Steps/Progress part 1: [link]

NOTE: These pictures were taken after I had worn the costume to a convention. Unfortunately, there is a little bit of damage and wear (Indents in the breastplate from pressure from a seatbelt, damage at corners of some of the leg Armour from being worn, since it is made of fragile paper, as well as scuffs on finish in various places) Fortunately none of this is really noticeable or major. Before wearing this costume again, I may sand away as many scuffs as I can from the finish and put the second coat of varnish on. It was actually very rushed due to drying times and could have been protected more.

Everything was coated (once) with polyurethane after I had touched up the paint.
I am otherwise pleased with the final result of my patterns, etc.
(should remember to properly document my artwork when it is in it's best/new condition next time.)

Pictures aren't included in this collage, but the way I had fastened/worn all of this was by using velcro on the back in places that best secured it to my chest, it is also designed to fit snugly so it's a little more secure (I may put these pictures in scraps).

Planning on taking photoshoot quality pictures of this costume as soon as I canto also post.
