Juggernaut Costume Project

I have always been a fan of homemade costumes.  Though I have never been to a comic con to see the fandom in person I have always appreciated the love and care that you see in many of their costumes.

So in the spirit of comic fandom I started gathering all the pieces i would need to make my Juggernaut costume.


The fists were originally hulk hands.  I used some flesh tone paint on them and used vinyl.
 
I used foam and cut out the pieces that make up the helmet.  I did have to sew it together along the sides and top.  I then painted it red and attached some more vinyl.  I then secured upholstery tacks along the base and smaller ones at points around the eye holes and mouth.




















The rest was simple. Just sewing the top together.  The pants were a little tricky it did have to add a piece of painted foam to make the top of the boots.

The arms were done in three stages.  The innermost layer of the arms are made of white long sleeve T-shirts.  I attached the foam muscles, painted with the same flesh tone paint as the fists, to the outside of that and then covered that with nylon stockings.  And as for the boots I simply painted some old shoes with acrylic paint.
