Probably one of my greatest armoring challenges to date. I created this armor using my

foam and plastic sheeting method, which made it lightweight yet durable. The most difficult aspect of this project was, by far, getting all the pieces to fit together smoothly and in such a way that the person wearing this armor could still move their arms and legs. (And walk without tripping. injuring themselves and filing a lawsuit against me.)

This costume's biggest non-construction-related headache: locating a place online where I could buy 16 small identical buckles for the armor straps. (I eventually stumbled upon tandyleather.com which shipped them out to me fairly quickly. I highly recommend 'em.) I also had trouble locating decent reference pics as, aside from one official character sketch and in-game screenshots, they were few in number. The finished armor ended up being an amalgamation of the in-game image and the character sketch, as they differed slightly from each other. (I just picked and chose what seemed the easiest to do from both sources.)

Estimated time I spent on this project: Around 50-60 hours. Definitely not one for the commitment-phobic...
