Thanks everyone! I truly appreciate it. ^_^
@Jimbob1989 It really is. It's very tedious to prime and finish, but it's so easy to work with. I love it.
I've been priming, sanding and painting like a crazy person trying to get everything finished by Comicpalooza this weekend:
I have one portion finished so far to show for it. Below, the utility belt, sheath and rope are done (sword is not). The belt is composed of leather straps, rivets and magnets, and is attached to the sheath via D-rings. The sheath is finished Worbla with leather trim, and the rope was a white rope, bought by the foot at Lowes, that I spray painted gold:
Hopefully I'll have more finished pieces to post very soon! I have 2 days left to finish, so I'm feeling the pressure.

This is awesome! The corset looks so cool, does it retain any flex or does all the sealer/glue make it more rigid? I really like the closures on the bracers, they look authentic (as authentic as a fictional race can look 
) and fit that gladiator/goddess aesthetic. Are you able to draw the sword from the back scabbard?

Fictional race? I assure you, we are alive and well my friend.
The corset does retain some flex but it is a bit restrictive. It's fine for walking and sitting but bending over isn't an easy task. The sword can be drawn but the design has her scabbard opening behind her left shoulder, although she holds her sword in her right hand and her shield on her left arm so she is clearly right-handed. Sword access would be much easier were the scabbard opening located behind her right shoulder. I'm interested to know why they designed it this way and to see how it plays out in the movie.

Tumbler Thanks!
Update:
I have completed the leg armor. I was nervous about retaining proper alignment while keeping the flexibility at the joints once the plating was conjoined, but it worked out nicely. I can sit and walk with ease:
Here is a video where you can see the mobility in action: https://www.facebook.com/methylethylcosplay/videos/1581019318839170/?l=3568905435025889654
The other pieces are painted and ready as well. I've been finishing up last minute items today. For the hand wraps I bought black self-adhering elastic bandaging and spray painted it with a lighter brown color to get a dark brown wrap. I cut them to size, and voila. Super cheap and easy!:
I plan on debuting this tomorrow at Comicpalooza, so I should have some full body shots of the completed costume soon. Hopefully everything comes together well. Finger crossed!

I would like to eventually. I am likely going to Dragon Con this year so I would like to do it by then, but I will be making a new costume to wear as well so it all depends on timing.

Thank you!
I have some nicer photos to share now. The following is a comparison pic:
The picture on the above right was taken by Bryan Humphrey at Comicpalooza. I actually won a golden ticket to do a free photo shoot with him based on costume quality. That was super awesome because he is mega talented! These are a few of my faves from the shoot:
The following are a couple shots I found from local media coverage of Comicpalooza (left: Houston Press, right: KHOU):
Below was shot by the incredible Ngo photography:
I was also very honored by winning best Super Hero/Comic costume at the Dallas Comic Con costume contest this weekend:
And there you have it! I hope I didn't bombard you with too many result pictures. =P
If I do have time to make the shield before Dragon Con I'll be sure to update this.
Thanks for watching my progress you guys!
