originally hailing from Niceville, Florida and now living in Meridian, Mississippi…I have been making and wearing costumes for more than 30 years. My first costumes when I became internet connected were Jedi suits for me and my then 10 year old son. I eventually moved on to one of my first infatuations…BATMAN. Now at 57, I’m one of the oldest cosplayers that I know. 😜
Everything on the Red Guardian costume was made from found items and things I already had in my closet. I sculpted, molded and cast the helmet in urethane. The shield was made from a combination of EVA foam sheeting with fiberglass reinforcement.
Below is a picture from the 7/09 premier of Black Widow. Enjoy!
