I'm about halfway through a casual Armorer costume build and I thought I'd share my progress.


This costume is meant to be a casual build for my wife for convention wear, but I still want to make things as "right" as I can.


I started with the armor pattern from SionnachStudios and knocked it out from EVA foam. I'm still new to EVA foam, but I think it turned out alright. I made a few alterations based on the reference photos that Art Andrews posted here. Then I Plastidipped it.

After some painting, brush and spray, and weathering with black and brown washes, it's starting to look okay!

Here you can also see the muslin mockup of the "apron" and the first draft of the gloves I patterned based on my wife's fireplace gloves.

I'm not totally satisfied with the fit and the weave on the shoulder guards. I'll probably rebuild those.

So far, I've finished constructing the apron, the helmet, and the top of the jumpsuit. More on those elements as I go.


I still have the belt, pants, and boots/leg-wrap thing to go!
