The slowest N7 armor build in history IIby ~hsholderiii

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Costumes / Cosplay & Role-Playing

Alright, I'm happy to say I made some progress this week!

- Attached the lower back to the central torso. I had to leave the outermost edges unattached for now. The chest core was a bit too difficult to get in and out of. I am going to install small clasps for the tips to lock the edges in place.

- Attached the upper back weapon mounts. Nothing fancy here, just used a sheet of black 3mm foam as a buffer to attach the part. The holes for the lights need to be drilled in.

- Created the upper legs. I thought these would take longer honestly. I have some painters tape holding the shape until the strapping and buckles arrive later this week.

Not much left to build now.
- Still need to finish heat forming the visor.
- Need to remake the elbow plates. I'm not happy with the current ones.
- I have to create the padding for the gloves.
- And I need to make the boots of course.

Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any questions!

This is Awesome.

I'm thinking of creating a Spectre-Like Armor costume, with Cool looking Helmet probably the Cerberous Stealth Helmet and with couple weapons. I just need good instructions and helpful tips. I been trying to find helpful tips but can't find any. I would get a Costume commissioned but sadly I don't have that much. I'm currently looking under 500.00. Once again great work with your costume.

Absolutely stunning!

I envy you cosplay elite and your creations! \o/

Lol thanks

I'm definitely not elite, or even a cosplayer really. This is only the 2nd costume I've ever made in my life haha ^_^

~K8-bit Apr 27, 2012

Well I have extreme envy lol. I REAAAAAALLY must do a FemShep N7 armor before I die lol (or get too old and have to do Dr Chakwas instead lol) - I seriously contemplated buying one of David (BioFX)'s pre-made ones.. but short of a lottery win I can't justify it at the moment!

Super kudos to you for making it yourself

\o/

wow awesome!
How did you make the armor? ^^

~hsholderiii Apr 21, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Thanks! Here is a link to EvilFX. He is the guy that (as far as I know) pioneered the technique for making this armor out of foam mats you can buy at hardware stores.

I adapted some of my own techniques for proportions and pattern development, but otherwise it's the same process.

thank you so much!
This helped a lot! ^^

It's sad that this is so far back when you search "Armor" in the Cosplay section. It's too good for that.

~hsholderiii Apr 19, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Haha, thanks! It is what it is - still a wip

I plan to do a full suit test fit this weekend with an upgraded helmet. So hopefully I'll have better pics to show of everything.
