Rodolfo Brosch made a Thor costume for Bitte Karlsen and spared no detail in making the metallic looking armor from pink foam. He started by taking a plastic wrap mold of his friend’s head and constructing the base of Thor’s helm (which you can see below). With the pieces cut for assembly, he carved the detailed patterns into the surface before a finishing process that looks complex — he must have gone through a few layers of painting to achieve the brushed metal appearance.
See more making of photos in this album — it really goes step by step.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
