/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm attempting my first cosplay and doing one for the Winter Soldier and need some advice for the arm.

I'm following guides to make the arm but they're all for the movie version. That's not a problem but I'm caught on one thing:
the movie version is very segmented and complex while the comic version (the one I want to do) is more simple with its lines (pic related).

So the guides are using worbla to piece the arm together like a puzzle but I'm thinking with mine I can just use strips or even just cover the whole arm with worbla and cut in the lines.
What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance.
