Man, that is a lot of work. I would have skipped the cardstock and just used EVA Foam.

Could I possibly get a hold of your models? I know I'm reviving a dead thread at this point, but I am looking to create this exact thing and the models from the game just are too jagged and I need some help. Or could I at least know how you made these models?

I'm not one for pep builds but I love this armor and you're doing a great job on it!

I've been retreading this project, fixing things that needed it, finishing things previously left unfinished. There's necromancy in Skyrim, right?

This will mostly be a photo-dump, as a couple things are still getting worked out.
My main reference was a big multiple angle render of the game model set up cgjeff style - https://www.flickr.com/photos/vrogy/9184257420/in/album-72157632888969708/ .

The biggest issues with the costume as it was in '13 were the lack of an undersuit and weathering. So I fixed those. Picked up a cheap airbrush and tried to add some texture with just passes of brown-

I also put together a quick ?pleather? undersuit- just traced something that looked right based on some pajama pants and an old longsleeved tshirt and took it in until it fit (sort of)

I also put together a quick base for some of the multi-part armor areas to attach to - just felt around craft foam, assembled with spray adhesive then stitched up. Armor is temporarily attached with Barge, I'll add some bolts with large washers at the back once they ship in. These hang from the belt, and the knee cop buckles around the back of the knee.

I also repainted an old weapon and assembled one of Yodajammies ' Glass Axe kits.

More to come - currently looks a bit like this
