This is the tutorial for the Winter Soldier costume weapons harness.

The buckles I used here are different from what was used in the movie, but since I already had them lying around, I took a little artistic liberty with them. You can easily swap them out for more authentic buckles and fasteners, however. As an added bonus for female cosplayers, this harness can work great as a chest-flattener too, to give you a more masculine appearance.

In the interest of time, I made this harness so that it’s a perfect fit, not adjustable, but if you wanted an adjustable version, you could get one of those black plastic slider adjusters and attach the end of the strapping to it.

(Forgive my non-Winter Soldierish pigtails – I shot the final scene 10 minutes before I had to leave for the farm market, and didn’t have time to put on the full arm either, but you probably get the gist of it.)
