Sure, I've created a loose version of this variant of Captain America before (click here), but I always wanted to make a fully representational cosplay of the famous (some would say infamous) 1979 CBS-TV movie Cap! So, come along with me as I detail the making of this star-spangled superhero suit! Click images to enlarge!
Above: The difficult part was finding appropriate 70s helmets! Luckily, eBay came to the rescue, with these two road-worn toppers! |
Above: The black helmet fit better, so I needed to swap out the innards of the red one, to better replicate the TV helmet! |
Above two images: Test-fitting the helmet! |
Above: The painting begins! |
Above two images: Working with various face masks, balaclavas, etc.. |
Above: Cutting a clear snap-on visor, to make Cap's own face-shield! |
Above five images: Crafting the helmet wings and "A" from foam board! All based on screen-grabs from the TV movies! |
Above: The finished helmet, ready to go! |
Above images: Making custom leather gloves! These were crafted for me specifically by master seamstress Kalliste Cosplay! Note the wonderful interior customizations! |
Above: My custom-designed bodysuit pattern! I designed this in Photoshop, then had it printed by an overseas firm! |
Above: The finished cosplay! I already had the custom shield, so... Pic by The Variant. |
Above: I just had to re-create this cheeky photo-op! |
Above: I also created a custom belt, made from foam board! |
Above: I found the "buccaneer boots" on eBay, which required quite a few coats of red vinyl spray paint! |
Above two images: I wanted to revise the visor (heh), so I found a face shield with the "teardrop" shape. Then, after a little cutting and fitting... |
Above: Much better! |

Above: Cap gets scanned for his own little mini-statue! The scanning folks nixed any clear objects, so changes had to be made! |
Above images: I decided to slightly revise the traditional outfit, adding sleeve stripes, a different approach to the midriff bars, etc. Lots of fun! |
Above: Using this cosplay, I just had to recreate the covers to TALES OF SUSPENSE #39 and IRON MAN #126! |
Above: Please don't judge. |
Above images: Yet another variation on a theme! |
