    WOW. (I love how casually you say "cast in simple latex" like we all could knock out something like this )

    Is the figure sculpt that you used for the base something you had casted from life? I just wonder how you got the sizing of the costume correct for yourself...

    That is definitely a keeper costume. Amazing work!

    (and Robin looks like she had a great time!)

    That is a life casting of my giant head.
    I used calipers to measure my body as i applied clay to the armature and then tried not to over eat for 3 months.

    I should have written basic latex rubber.
    I would have loved to have cast it foam latex but the cost was too much and it was done on short notice.

    First off, Bobamalz, welcome to the Forum. That was one awesome costume. We can never have too many Super Hero Costumes. If you'da come to our place WE would have taken YOUR picture! Also, Kudos to you for staying away from "nipples". I`ll bet that was a huge hit in your neighborhood.

    Great job on the costume, Bobamaltz, the sculpting is amazing. And, I have to say, that's the cutest Robin that I've ever seen! Did you two do the "Batman Dance"?
