Black Widow

Black Widow

Black Widow was made with fabric painted SHIELD badges on a stretch fabric costume. The belt buckle and bracelets were hand-carved. The rest of the buckles, the gun and the holsters were 3D printed.

Wolverine

The duct tape Wolverine X-Men Uniform is around 90% tape (all duct / duck tape) - silver inside, black outside and clear to hold the orange string. The other 10% is foam, velcro, string, buckles, leather gloves/boots and cast resin claws. Wolverine was the winner of the Polaris 2010 novice division and workmanship awards.

3D printed tape iron man

Iron Man

My 1st and 2nd version of my Iron Man armor were based on bristol board covered in red/gold duct tape. The 2nd one used pepakura for better shaping and replaced some pieces with foam for more flexibility/durability. The Arc Reactor was custom made with LEDs, cast arc ring and optional battery compartment back (4AAA). The 3rd version is mostly made out of 3D printed parts, using the Roan X helmet for now.
