/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Yay self post thread.
Blade Regalia MKIII from KLK. I made this in a week and the clear coat was literally drying in my trunk on the way to the con (2 days no sleep towards the con). And putting it on there was virtually my first time ever putting it on and walking. So yeah, it was a super rushed job/speed build, but I wanted to see if and what I can do in a week.

It needs tons of refinements; there's supposed to be no gap at all in the armor except for my arms, but for some reason on con-day, they appeared, and thus you can see my cheesy nylon straps and temporary duct tape that I even had no time to replace with something more permanent like hot glue. They weren't there during my test fits. Maybe something went loose. Oh well. Also, my chest piece is slacking and always aiming my stars downwards, I don't have much flexibility in my legs, there's a huge gap in my lower back, etc. etc. Also, all the paint is just one coat. Again, I was using every second towards the con, lol. The paint job is now cracking and crusting in my garage.

Will fix up everything for AX.
