Hello, all.
I'm a new member to the site, so first off: Hi, everyone!
As for the help/advice, I'm actually in the planning stages for a cosplay outfit based on the Mega Man X series, although the design is for an original Reploid character that I've designed through my fanfiction.
However, I've kind of hit a brick wall.:confused Whenever I look for costumes or costume makers, I can't really get a lot of help on what materials I should use to get something that doesn't look like cardboard and paper mache. I recently talked with a friend of mine who is part of the 501st Legion, and I thought that perhaps the material used in designing the stormtrooper uniforms would work well.
If anyone is familiar either with the material used to make stormtrooper costumes or with ideas on how to make decent-looking Reploid armor, please let me know. I'd like to have this done in time for the 2012 anime convention I'm going to, since there's a different idea already set in motion for this year's con.
Thanks a bunch!
