Ummm, can i ask you something what if it rains.... I could problaby use paint protector I have a lot of that but the foam would it like turn all soggy?

Narayu Featured By Owner Sep 17, 2011 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

umm, water is a bad for costumes, everytime.
paint protector is a good idea but I'm afraid about paint and foam.
foam become hard with paint and glue, but i think that water destruct the effect

KarlinaXimi Featured By Owner Sep 17, 2011 Hobbyist Interface Designer

Hmmm... I guess but I will still try on finishing teh armour then thanks ^.^

vereai Featured By Owner Feb 5, 2010 Hobbyist Photographer

Well I'm not gonna cosplay Zelda but I've still always wondered how the armor is made for other cosplays. 8D Thank you so much!

Narayu Featured By Owner Feb 7, 2010 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

what costume ?? Zant from Twilight Princess ??
if it is, I used the same method but I made a pattern only for that (and the helmet is constructed with lot of parts !

) It was very complicate part of costume !

vereai Featured By Owner Feb 8, 2010 Hobbyist Photographer

Oh, not really Twilight Princess. From Zelda I've so far reached my goal and cosplayed as Malon but there are several times that I have concidered some cosplays but had no idea how to fix some details. Now I'll be able to do a lot more out of my costumes. 8D Just gotta find a new cosplay to use this on. XD

Narayu Featured By Owner Feb 8, 2010 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

OK !

I wish you to find a nice costume to make !

and I would like to see the result !

vereai Featured By Owner Feb 8, 2010 Hobbyist Photographer

I'll let you know.

I am glad that my work could serve to someone, I know it's hard to find explanations for certain that we would like to make but for which there was not much help! (I had very difficult when I started because I did not reference or model) then if I can help, I'm pleased!
