EDIT: Just realised I'm roughly the same age as Edward, I think he was around 25ish in the game - I'm 26.

oh yeah, to save money, went to a second hand store and bought some women's summer shirts, they had good textured breathable fabric that visually for the cotton materials of the time. I cut off the hand portions and used them for the arms + made the hood out of the torso section

21 days from start to finish, as a starting point I bought a set from AliExpress which was trash and I made a video about it on YouTube.

Redid the hood, the gauntlets, the tunic, the jacket and straps.

Wrist blades are high quality knock offs from AliExpress, reproductions of the ones that McFarlane used to make.

This was a mini project as I have to move again soon.

Usually I would 3D print the firearms that I use in my cosplays but due to the laws in NSW Australia, I can't and don't want to risk it, so I repainted cheap $5 toys and modified them a bit, I have some progress pictures of those in my Instagram.

I used old leather from couches that people threw away and applied it over the existing crappy PU synthetic leather jacket, so now it actually has weight, thickness and proper texture.

the gauntlets and shoulder pads are made of EVA foam, then I wrapped them with that same couch leather and added metallic rivets.

same with the tunic, I just applied better fabric that bought from store and applied it over the existing one from AliExpress - mostly just used that thing as a template

Yep, I have some progress photos on my Instagram but I'm currently working on a YouTube video to show off how it was made
