I went for the Mk VI - only 16 pages and 70something parts. They call it a HOT glue gun for a reason. The sad part is that once the resinfiberglassbondo is done, the lights will be drilled out for LEDs and the rebreather area for actual tubing.
All that work and gluing itty-bitty tabs. My original thought was to keep them separated until the resin process so that they would be a bit more solid and easier to work with. Then I realized that should they harden in a shape that I couldnt match upglue the remaining tabs together.
Granted, it turned out to be larger than I expected as youll see below. On the inside I sprayed a few coats of black plasti-dip rubber spray to make it softer for the head. I popped out the lenses from a pair of dollar store sun glasses, and trimmed them down with a dremmel. I glued them into place, but only on the inside and outside corners, that way some air could get inside while i wore it, and that would help prevent it from fogging up.
To finish off the hood, I painted the line that I filed out black with a sharpie. It was much easier than trying to tape and spray paint it. I also had a pair of 10 dollar bluetooth speakers that I took out of a bluetooth head band and glued them inside First, I had an old baseball catchers chest piece that was perfect for the shape for my project. I figured all I needed to do was copy the shape of the top pectoral pieces on some kraft foam sheets and glue them on to it.
I printed out the red hood bat symbol and adjusted it's size until I thought it fit the best. Tracing it on top of some more kraft foam, I cutted it out, painted it red and glued it on top. It looked decent enough, not professional, but decent. The more I wore it around, the more it bended and than it eventually ripped.
Which forced me to rethink my approach. I cut the pectoral pieces off of the catchers plate and traced the shapes onto some EVA foam boards. I took the bat symbol and traced it onto the foam as well. I then took the bat symbol piece, placed it on top of the Pectoral pieces, being careful to make sure it was even.
I traced it's symbol onto it and used my razor blade to cut out the symbol from the pieces. My bat symbol ended up sitting nice and snug inside of the pieces, and everything fit on the catchers plate. The bat symbol I painted with red plasti dip, and the outside with black plasti dip, and hot glued everything onto the chest piece. I'm actually amazed at how well of a bond hot glue creates with EVA foam.
With the pieces now made with EVA foam and coated with flexible rubber, it has become very durable. It can take the abuse of a 3 day con and only need small touchups with paint. For this piece, I first traced my ankle on a large piece of poster paper, and trimmed it until it fit right.
I placed the paper on the EVA foam board, traced it and cut it out. One of the best things about EVA foam is how easily it is to mold with a heat gun. When you heat up the foam pieces and fold it over you ankle as it cools, it will retain the shape that you hold it in. So using this method, I took the traced foam pieces, heated them, and folded them against my ankles.
It might take a few tries, heating the inside and outside, but it will hold it's shape in the end. You just need to have tenacity. I traced lines every 6 inches and cut out small lines with a dremmel tool. I followed the designs that was used in various red hood and [new 52] nightwing comics, as red hood's armor design changes constantly throughout the comics.
The ankle guards attached in the back with velcro and elastic. The glue on the velcro strips isn't that great, so to keep it in place on the elastic, I simply used a stapler to attach it. As for the boot covers I kind of winged it; of course I used my shoe and cut out several pieces of paper to make a template. In the first few pictures, the black foam was cut out from the kraft foam sheet and the bluer thicker pieces were cut out from EVA foam.
Everything was attached with hot glue, and i added elastic straps at the bottom to make it easily slip on and off of my shoe, while also keeping it in place while I wore them. For the knife and gun holster I created a design out of cardstock and painted it with epoxy resin to make it more durable. For looks I cut and glued some kraft foam around it's edges.
To attach it to my legs I bought some old belts from a local goodwill, cut it to fit with scissors to fit around my leg.
