I started working on this when I started the tumbler. This is actually the second version of this whole thing. I wasn't happy with the first. I made this suit exactly the way they did on the film, which is foam latex. If you watch the SE DVD "cape and cowl" section, everything they did, I did. everything, no short cuts. not a quicky project. winding down though. This is a copy for Bob C., and he is putting together a KILLER display with it. done on my bodycast. Just whole bodycasting thing is massive because you have to make a master mold, then run a bunch of copies for various parts of the costume, and for various stages of the build. I sometimes think that the batsuits done like this, are as much of a elephant to eat as these darn cars. You guys aren't gona believe what Bob C. has done with his 95' car. I can't talk him into posting anything yet. this will blow your mind. Makes us all look like pikers.

Everything looks great so far What is the belt made of? Also you had said you used a 6 part foam for the positive body cast. What is that foam called?  Am I understanding correctly that that 6 part foam can handle being put in an oven to make hot foam pieces on?

I have done some head casts with my wife and she uses Ultracal for those but that would be pretty impractical for a full body cast.
