Hi,
I've started building Samus' Varia Suit from Metroid Prime 2/3 (the most common one) a few months ago. So far I'm slowly learning how to handle the foam material which I'm using as the main material for this build (at least that's the plan so far). Maybe some 3D prints come later, but I don't have a printer yet and most of the armor seems to be doable in foam.
While I was looking for some WIP reports on the internet for similar builds to learn from I found this forum and I thought this might be a good place to post and share my own progress every once in a while. Else I'm mainly active on Instagram, but I keep my stories and posts there in german.
Let me finish this opening post with a picture of a poster that is hanging in my room for over a decade now. The cosplay shown there is in a completely different style than I plan to craft for myself, but it shows the right kind of Varia Suit.
Next post will show some helmet progress.
