The incredibly complicated manga version of Guts required a lot more creative fluting and plastic-bending than the TV version of his armor had. At least the cape was easy to make (A length of cotton fabric with a few shabbily artistic holes ripped into it.)

I had to make the dagger and most of the pouches from scratch. The leg armor also took a lot of adjusting and re-adjusting as it was complicated and form fitting. I believe it was during this project that I discovered that beads of hotglue dropped onto a plastic surface will look every bit as good as metal studs (and are way, way cheaper...)
