The amazing deadpool armor!
I wish I would have got this guys name, saw him at a local comic con in Michigan. Deadpool being my favorite super (anti) hero I had to get a picture of him.
GoochoLibre
That is one sassy pine cone.

Reminds me of my fish that had dropsy

I bet there's a way to make this suit so it turns into Spiderman when he's upside down.
PsychoWyrm
While I appreciate the effort that went into this, I think it looks dumb.
DrTacticalKeyboard
wouldn't you want the scales on the arms to go the other way? its too easy to get under them and do damage like this
LiquidLizZard
wtf
StupidityVirus
I saw him too! I have a pic somewhere, it was at jafax 2016! He was the coolest. He has a fb, look up scalepool.

And he shall be called DeathHug for every recipient of his deadly love shall cry tears of blood from their multitude of wounds.

This makes me uncomfortable

Where are the bananas?
tortfeasor
They were traded for scales. Or did you misinterpret all the "banana for scale" comments?

@op -living in Grand Rapids - which Con was this?
NeptuneMedia
This was Walshi Con in ypsi. It was just a small little thing. He's was the only person I took pictures of that day.

When you gotta travel back in time with cable to stop Mister Sinister but you refuse to sacrifice style.

I feel like that may have taken awhile
Obandigo
Ain't nobody got no time for that!
Koldfront
Looks like shit tbh, there's a lot of great ways to translate things into medevil armor... scalemail bodysuit isn't one.
AMigratingCoconut
At least, not this way. If he'd toned down the arms, left the head out, and added a tunic or something, then it could look good.
theadventuresofpotatoman
Yeah the head looks stupid af
GlassRose07
I've hung out with this guy at a bunch of cons in Michigan. I have a bunch of pictures of him proposing to me with a grenade.
NeptuneMedia
Do you know his name? Pm me if you do.
CowonS9
Eew
spaghettifacebang
Yeah, this grosses me out. Not sure why
CowonS9
Thank you, I thought I Was the only one hahah.
Wingmann
It's called tryphobia or something along those lines. fear of many small holes. don't Google it.
CowonS9
Oh I know what that is, and it doesn't exactly scare the shit outta me like a phobia. This is just 'icky' lol. No me gusta.
CowonS9
Thank you, I thought I Was the only one hahah.
skyshroudace
If he made it himself, the cost is nothing, it is all about the time.
dietderpsy
Can you make me a new house? It won't cost you anything.
DiedAndHauntingImgur
Because that much metal is free.
sloppythirds
Time is money, money is power, power is pizza, and pizza is knowledge, let’s go!
Zombraina
I watched all of Parks and Rec for the first time last year, and I think I'm gonna have to do it again. That quote gave me the warm fuzzies

What skyshroudace is getting at is that chainmail is actually a pretty cheap hobby, even when you start doing scale,source I make chainmail
Dreigiau
If you can recast and not just bend/weld metal, then you can simply check industrial dumpsters for cast off steel
Zombraina
I looked at doing chainmail a few years ago but it seemed pretty expensive to me.. mostly because I have no money. lol
skyshroudace
If you make your own mail by coiling the steel wire you can make a full suit for around $25. The scales can be any recycled metal.
NeptuneMedia
I didn't ask him how much it cost, but he said it took about 3 months to make. I was impressed.
Gamebruh22
I wonder if he will SCALE any buildings later
FourByFourAnimalStyle
Maximum effort
Zombraina
Fuck your username is making me hungry.
imjustheretobitchaboutpeople
I did a captain america scale maille costume - a lot. It costs a lot.
r2linad2
Did you hug him?
ThatOneAlienOnTheInternet
What Comic Con was this at?
NeptuneMedia
Walshi con in Ypsilanti, it's a super small just fun get together thing.
ThatOneAlienOnTheInternet
I live on idea outside Ypsi, I haven't heard of this one. Do you know if we have any big local ones?
NeptuneMedia
Not local the only big one in Michigan is Motor City Comic Con. Then Ohio has colossalcon
mpsnlSpaceSmasher
What did he make it out of? Metal? Plastic? I don't know how I'd go about getting the raw materials let alone assembling something like this

Painted plastic spoons
MichiFi
Almost certainly aluminum. You can spot the telltale color difference at the edges, and the coloration is Type II anodizing.
somedudedude
it is anodized aluminium, It probably costed around 100 bucks or so in materials
januskincaid
My guess would be something lightweight like aluminum. Unless he's heavily into re-enactments as well, then he might have made it realitstic
r2linad2
You just link the scales. Pretty easy, just tedious.
DanteWas37th
Probably Monster can tabs.
NeptuneMedia
It was metal I know that much. I didn't see him or talk to him for very long. Just long enough to get the picture.
shadowrunner03
looks like stainless rings with alloy plate scales. looking at about $3000 in materials to make one
egeaus
Its aluminum scales with jump rings from http://theringlord.com/ by the looks of it

If I wasn't lazy I'd recreate this one next weekend but I don't wanna make the cutout to pose with
CloakerJosh
Why would you need to recreate it? It's great art, not potato quality. Who needs a different version?
FishLords
He means with a cosplay.
CloakerJosh
Ahhh. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
Beckinpdx
*she but yeah I probably shouldn't comment after a few drinks. context tends to get lost.
FishLords
Ay, I've been on here drunk too, I hear yah.
