Being a die-hard Soul Calibur player and wanting a change from my manly gi, I was thinking of cosplaying as SCIII Siegfried at the next con that I go to. However, the costume seems rather beastly to make.
Here's some pics: http://www.angelfire.com/stars3/dragonsworld/shrine/sc3pics.html
Now, I don't have much experience with making costumes, and making armor is way outside of my skill range. I know some people who are willing to help, but I'm not really sure how to get started on this. Any advice would be welcome.

Sweet momma of Macalania. oO That looks quite tricky. You'll want to do the blue body suit I imagine, which won't be that bad. However, you're gonna need some lightweight metal or a scheme with some papier mache, I think.

yeah good luck with that, someone said something about carpet foam and some kind of tape or laminate that worked for them.

man...thats intense. i woudl say though to try to stay away form paper mache unless you were prepaired to make it the STRONG way...which takes forever. involving heavy glue and pulpified cardboard plus a coating of mache toilet paper to make it smooth....but yeah. ive heard things about fibergalss. im sure theres a hot to onine somewhere

Bwahaha!!...Ive made insane armor out of Duct tape and foam ^_^...
okay... The foam I used was a Camping Pad..like what you sleep on...and then I bound it together with color duct tape.
I used newspaper to make the templates for like my chest and leggings and arms and whatnot.. then I cut it out and used one color of ductape and made the armor then I added more collored duct tape to make it look nice.
If you guys remember that Zabuza with the really big and "Accurate" Knife, I made that by using this style ^_^.
oh you can make the sword too ^_^..out of PVC Pipe, Pipe Insulator Camping pad and Duct tape woot!
Rock Rock on!
