With grey trunk, I'd go for a beech theme, myself. (And thinking of the mention of "beech ladies" or some such in Prince Caspian - sorry, going off my memory of the translation here.)

@Lily: We'd love to see!

So this all started in Walmart, as all great stories do. I found a rack of superhero t-shirts with capes on the back of them and had to get one. I found a Robin one, and after I stopped screaming, I bought it. Fast-forward a few days and I have completed what I like to refer to as a Budget Robin Costume, meaning all items were purchased at Wal-Mart and it's meant to be funny, not accurate.

I also made a mask, which you can't see in the front view picture, so I took a separate picture of it.

yeah, i literally just taped some cardstock diamonds to my glasses.

Well, you guys just got your week's worth of irony and sarcasm and stuff. ciao.

*grins* Hey, at least the domino mask works with the glasses. I have to figure out how to make a Captain America helmet that will accomadate mine.

Those shirts are kinda cool, though. I've seen a couple, though never at Walmart....

Nice, Featherfish! I want to see that sometime when we're back in the States on furlough.
I've been thinking of making a low-budget Superman/Captain America crossover costume but haven't done it yet, mainly because I don't know where to get the things I need for it yet. You know, new continent and all that.

Where are you now, Hobbit? Generally speaking, obviously. Seeing as I'm on a different continent, maybe I could help somewhat.

I'm in South Korea. My dad is a missionary here.

Ah, yet another continent. So I'm no help after all.

That's alright.

On another note (I'm not sure where I should ask this, but it seemed to fit in this thread), does anyone have suggestions for how to make tolerable-looking lightweight costume armor? Does duct tape work?

What kind of armour are you looking for? Ela made the armoured portions of Honey Lemon's suit from Big Hero 6 out of craft foam. I've seen a kid-made Winter Soldier arm made with duct tape. Plaster seems to be a hightly-favoured method, but requires a good deal of work....
