Beware my power, "GREEN LANTERNS LIGHT!"

[Peek73]

Sorry for the bad pictures but I love the suit BUT..........

As you can see the Lanterns were sewn in the wrong spot on the shoulders, AHHHH!!! So it looks like I have to start over, SON OF A MOTHERLESS GOAT! So disappointed, not sure if it's the seamstress or the file, Maybe I can just have the arms of the suit redone, here's to hoping.

Well since I am waiting on repairs I thought I would start sketching out my next project on this build. The power battery! Now I was going to buy one from another RPF member, but I'm who knows when he will have his done and ready to sell so just in case I figured I had better get busy. Here is the fellow RPF'er I am referring too.

Now I know that mine will be nothing like his, but I figure with some LED lighting and the ever popular EVA foam I can come up with something pretty freaking cool. I am using all of Luuke's sizes as a guide for my build. Here's mud in your eye....

Oh man, so awesome!


I've always wanted to do a GL cosplay... perhaps this is the year

Well a Guy Gardner or Hal Jordan is always welcomed! Not to mention the various other colors in the Lantern Corps.

Well after searching for the perfect ring I finally gave up and commissioned a ring from Batjeepster. I couldn't happier with what he made. It's perfect!

He does great work. He's busy so it took a little while, but man it was worth the wait.

Very soon my friend. Just finishing up the details. I was not able to get his lantern so I have to go with Hal Jordan's till I can find his or make it myself.

This looks like it is going to be super awesome. I look forward to seeing the finished costume.

Well I'm almost done. Here's a few pics of my arm bracers

Looks great! Curious to see how your paint holds up on them. The paint on my boots made it a whole day before cracking. Originally I was going to use the same boots but they look super plastic-y because of the large amount of shine.

Final pictures from the 2015 ECCC. I had my girls with me too. A great time

The boots held up great. Just put some Gel insoles in them and I had no issues.

I was thinking for some reason you had painted the boots as well. I'm thinking of trying to lightly spray them with some satin clear to knock a bit of the shine off of them. They're a little too glossy for my suit compared to the rest of it. Color is decent though. I've got gel insoles in mine as well.

I sprayed a clear coat over my bracers to brighten them up a bit. A satin clear coat would probably help. Just so much movement with the feet that I didn't want to chance painting mine. Good luck though. Saw your suit, very cool, Love the 52 version. I'm going to go with the newer version of Kyle Rayner that Gun Head has made. I'm just a Rayner fan.

Thank you much! I'm thinking as long as I go light enough it should have plenty of flex still. I had to do a complete color change so it was multiple coats of paint here whereas all I need to do is knock the shine down a little if I start with the green ones. Honestly, I'm a fan of all the lanterns, moreso Hal Jordan but I like the 52 version a lot.

so I have got a new pattern done by Supergeek designs that I am thinking of putting together. His work has gotten even better as the year has passed. I really like this version!
