RavenAus Report post Posted August 6, 2014 I had someone ask me could I make a Batman cowl for his cosplay. It's of a very dieselpunk type Batman with a duster jacket and a definite biker look (Can you tell I'm not a comic geek?) Anyway, this is what I came up with. Ok, so the beard just doesn't go... But here it is, the Mk II Batman Cowl! This one is machined with the 'Cranky Ba*****d' ™ hand-cranked sewing machine, and while possible, this is not really the best option. This needs to be either riveted or hand sewn, as the machine simply cannot reach a lot of the areas without distorting the stitching lines - imagine sewing up a bowl, and you'll understand! For a prototype though, I didn't want to spend so much time hand sewing, and even riveting is a pain as the inside areas are a pig to get to even on my anvil horn. That said, I am pleased with the outcome All this needs is a pair of goggles and you're set! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MonicaJacobson Report post Posted August 7, 2014 Cool, I really like the details on the back. Well, the front too, but the back looks awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavenAus Report post Posted August 8, 2014 Thanks The back detail was a happy accident really but it looked good so stayed in the final design Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
