I entered the daily cosplay competition, but sadly didn't win

This was my first attempt at making armour and I was VERY happy with the results, though I'd love to go back and remake it if i ever have time, since I learnt so much doing it. It's made from EVA foam (aka camping/yoga mats) for the body, and craft foam for the arms and legs and shoes. I didn't want to use spray paint, since it isn't very flexible with the bendy foam, so i painted it with a mixture of different fabric paints to get the right colours, after i had sealed it with a gazillion coats of watered down PVC glue and fabric glue. I then varnished it, since the fabric paint alone, while nice and metallic, dried really sticky and liked to collect dust and hair and fur.

I got a lot of compliments which were very appreciated.

YEAH EVA! Love that stuff! And your face is absolutely perfect for Lin!

How'd you hinge your arms, if I may ask?

Thanks so much!

The elbows hinge with something i found online called a "chicago screw". the top of the arms aren't attached to anything
