Hey there everyone,
I was wondering if anyone would know a cheaper alternative to steels and metals for a costume that I was thinking of making that was non 501st material. The costume is mostly metal if I wanted to make it authentic but I know that it would be heavy, hot and expensive. I was told maybe polystyrine and Silver spray paint would be the way to go but I have a feeling that if I went down that road I would not get the same effect I want.
Does anyone know a blacksmith? Kidding...Sort of. The images below would give you an idea on how much would be needed and the equipment that I need. This might not be an ideal Cosplay to start with outside of what we build here but I would like to get an idea of what was in store for me if I went down this road.
Thought that it would be good so I could wear it at SupaNova, Oz Comic Con and the Medieval Festival in Caboolture every year. Thanks for any ideas you can give.
