So I assume you got this in time for Armageddon Melb? How was it? Any pics from the floor?
Yep, I had to borrow a friend's Leather Lore Bracers of Gondor he uses for his Aragorn costume which he was kind enough to let me use and I was good to go!
I also quickly threw together some Uruk Hai arrows with rare earth magnet tips and metal plates under my costume to make them come on and off easily so I did pre Uruk Hair attack on the Saturday of the Convention then added the arrows, a little fake blood and did dying Boromir on the Sunday (Minus the cloven Horn

)
So here's some photos from the weekend:
One of my favorite photos from the weekend with a couple of good friends in the PotC cell prop:
And after getting the joke all weekend I caved and finally did an arrow to the knee photo...
The costume was a MASSIVE hit, I've never had this much attention in costume before except for one other I've done so I'm really happy with the response so far.
There's still a lot to do before I can call this costume complete (If you can ever call a costume that

).
Next up is to get y own Bracers done, then finish off the Shield and then I would like to make his big velvet travelling cloak he wears for the first half of the film plus a few other bits and accessories
