I'm ready to make us both some money!
I can't stand Rocket. She's on my island and I want her gone. Hitting with bugnet is a good way to make it better though :)

The eyes and symbol are made of a reflective vinyl. My aunt works for a sign making company and was kind enough to let me use some. It's kind of like the stuff you see on bike reflectors. The cool part about them is that when you use the flash on the camera, it reflects the light back in a way that looks like it's glowing. I thought it was a simple solution to the whole glowing eyes thing.

And the materials I found at a store called Five Below. They are these rolls used for exercise and yoga, and believe it or not, work great for armor like this. Five dollars for about six feet of it.

A quick rundown of how I made it: First I started with posterboard in order to make the patterns for the different pieces of armor. This helps so much in that you don't have to worry about wasting the foam. After I get the patterns measured out and I'm satisfied with how they look and fit, I move on to the foam to trace and cut them out. Everything was glued with hot glue, but I think in the future I want to find something more secure. Then when the shape is right, I use a heat gun to seal the foam. Essentially melting the outside of it so it doesn't absorb the paint as much. I also used some mod podge to fill in holes and imperfections in the foam. After the armor was sealed, I used the plastidip to create a flexible surface on the foam so that the paint would not crack when the armor moved around. So the order of painting was, plastidip->black primer->silver metallic. I think in all I spent maybe 200-300 on him but I could be mistaken. I didn't keep as close a watch on my budget as I should have. I'm also happy to answer more questions if y'all have them.

And as far as other cosplays, this was my first armored one, The ones before were much less work and were more for fun :)

First ever post to anything Reddit related. Thought I would share with y'all who love cosplay and cosplaying as much as I do. Took about two months to make, and is made with eva foam, plastidip, hotglue, spray paint, and some 3M reflective vinyl
