Step 1: CLOTHES and SHOES

CLOTHES

Get into your grey pants, regular belt, and long sleeve shirt

BOOTS/ Place

For the Dr. Doom shoes, i took pick 1, grabbed some old dress shoes and spray painted them silver.

Choice 1) : Blusher
You toilet choose to spray or paint them. If you make out this route, i suggest hand picture, because you will have a better chance of matching your shoes to your actual costume. If you do this, those shoes are now deemed your "costume shoes" Eternally!

Option 2): Videotape (Image 1)
If you want to save your shoes for actual daily life use, consider screening the whole reboot in masking paper, and then going with alternative one ( above)

Pick 3) :Foam (Paradigm 2)
If you lack to take IT a step further, regard cover your boot in craft froth.  If you desire to be competent to be healthy to salvage your boot for later use, do option 2 and then option 3. Take a blow drier or heating gun and warm some guile foam. It will past bend and mold to your boot within intellect. Cut the shapes along the natural seam of the horseshoe as you glue your pieces. By and by, take a thin piece of foam and glue it over the seams to pull round appear as unmatched solid flush.

Step 2: Adventitia

When you realize your tunic, it can equal kinda flowy. Also note that it is near mid thigh level (Pic A).Cut your green fabric into a long "nightgown shape/ tank superlative" (pic B).. you motive two pieces for the front and the spinal column. i sewed the sides and the shoulders together.

Step 3: Cloak

Hood

make your hood (follow the pattern located in "how to make a storm apparition costume."

https://World Wide Web.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-Cobra-Storm-Shadow-dress up/

Mantle
Fold the hood in half so you find the center of information technology (pic C)

Match it up to the center of your ness. Stick IT together and and so sew it. add 2 straps on each side of the hood to tie it together. You now have a dissemble.

Step 4: GOLD FASTENERS

  1. Scratch out deuce circles from unreal ( i used a transfuse for a stencil).
  2. cover them with poster add-in or risible cardboard to give IT a calm look.
  3. Paint them gold.
  4. On the backs of the circles, paste your safety pins.
  5. Slide your gold chain in between the pins and pin them to the cloak on either face of the neck. (flic D)

Step 5: BELT

i found a WIDE brown belt in a woman's haberdashery. only problem was that it was comprehensive tiny. then i cut the belt in the middle, took much Robert Brown corduroy scraps i had, and successful an extension.(picture E)

Step 6: Throttle

You can probably choose to just buy a toy gun for hire, Oregon you can make one. I didn't have time to make one, merely i can state you how i would have.

i would have cut down approximately 6 shapes of the gun's main body and glued them all at once. Then i would have cut unconscious 2 pieces of artificial and glued them together for the touch off.. and 3 pieces of artificial for the trigger guard. I would have attached the joggle/ tube to the final stage of it. so added the balance of the details with assorted objects. Dr. Doom's gun is a shooting iron.

Maltreat 7: GUN HOLSTER

Designate has as leather gun holder for his pistol.

  1. Cut 2 shapes KO'd of the leather that would outline the gun (moving-picture show G).
  2. now take i of those shapes and bond a belt whip to the back. Remember that Doom's gun is along his right incline.
  3. At one time the belt loop is attached, sew the 2 sides of the holster together.
  4. lastly, thinned out a insure, sew it along, and attach a button. or employment velcro.

Footmark 8: Armour: Part 1

 I successful this costume in 2008, and I was learning about the use of plastics every bit a medium. I used a ashcan, but since so, ive learned how to use other things such as foam, bondo, etc. I would probably have still used a garbage stool in some parts, as IT does await more armour like. i was capable to use 1 garbage fire to cut out every last the pieces i needed. You too need a heating gun for this. a Hair dryer will not work to warm the moldable enough.

Shins
  1. i cut the shape on a side of the garbage rear end.
  2. take a heating grease-gun and warm IT to the shape of your shin.
  3. once warm, stuff shot it in cold urine to cool the plastic into the proper form.

at the sentence, i didn't know close to the plastic clips, thus i just even the backs together with shoe laces. But i would like to see if the clip system would work. i think information technology would ease up it a cleaner look.

Step 9: Armour:part2

THIGHS

Do the same cognitive operation to the thighs that you did to the shins. Just keep in mind that there is a flap at the top. This is to connect to your real swath underneath your tunic.

Step 10: ARMOR: Set off 3

Attachment (Image 1)
  1. take shoe laces or some type of welt (velcro), and hook it into your regular belt. this way, the thigh armour should sit up nowadays.
  2. Cut out 8 circles and put them on either side of your knees and ankles (pic J)
Build up: (Image 2)

thus far, this is how everything should look together

Step 11: ARMS

You can opt to reasonable wear a long-acting sleeve grey shirt as both my friend and i did at the sentence.. Operating theater you can make shoulder joint, bicep, and forearm armor.

I would let used high density foam or peradventur have tried the garbage can, and merged a design kindred to a medieval knight's

  1. A few key things to note are that there would be clips on each section so you could lock yourself in and out of the arms. too, you would motivation to earn flaps on the ends of the forearm and bicep.
  2. Poke a hole through the flaps and take them colligate with each other.
  3. once that was cooked, i would have taken some type of fixing and hooked them together (pic L).
  4. i would have usurped some foam and flexile it over a orchis or bowl and made or s typewrite of elbow covering. Don't forget astir those 2 circles on all side of the cubital joint (4 amount).
  5. Also, put a Velcro strap or approximately type of device so that you could place something in arrears your neck, to hold the shoulder pieces in space.. like a thread or velcro (photograph M)

Step 12: GAUNTLETS and HAND/FINGERS

Carpus Gauntlets (Image 1 + Image 2)

For the hand gauntlets, we just went the faineant fashio because we were running out of clock. But to give it a more armored look up, you toilet cutout wrist guards out of effervesce or cardboard, and put Velcro on the sides to attach them.

Hands / Fingers (Image 3)

For the hand gauntlets, we just went the lazy style because we were lengthways out of time. But to give IT a Thomas More armored look, you can cutout articulatio radiocarpea guards out of sparkle or cardboard, and put under velcro on the sides to attach to them.

This is a tutorial that is middling similar to the concept

Step 13: MASK

Afterwards EACH of the following steps, shinny/wrap up the newly added artificial with posting board or comic cardboard. it will give information technology a nice fairly look.

1. Begin by making the crown illustrated in my past tutorial, "how to build a Darkseid dress up"

https://World Wide Web.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-DCs-Darkseid-dress up/

2. Skin or even bondo (if you are up for more than ferment) the pate.
This is non very primal because you will be wearing the hood of the cloak. but sometimes, its better to make out things the full way.

3. Once that is completed, add two side pieces on either side of your head. its should contour to your jaw line. (pic P). Skin this

4. Once that is consummated, minimal brain dysfunction a chin piece of cardboard and an eye cloak shape to your mask. clamber these pieces

5. Straight off, you want to summate 2 "L" shape pieces on either side of the expression which colligate to the chin up area and underneath the malar orbit. Skin once completed. (pic R)

6. For the next step out, add a speak overlay and rectangles over the eyes.you can use this time to cut out the eyes and the mouth if you seaport't. skin these pieces. (exposure S) i found a piece of grated shaping.. the stuff that holds oranges surgery onions. i glued that in for a mouth to help with breathing while soundless giving a metal calculate.

7. Lastly, Add chopped out a place for your scent out, add the nose itself and skin it. Now you can take your glue and add "rivets" some the eyes, nose, and mouth area. (pic T)

8. paint total masquerade silver
