Found a couple things that still need adjusting but other than that everything looks great and now I can focus on the rest of the families stuff. I'm not wearing the cape because I need help putting it on and the wife is at work. My daughter helped me suit up and take the pics. She couldn't do the cape.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Bigbat23)Tue, 18 Oct 2016 00:53:53 +0000 Re: Bigbat23's TDK foam buildhttps://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2343410,from=rss#post2343410https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2343410,from=rss#post2343410Looks great. nondisclosed_email@example.com (tailz20)Sat, 15 Oct 2016 11:19:42 +0000 Re: Bigbat23's TDK foam buildhttps://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2343407,from=rss#post2343407https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2343407,from=rss#post2343407Test fitting today. Gotta say I'm pretty darn proud of the way it looks. My knee caps keep wanting to come off. Gonna have to figure out how to fix that. I ordered my boots today. They should be here in about a week.

Do you hand sew it or use a machine? I ask because I'm thinking of doing a cape myself. With a machine. I watched my grandma and my mom sew when I was growing up then took a class in highschool so I can pretty much sew in my sleep. Lol. It's not as hard as some would believe. A cape would be a good starter project because you're basically sewing straight lines.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Bigbat23)Fri, 30 Sep 2016 17:12:36 +0000 Re: Bigbat23's TDK foam buildhttps://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2343239,from=rss#post2343239https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2343239,from=rss#post2343239That's awesome.

The templates I was using were kinda all over the place so I cut them up and modded the crap out of them and this is what I came up with. My cape is done also. I'll get pics up later.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Bigbat23)Wed, 28 Sep 2016 17:49:10 +0000 Re: Bigbat23's TDK foam buildhttps://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2343089,from=rss#post2343089https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2343089,from=rss#post2343089Quote:Ibnzbass4 wrote: I forgot how amazing your foam builds are. Can you remind me where you source the foam you use? Thank you Bill! I get all my foam from Hobby Lobby. I've just about given up on the thicker grey floor mats, it's just to hard to find decent once without a bunch of holes and gashes in them. Update time. I've been working on the mesh suit which proved to be a bit of a challenge. But I got it done. This thing is uncomfortable. Not very much "give" in the mesh. I found a more accurate mesh after the fact but twice the tokens. If I ever decide to upgrade this suit, I will get the other spacer mesh. But this will do for Halloween. I also added the carbon fiber vinyl to the triceps. Totally happy with how it looks. I will be getting back to work on the cape as soon as I finish this post.

I've been having difficulty getting the chest armor right so I took a break from it to do the mesh top and shoulders and triceps armor. I had to do a second top as the first one was too small. You probably can't see it in the pictures to well but it looks great with the gauntlet and arm armor on it. Now I have to find a decent pattern for the pants. I also ordered some 3D carbon fiber vinyl wrap.
