I -might- have to take you up on the offer, SSP, just because I love how your automail turned out . I'll PM you about it once the time to start working on Nue gets closer (need to get home first for Spring Break and rally up my income, oh boy is that jacket going to cost a few pennies).

ohohoh for people working on regalia craft foam is like god!!!!

I just finished the construction of the some 50 pieces for both the agito and akito in our group... so ya there is only 25 per pair of skates. I just put pictures up of all the pieces . http://www.cosplay.com/gallery/76884/

but if you use craft foam I wouldn't suggest shaping it with an iron ... not for regalia anyway because they have sharp edges and you don't get that by heat shaping. So I would recommend drawing out the pieces cutting them apart and then bevelling the edges and supergluing them back together. Its a long process but well worth the effort.

But ya for my own cosplay though I finished 1 version of ringo already though Im not to thrilled with it . But I am working on the vol. 6 cover of her for MTAC. Then I am also finishing up my kaito for momocon. ... after those 2 I think in the summer sometime im going to make yet another ringo so I can make the thorn regalia .

I'm currently working on an Akito costume, the manga version, and trying to figure out a way to make some AT's like Agito's. So far it's been pretty tough, -_-;

Soshen- a regalia like A19's is the best way to go. I think it looks great, and you don't need metal-shaping or any excessive tools, plus craft foam is ridicously cheap and awesome to use.

I was going to originally do the entire regalia for Nue with craft foam, but because his regalia is his entire body (or at least most of it), I wouldn't be able to move. My friend was advising using a type of vinyl with a mix of other sewing techniques that are beyond me to replicate the mechanical-organ/Terminator-type of look that Nue has. I'm going to try both SSP's Ed-esque arm process for Nue and a craft-foam only version for the claws, and see what goes better.

As for Lind, cause I want to cosplay him to, I think his costume is entirely blue. I'm basing this off of - http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/193/013-014/ WARNING, SPOILER-TACULOR.

The pants and shirt have the same tint to them, and they seem to be either dark gray, or more likely, blue, as the color used by Oh!great is the same as the hair hue.

OMFG!!! You're making the CAGE!!!!

[TybaltFlux]

A CAGE!? You win, Cloaked, you win.

P.S. Rosabella, I had an amazing time with Kanon, thankies for taking up the shirt request again! TTT represent!

[Elendriel]

HAHA yes yes I am

I'm going to make it collaspable so I can carry it around easily (I don't want something bulky that ppl would run into) but it will be big enough for one person to sit *cough* Agito/Akito *cough*

mwaha

[rosabella]

Glad you liked it ^^

[Elendriel]

WHAAAAAAA I want more anime >.<

At least I'm a good chunk of the way into the manga, but I still love seeing it anime-style, the AT battles are more exciting that way
