So another Erza armor. Once again it is made out of foam (couple diff kinds this time: craft, upholstery, and insulation) and cardboard. It is super glued then hot glued together. I then took it and spray painted it with enamel to get the nice glossy finish.I also tried my hand at resin gems this time (there is one in the chest and one in the large arm) and I like the way they have turned out, they have LEDs located below them that makes them light up . The large right arm is puppet like and has articulated fingers.
Mobility is quite limited, stairs must be taken one at a time and I can only bend enough to see my feet , and sitting is a no no. Also, no breathability with craft foam but excellent at soaking up the sweat (yuck, not a pleasant experience upon removal, I assure you). But really really light and no real skin irritation due to rubbing because it is so soft.
I loved the way it turned out!
I'm also in MLZStudio's latest video! check it out!
