This is my second attempt at BIG costuming (the first was my son’s War Machine suit also posted on this site). This build took 6 weeks of build time (7 days a week all day everyday!). I am very happy that it is done and believe me so is my wife. This suit is made … Read more
Ever since I saw Iron Man the movie I loved it and always wanted to make my own costume, so I did. I bought cardboard and metallic paint and some led lights. I really did put my time on everything to make it looked like the real thing. I used cardboard and super glue to … Read more
I just bought green costume paint for $6 from a costume supply store. Ripped up an old pair of khaki pants and put a wig on. This Homemade Hulk Costume looks a bit funny but works somehow.
This Iron Man costume is my first real costume attempt. The body is made of swag foam. Kinda a pain, because paint doesn’t stick to it too well, so next time I’ll remember to buy it in the colour I need. Anyway, the helmet I made out of cardboard, and covered with car bog. I … Read more
I’m wearing the Homemade Iron Man Heavy Artillery Costume. It’s a different suit from the red and gold Iron Man suit you see in the movie. The reason why I chose this suit is because I’m a big guy, and this armor is more tank-like than the movie and comic book version. It fits my … Read more

Since I was little I have loved Iron Man. When I heard that the movie was coming out I was extremely excited. I turned that excitement into creativity (in early May 2008) and began to work on an Iron Man costume for fall 2008. At first it was really hard working with the cardboard, but … Read more
This Wolverine costume started as a hooded fleece outfit from Old Navy. We then took pieces of felt and cut them to the shapes from the original Wolverine from the X-Men Comic books.

Several years ago I became very lazy and decided not to shave for a couple of months. In passing someone mentioned I vaguely resembled Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine and a Homemade Wolverine Costume idea was born! My first preparation again was to not shave for several months.

My idea was to build a movie-accurate Ironman suit for my four year old, complete with working LED chest piece and glowing eyes. The process began by building a paper model of each part which was subsequently fiberglassed on the inside to … Read more
