Now, lets move on to the end of my foamies crusade, which carried into '08

Here are the few pictures I got of my last foamies Begins chest, and a new The Dark Knight chest, both horrid...
The begins: It is now unsuccesfully mounted to a Under armour shirt. I had to wrap my body in saran wrap, and glue the chest while I was wearing it. What an adventure... Left a scar from a place I must have missed with the wrap.




















And another pic.


















I actually wore this to San Diego Comic con... Regretfully!

Here is my The Dark Knight chest piece. I used a method to make the chest 3-d. The templates were a pain to get right, though. It is mounted to rubber cabinet liner, to make the illusion of the mesh bodysuit underneath.









































Finally, I have moved away from foamies. Not regretfully, that's for sure.

2007

So first, lets start with 2007 costumes.
Here is the start of everything; a Batman Begins Foamies Chest Armor. I doubt I will ever use foamies again. Foamies is a thin, flexible craft foam. Here's the disgraceful pictures.
















After the first attempt, you would think I would stop, and realize foamies isn't my best skill. But NO, I had to keep going. Here is my second lousy attempt.Apparently, I didn't know how to use a camera either...




























Finally I took a break from Batman Begins, and went back to 1992, and tried the Batman Returns suit.

































That ends 2007 costumes.
