Red Robin was formerly a FC DareDevil. I added premo to the waist, biceps,
inner thighs and calves to match the proportions seen in KC. His outfit
was sewn using lycra. For the top part, I decided to make it one piece rather
than sewing the sleeves separately. The pants, however, were sewn in the
same manner as the FC. The gloves were made from synthetic leather . The
boots were a major pain in the rear. It was originally a single piece of
synthetic leather with stiching to simulate the grooves (similar to what
I did for Capt Marvel forearm piece). However, that didn't look accurate
enough, so I ended up cutting strips of leather in double V shapes and hand
stitched them individually, one on top of each other. The stitching became
a bigger hassle because I didn't want thread to penetrate the outer leather
surface and show. As a result, I had to use running matress sutures to connect
them. Finally, I lined the inside of the boot with black lycra. The cloak
is also sewn from lycra and connected at the center using a snap. The belt
was made from real leather. The capsules/bullets were made from jewlery
rods (gold bugles available from Fabric Depot). The waist capsules are medium
bugles while the bandolier ones are small. The Red Robin insignia was made
from the firing disk from Princess What's Her Name. The belt buckle was
originally made from scratch using buttons, plastic rods, and premo. I made
a mold of it and recasted in polyurethane. The Robin rang is cut from an
old credit card. The head was sculpted from scratch. BTW, if you plan to
sculpt from scratch, my advice is to sculpt in the eyes before sculpting
the hood. It isn't very easy to sculpt in the wrinkles and lines around
the eyes after you've added the hood.
