Someone may have already brought this up, but there are (at least) two cloaks. The version in the glass case is different from the version he actually wears. Notice the seam lines on the left shoulder--the round shape of the shoulder pad on the case cloak has been truncated with a seam through...

The mouth does open with my mouth, I have to exaggerate my motions some, but it works. The rest of the armor is actually not too bad. So far I've worn it on three ~80 degree days and wasn't too uncomfortable (well, not due to heat) when I didn't have the mask on. Interestingly, even though my...

Aargh, I've made so much progress but I haven't posted (too busy making things)! Here's the nearly-finished piece: I have to finish the tail still--I made one, but it needs to be painted and have an attachment system made. I'm also planning to do a digitigrade version, because it will be...

A little more hair work done. It's so soft and fluffy! I don't want to trim it, but I also don't want to be a bobblehead khajiit so I know I'll have to. I just love the way the different colors look. I'll be airbrushing more color/shading in, but am using black and white hair to start with. I...

It's a wax based metallic finish. Gives some very nice results, though it will rub off with handling some.

I'm continuing work on hairing the mask. I'm building up layer upon layer of hair, working from bottom to top (based on the hair direction, so I actually work from the tip of the ears down, etc). It's going well. I'm pigmenting the silicone to kind of match the hair color as I go. Only problem...

I painted it with the Rust-Oleum Forged Hammered spray paint in Antique Pewter. Then I brushed black acrylic into the recesses (fairly dry brush here). Once that was dry, I dry brushed a light layer of Rub 'n Buff in Silver leaf over the highlights (very dry brush here, with 1" cheap chip brush).

I try to make things extra sturdy wherever possible. Of course, that's mostly because I hate feeling like I have to be extra careful when I'm wearing a costume.

This is looking great!

Cool! I rather like your current rainbow effect, hah. Are you planning to incorporate any of the lighting effects? EVA foam would be my way to go for a good portion of this armor, too--a rigid material would mean being worried about stabbing people's eyes out all the time!

Horses are one of the more difficult things to mold (I sculpt them for a living and I've seen the molds my casting company makes!). I hate to be that person, but... do you have copyright on this piece? You really shouldn't be recasting it if you didn't make it. If you sculpt your own, you can do...

Let's see... I'll go in the order I put it on. The greaves velcro onto their straps. I added an elastic piece to hold the greaves to the straps more securely, while still being able to flex the straps enough to get them on and off, which really helped with how much they tend to want to pop off...

And here it is on me yesterday! I was pretty happy with it, had a few failures but spent about an hour fixing things up last night and I wore it again for about 5 hours today with no further failures! It was a warm (80 and sunny) day and I was OK as far as heat went. It's actually pretty...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention--these are actually v2 of the shoulders. I made them 70% of the size of the originals. I actually turned one of the originals into a helmet, you can see it sitting on the tuff box there!

Please excuse my disaster of a studio. The armor is wearable! This is good since I have an event this weekend that I want to wear it to (Festival of Legends, in NC). A few pieces are missing (the fur skirts and hip armor, as well as one little piece that attaches to the breastplate, and the...
