Aquaman Movie Suit Help

[CaptainCoot]

Hey everyone, lately I've been fascinated with the Aquaman movie costume and how they made it, as I would love to make it myself

I am absolutely dumbfounded by how they made this thing practical and be able to move in it, while still looking like a beautiful Greek statue, I'm honestly in love with this thing

I'm thinking if I want to make this, I should start off with a spandex body suit and build off from there, how, that's where I'm having trouble. Maybe make foam armor-like pieces and cover them in thin foam scales? But that doesn't sound practical, any help is wanted, thank you

Tnt cosplay has EVA foam scales, there new fish style type, those may work well.

This may or may not help, it has some good details at least:

Once the artwork illustration team finalized the patterns and designs, the digital files were sent to Los Angeles-based printer Karen Winn of By Design, who has "perfected" a specialized heat process to create a "rubberized print" onto four-way stretch fabric. Barrett's team then heat-pressed a "foil-product" onto long sheets of the rubberized texture, which finally arrived with the textile arts department. "Then we hand-painted all of the final layer of wet-look and tint onto the top of that," Barrett explains. "It's a longish process."
