I can't really say for the others, because I didn't really follow up their work up to the costume's completion. I think that the Sumia used worbla for hers.

But in my own armor-part, I used the craftfoam-worbla technique for the pauldron of my Chrom cosplay. I didn't sandwhich it though; I cut my worbla with an extra 3/4 inch allowance and folded the extra in when I covered my pieces.

If you're interested in tips for specifically a pegasus knight armor, I made a set for my girlfriend. I only used worbla covered foam for the chestpiece and the belt buckle, otherwise, I used 1/4 inch EVA for the shoulders, the elboes, arms and etcs.

As for tips, there the method that I mentioned earlier about folding in your worbla instead of sandwiching it, because that'll cost you twice as much to make an armor. In terms of "finishing" the worbla properly, I'd say use gesso but mix in a bit of modelling paste. It should make your gesso thicker so you dont need to brush in as many small layers and sand easier. Dont use anything under 100 grit or else the gesso might rip off while sanding it.

For my Falchion, I used a wooden base and glued into it the raised details with misc materials. Only tip I can give is that when you pattern it, only do half of a Falchion and just recopy it on the other side. It guarantees symmetry.

I hope this of help anon!
