I basically followed EvilFX's blog
[link]

It has some great step-by-step processes on there

I also used the Male armour patterns from

[link]

and modded the female patterns from the males ones

Thankyou so much! Its nice to see cosplayers who share their work and give tips to unskilled civilians like myself ^^, you've been super helpful, thankyou!

*looks at gallery* unskilled...? No I think I'm more unskilled in comparison

Are you thinking of building yourself at set of femShep armour then, to continue the Bioware cosplay theme? (Great Isabella by the way )

thankyou, but its all held together with fabric glue and hope XD

I'm doing Samara, but my partner really wants to do Shepard. A friend is doing Garrus as well, so it would all tie in nicely for a convention. My costume is essentially sorted, but my partner and friend are having some problems with regards to armour, so I thought I'd swoop in to the rescue and deliver research XD

Kitacon (45 days away! )

Are they going to making them out of foam or?

Hit me up if you get stuck with something (though I wish I could ask someone question when I get stuck )

Amazing work, mind blowingly good design !

Manjou In reply to OzzyMcRcky [2011-09-11 10:37:22 +0000 UTC]

Heh, I was thinking of changing those boots, the ones I'm wearing are far too shiny for Shepard. But I got them really cheap and I didn't have a lot of time so I just stomped about in them

Thanks for saying that it looks good though

What did you two use to make that armour? I wouldn't think that was foam until I saw the comments further down.

Manjou In reply to axenblade [2011-09-06 18:09:24 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it's foam, 15 meters(ish) per costume

Go for it 's blog [link] is the place to go for all things N7 armour. I printed out the (fem-shep) patterns he posted on his blog and set to work on the EVA foam. Good luck making yourself a suit

Well, its all a go now and its all your fault! Ive been studying 's blog and with a few minor adjustments, i hope it doesnt come out too bad as its my first attempt at this kind of thing. And ive just found that working at a hardware store does have its benefits for things like this
