X-men: First Class costumes?

Agreed. Everyone looks fantastic!! Greg, you could be Michael Fassbender's stand-in.

So, is anyone willing to accept commissions??? Would love to see where all this ultimately leads.
 
Thanks Rikkus. I must compliment you on the application of the scales AND paint. It's very rare that you see someone who nails body paint down... Very nicely done! I couldn't tell if that was airbrushed, painted, make up or not.. Totally awesome!. The mesh came out great too! Ahh... I just love this! I was planning to do a Mystique in this fashion, and I still will.. but i'd humbly say.. Im not worrrrthyyy hahaha!

Love what you all have done so far, everyone looks great!
 
Rikku,

Thats some amazing scales! Wowsers!

.. Hmm, still working on my knobs on the jacket. Here they are

Stuck on with magnets. Not part of the costume. Removable for now. But it fits the role just fine.
 
I have been following this thread for a while and thank everyone for posting hints and tidbits, which helped me make my Mystique flight suit :D

I did use a basic body suit pattern and alter it. Its a one-piece suit. I had to sorta "make" the yellow mesh by putting the yellow mesh fabric on top of a navy blue so you couldn't see through it since at the time I couldn't find any yellow mesh that wasn't transparent. I definitely couldn't sit in it and it was rather warm, but I tried my best to match the fabrics to the best of my ability (including painting the ribbed fabric black since I could only find it in green). A great deal was also hand sewn because of the types of fabrics I found and the multiple layers. What was down right impossible to find were the buckles for the straps - I ended up finding some black ones that were originally on construction knee pads and taking those off to use. I left them black because to paint them might have looked tacky, IMO.

Was quite the project, but I am happy with the results.

I am finally now able to view these at home as my work computer told me to pi$$ off for some reason. And I must say you have done an amazing job on two fronts. On the face and hair make up, as well as the suit! :cool
You ma'am...are a genius. :thumbsup


Oh and props to your friend on the Hank McCoy. ;)
 
Oh wow! These are some GREAT pics of Beast! Where on Earth did you find these and are there more of the other actors too? Fantastic find!
 
Crimotaku,
I noticed that the valve knobs on the abdomen should be about half the size as the center buckle. But otherwise the details are sweet.

Thanks again, Nick the Pic. :D

I am starting to think Beast was the coolest young member of the team. The older two don't count. ;)
 
Thanks again for posting some of the best reference shots for these jumpsuits. I wonder how well these designs will stick if they do continue the First Class franchise? As I am quite partial to them now. :D

Yep i know that, its re-used spare buckles. Like i mentioned earlier. Preparing it for a con, its magnetically attached. So its only temporary.
 
Hey all, some great looking stuff on this thread! I already posted these on a separate one, but figured I'd share here too for consolidation's sake :) These are few glamor shots of my Magneto getup from the 31st.

I ended up making a few compromises on the jacket and pants for time and budget reasons, but I'm happy with the general impression of the costume. I'm not a fan of how my jacket protrudes beneath the belt...that's one of the things I think I'll have to fix if I wear it to a con. That and the addition of arm and knee pads! I'm really liking some of the jackets other folks have been coming up with, so might have to try something more authentic in the future.

Helmet is a fiberglass casting of my original sculpt, harness is hand-made with buckles and (nonfunctional) ladder locks cast from original sculpts, jacket is a modified neoprene tunic recolored using fabric paint, pants are army surplus with a few modifications and zippers added. Boots are my hiking boots from North Face which happened to be perfect once the yellow trim was blacked out! Hope you enjoy!


I think the most incredible thing about this costume and shows your dedication is how you managed to even shape your face to look like bald Michael Fassbender. The resemblance (the third pic, especially) is, I guess you could say, uncanny. :lol
