Re: Kevin's Dark Knight suit sculpt TDK (zillions of photos!)
I've said this before but you have the most comprehensive and detailed build thread out there! I very much appreciate the level of instruction that you post. It helps me realize how much work goes into your builds. Great job as usual!

Thanks guys, I have been going flat-tack trying to get through the last few pieces of the suit, so hopefully not long now!
Cheers

Re: Kevin's Dark Knight suit sculpt TDK (zillions of photos!)
Ooookay, so I made the side straps that join the chest corners to the shoulder blades.
So I started by making a template from many photos of the movie suit superimposed with photos of other peoples attempt at this part until I was satisfied that I had an accurate image. I actually made a pair from foam to test for size and to wear to an event, so I knew I was on the right track. So first I traced them on to some thin MDF.
The trimmed backing plates
Sanded back edges
Then I trimmed my template down to get the thicker inner part and repeated the process
Used a wood work chisel to carve out the grooves
Glued them to the backing plates
Boxed it all up
The silicone negative and the silicone positive
The plaster negative
Took a black latex pull
Masked off the thin ends and painted with Plastidip
Made up some denim backed velcro pads
Glued them on with thickened latex and done!
