First of all, I'd like to give a giant thank you to PepMaster for providing the plans to make this costume.
Without further ado:
I'm really proud of how well this suit came out. All in all it took about four weeks of work to construct, with an extra smattering of hours for redesigns and tweaking.
Some posing:
The suit is about 95 percent foam, the only non-foam parts are the loin-cloth and the pony tail of the helmet. I decided to go with hair instead of tassles and I think it looks better that way, though it was a nightmare to figure out how to shape it with a bend at the top. Eventually I settled on inserting some metal wire and gluing around it.
I tried to keep the suit as true to the manga as possible, though I could never get it 100 percent:
I will be debuting this suit at Perth SupaNova in a months time. There are still a few areas to tweak and places I need to paint but overall very happy with it. It certainly was a joy to make and I look forward to getting many pictures taken with fellow con-goers.
One more pose. (It's my favourite picture):
