Hi guys I am still here just been lurking in the shadows doing some reserch and making my mind up on my costume/armour.
So today is the day me and my friend have started to make the armour using heavily modified papakura files and foam camping mats.
I plan to show you all the progress of the build as as this is my 1st ever build.

All of the parts my friend and I made yesterday took a long time and I am impressed.
All I need to do now is a few finishing touches and seal it and paint it
