There are many concepts for Deathstroke’s helmet, but the main two have either the whole of his helmet completely smooth, or the right side of his helmet that covers his missing eye is raised with bumps that are meant to look like carbon fiber. Unfortunatley, I don’t have a picture of all of the foam parts before assembly, but this is an important step because I made a big decision. Next is the most exhausting part – cutting out each bit of foam with a blade so that all of your carfully cut templates are now in foam form. After this, I got my hands on some EVA foam (amazing material!) and began to trace the template designs onto the foam. So I began with printing onto paper various pieces that the helmet requires, and then cutting them out to form paper templates. Those familiar with the software will know what comes next but for everyone else, here is the process… Fisrtly I used a Pepakura design for the helmet (software I highly recommend if you haven’t seen it already). This is part 1 of my Deathstroke helmet for cosplaying at MCM London Comic-con. By squeezing my head through the top shoulder straps, I only need to close the torso around me using some more Velcro. That allows the front chest section to move independently from the rest of the torso. Here is it fully assembled, along with a picture of the elastic straps. These I painted fully orange to match Deathstroke’s.Īt this point, I had completed the torso. The finishing touches were painting some old paintball gloves that I had. I would recommend something else to wrap around the left leg just so that you can rest easy knowing it won’t be coming off anytime soon at a convention… or whatever else you’re planning for this outfit. I wrapped the right leg in a holster, which kept the leg together and stopped the Velcro coming undone. That way they won’t slide down your thighs like mine do. If I were you, I’d learn from my troubles and add some straps that loop around a belt. They have a tendency to peel off without reinforcement. The seams are kept together with Velcro reinforced with hot glue. The thighs are made from one solid piece of foam.
