The under suit I used was originally made by ' Costumereplicacave'on Instagram, who also lives in Australia. The holster I purchased was for a Glock (I think) even though the one in the game is for a Desert Eagle, these can also be found on Aliexpress. The black strip that holds the 6 shells on the shoulder was purchased off Aliexpress, this was glued ontop of a longer piece of 50mm webbing to match the reference material - LINK to the product:Īs for the gun holster I also found this on Aliexpress for around $15-20. I used empty lip balm containers for shotgun shells because they were close enough to the right size and shape. Living in Australia I have no direct access to any firearm related equipment which this suit used a lot of. The gloves used were just cheap motorcycle gloves. I may go back and remake them and make them larger than I have now, but still smaller than my first bulky attempt. I ended up trimming the paper templates to make the forearms slimmer, but I'm still not entirely happy with how they look. I think this may have been from using the textured foam which is 10mm thick, making it look a bit bulky and out of proportion. The only part of the suit I seemed to have problems with were the Forearms. These were soon followed by the shoulders/biceps and then abs. I started the build by making the chest and back pieces. Getting everything to sit right and stay where I want it was difficult and I'm still tweaking things like the traps. I also ended up freehanding the knees just because I was struggling to get the right shape from the pepakura files. The abs along with the entire belt section that sits under the abs was freehanded. The pepakura build itself was pretty straight forward, but the freehand portion was interesting because before now I'd never done any freehand build. Basically every part of the suit that was going to be blue would have this texture, and everything that was orange would use the smooth surface. I did this the easiest way possible which was the reverse side of the EVA Foam floor mats. The neck seal is a modified foam Iron man neck seal.īefore production I had already decided I was gonna give it the physical texture it appears to have in the game rather than just doing a carbon fiber type paint job. I intend to 3D print the helmet when I get my 3D printed running again because the Xcoser helmet is scaled up too much so it looks a little too much like a bobble head. The only thing I purchased was the helmet from Xcoser which I ended up repainting the textured side to match the blue on the suit. This build was mainly created off Pepcowboy's pepakura files ripped from the Arkham game models, along with some freehand for areas of the suit such as the abs, midsection, knees and sword sheath.
My main source of reference came from Prime1studio's extremely detailed statue. Definitely recommend looking at my Instagram because im much more active on there There are still minor things I am fixing with it and want to change but I still consider it a finished build. I'd been posting progress pics and updates on my instagram but thought it was time to make a thread here about making it. Just under a year ago I begun production on my Arkham Origins/Knight Deathstroke foam build.
