Well since you decided Solaire, I can help a bit more with that (I know this is getting into help thread stuff but fuck anyone who's that anal)

Pic Related is the helm I made.
Sintra that I hair dryer'd into shape and hot glued(heatgun works better) Sintra has the texture of hard leather when heated so it's easy to work with and cools to its original hard plastic. (Apply heat to part that won't be visible because it destroys smooth texture if you're using sintra) Used Sintra for rest of armor too.
Thought about putting bolts on helm to make it more accurate but ended up not doing it. The neck piece I didn't trust myself making correctly without it slicing apart my shoulders from friction.

I recommend gluing a hat inside the helmet so the flat top doesnt awkwardly balance on your head.

Chainmail: I used a knitted textured long sleeve shirt because making chain mail from wire would've taken me an eternity.

Put this on your phone or something for if you go out to buy stuff and don't have access to ingame model.


Final thoughts/I found this out after I made it: If you can, make the red feather detachable because it'll make it easier to store the helmet without bending it or use the helmet as a bucket to hold some of the cosplay.
