As well as sabatons (Knight shoes) but those came the day after my Comi-con I went to. I made the helmet, pauldrons, and shin guards, but bought some real knight gauntlets. It looked ok for being made out of cardboard. My first cosplay was the Witch King of Angmar. I am not new to cosplay however, and I've been wanting my own HALO suit for quite some time now. I will take even more pictures of the steps I go through, so that those of you who are interested, can learn more if you want. So I am instead going to be making the suit of EVA foam, which I know how to use, and will hopefully do better at. I first tried using pepakura, and was able to successfully make a fore arm, but found that that process, is not for me. Once again wear your respirator, bondo gives off toxic fumes.This will be my second attempt at making the Infinite Master Chief. By the way you will need a non-porous surface to mix the bondo on. To mix don't just stir it, fold it and smear it.
Let me tell you it takes a lot of sanding, anyway to mix your bondo take a blob about the size of a golf ball and put a pea-sized amount of hardener and then mix. What I recommend is that you just do it the normal way which is covering in bondo and then sanding. However there was one piece that I covered in cheesecloth and then in bondo, witch did seem to work well, but was rather unnecessary to do it like that, but since the piece was already covered in the cheesecloth I tried it. At first I like this because spackle is much easier to sand than bondo, but the problem is that spack cracks very easy, so I do not recommend this method. Then I covered the cheesecloth with spackle. I took layers of cheesecloth and glued them on by mixing glue and water and brushing it on. For this step I tried using a different method which really didn't work as well as I had hoped.
