Credit to Tom Rose and Robert Mann for taking the first and second images respectively The lack of needing to resin or fibreglass the majority of the costume (Except for the mask) meant the building stage was significantly shorter, and could be done without having to make numerous trips outside to mix resin. With a completion time of around 200 hours, the time span was closer than I would have liked to the 300 hours my fibreglass Halo armour took, however, at least 50 hours of this costume was taken up in working out how to turn the armour sections into 2D nets, measuring the reference images, and drawing the designs onto foam. £5 - 50x Glue gun sticks (11mm x 300mm).A rough breakdown of the material cost is as follows. Other inexpensive items I used, but already had were elastic and Velcro, although these are available at a low cost of around £1 a metre (I used about a metre of each). Some I'd already purchased for use with my other costumes, like the thermal top, and others I had plenty spare after finishing (glue gun sticks). The build time was about 10 weeks (200 hours) and cost about £60 in parts.

Using mainly foam, this costume turned out to be far more flexible, comfortable and lighter than my previous fibreglass builds, and the simple dual colour paint job was both eye catching and quick to complete.

While tempted by the concept art for Injustice, there were too few clear pictures of it, so I settled on the Arkham Origins version of Deathstroke. After finishing the second season of the TV series 'Arrow', I knew I would have to make a Deathstroke costume.
