InArt: 1/6 Superman (Cavill)

The custom capes really elevate this figure even more @rory as always, thanks for sharing the process
Definitely think it’s Unreal’s cape. His is the most accurate. Jaxon’s is no slouch though. I would never pay for a Tony Mei Cavill cape again though—overpriced and the least accurate

Huh? Lol, why you gotta add the ‘sue me’ part as if you’re being apologetic with that statement?
The suits from BVS are literally the best Batman suits ever put on screen. I love all the Batman films and designs(even the schlocky ones have a sentimental value to them)…but none of them look as accurate or as intimidating as the BVS suits.

Not the best picture I've ever taken but in hand I'm happy with the result. Switched to a Jaxon wired cape and por.toys hands.

So,
I bought the wrong tape. I bought the picture hanging strips type tape which is not really two sided but is sticky on one side and Velcro on the other and requires two strips to adhere to each other.
Being lazy I decided to go ahead and use the tape anyway.
I am happy that the suit stretches so easily and still looks great, but I think this tape is too thick and makes his shoulders a little too wide. He now sort of reminds me of the shoulders on the Hot Toys Justice League Superman.

Agreed but at least you tried and know what to correct.
How was the process of adding the tape overall? Difficult?

No not hard at all.
The hardest thing was placing the outer shoulder caps so that they are both in alignment with each other.

You may want to remove those soon though, so the fabric doesn't permanently stretch out like that, and droop when you go with a smaller shape.
Here’s the tape I used. But some blutac would do just as well.

Yeah thanks, I actually saw some like that as I was leaving the aisle at the CVS.
Well to add to my shame,I also realized that I put the shoulder caps on upside down
Which explains why he looked so wonky.
Here is how he looks with the shoulder caps rightside up. Still probably a little too big but I think looks better than when the shoulders were upside down. But now don’t look as much like Cavill’s shoulders as your mod @rory
I like kind of like these bigger shoulders what do you think, do they still look too big or wonky?
I would also love to hear input from any one else who cares to share …in the meantime I will take of the costume until I have time to think about it and get feedback from you guys, thanks in advance …

How come your superman as two black eyes ?
Still too big.
Yeah, shoulders too big for the arm’s proportions.
It exaggerates the taper at elbows.
Also makes the legs appear thinner.
