BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Costuming The Winter Soldier Costume

I bought some tape and this time it's the right one.

After 4 hours....

FINISHED! I did it! The arm that I made is very beautiful. Its color is light gray so I still need to spray it with metallic silver paint. I'm going to do that anytime next week. For my first serius cosplay, it doesn't look that bad at all.

Oh! I also bought a gun and some knee pads to look the part. Still deciding if I need to spray paint the gun silver.

All in all, not a bad day. ^_____^

-=-=UPDATE=-=-

Today, I have achieved more than I thought I would. To start things, I used the glue gun to paste the tape because it keeps on peeling. After that, I spray painted the whole arm and gun that I bought with silver metallic paint.

I let those cool for a moment and then I asked a relative of mine to roughly sketch the infamous red start on top of the shoulder. I then finalized the star by drawing on it with a red marker and then went out to find some red paint and brush.

After painting the red star, I let it hang outside to dry.


**The arm looks amazing and I forgot to tell you that I washed the black tops I'll be using.

All in all, I am feeling great.

Should I or should I not make a mask? I'm so freaking conflicted right now about this that I need to calm down or I would be thinking about this until next week. Anyway, now that that arm is done and the vest and long-sleeved shirt is already washed...I have nothing else to do.

Ciao! Until later ٩(๑❛ʚ❛๑)۶

I bought a black mask yesterday that only costed me 40 Pesos or $0.80. I washed it already and it looks great.

I also made a gun holster for my right thigh with some cardboard and duct tape. I painted it black and the outcome is badass.

-=-=-
I calculated for all that I have spent; that means the materials I used, the clothes I bought and the ticket. It amounts to $45 or close to 2100 Pesos. Not so bad on my second try cosplaying.

TOTAL COST OF THE COSTUME: More or less $65...

I'm quite proud of the outcome of the costume, I'll be dry fitting it anytime next week. I hope that it will fit well enough for the event.

Ciao! 〆(´ω`●)ゞ

It seems that my Winter Soldier Costume isn't going to be ready for the convention tomorrow. Bad news is that it's falling apart. .・゜゜・（／。＼）・゜゜・．

I guess I'll be going as Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. Good thing I have my back-up costume.
