Step-by-Step Guide: Creating a Winter Soldier Cosplay – Part 1: Constructing a Metal Arm – Including Free Patterns



Hey, everyone! I’m super excited for this video because it’s the first part of one of my dream cosplay builds – Bucky Barnes’ Winter Soldier! Instead of using metal, I’ll be using EVA foam with Worbla reinforcements. This entire project was made possible by generous donors on my Ko-Fi, and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support.

All the patterns for this project will be available for free download. Keep in mind that they were specifically designed for my body, as I’m a 5’5″ woman, so some adjustments may be needed. However, they’ll serve as a great starting point for anyone looking to create this arm!

You can find the free pattern downloads and a written version of this tutorial on my Ko-Fi page.

    Hi, Iโ€™m trying to create the arm, but I donโ€™t have much time and I can only get the primer blue. If I use the primer blue instead of black, itโ€™s the same? thanks

    I completed this tutorial and was so happy with the results!!!!! Your free patterns were such a big help!!! The hardest part was doing the panels and making sure they lined up correctly after tracing them, but it worked out! I really enjoyed this project and couldnโ€™t have done it without out this video!

    This is absolutely incredible! The detail, the process and the way the paint looks like metal. You put a lot of effort and the end result is so cool!
