the joy of a hybrid rigid/fabric cowl.. neck movement, increased hearing... and beautiful shots like this:
Image


then of course we have thor...
using the same wig as before, but with a Disguise helme (hammer not pictured)
Image

and the new add-on for him... armor-grade chainmail sleeves:
Image
Image

grand total cost of the upgrades... $25 over 3 months. :)

The sleeves are, I'd say between 2 and 5 lbs each.
