SAM WILSON’S
CAPTAIN AMERICA WINGS
BUILD PROCESS PHOTO SLIDESHOW
A pattern was created in Adobe Illustrator based on stills from the show and the Hot Toys action figure. This is for tracing onto the EVA foam used to construct the wings.
A Cricut was used along with a custom hex pattern to cut shapes out of 2mm EVA foam. This would then be cut to shape and glued to the wings.
A close up of the hex shapes and kevlar texture on the wings. The kevlar texture was burned into the foam using a soldering iron with a flat tip.
Heat sealed EVA foam with detail lines burned in.

The main PVC structure that the wings use for shape. Hinges were put at two points to allow for bending forward to shield the user.

Concept for the back panel mount. Wings are screwed to the ABS panel which will be hidden inside of the jetpack.
