Lightning FF Final Fantasy XIII 2 armor unfinishedby ~Zwielichtodin

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Costumes / Cosplay & Role-Playing

Here you can see an unfinished chest/back armor of Lightning (Favo Chara XD) This is my first cosplay that I made XDD
I know, it´s totally epic fail, because it´s too large and it doesn´t look like her armor. Maybe I try it again to make the bust armor XDD MAYBEEE XDD Hehe I´m so lazy XDDD But I wanted to have her cosplay XDD and I can´t buy it XDD

the only (cheap) chance to get it: self made XD
material: plastic, craft foam, covered with (thick) stainless steel foil

Edit: sry, I can´t make a tutorial because I haven´t taken photos of the process XDD
I wanted to show you the second version (how it looks like now) but the links that I pasted in my journal don´t work...
Anyways, the chest armor is damaged now (it was too large) and I can´t get the material anymore, so I have to visit conventions with a dented chest armor XDD Epic fail XDD

how did you made steel foil cover on foam surface O.o?

~Zwielichtodin Mar 4, 2013 Student Artisan Crafter

I have used sample clips (those clips that look a bit like screws) because glue did not stick

~vipkip96 Mar 4, 2013 Student Artisan Crafter

how did you forming it around foam ? Ò,ó ?

~Zwielichtodin Mar 4, 2013 Student Artisan Crafter

the steel foil is flexible (I have used plastic (wonderflex) for the base (by heating it with a hot-air-gun), that is why the foil keeps in shape)
I hope you can understand my bad english XDDD
