Yo. I'm new here, and I've never cosplayed in my life. However, I've always wanted to wear a cool suit of armor, and I have recently discovered pepakura.
So I'm gonna build Ornstein's armor. Ever since I saw it in game, I loved it. The big red plume, the lion helmet, the everything, really. And pepakura is essentially putting together a big 3D puzzle, and I love puzzles. Yeah, it will involve sculpting and sanding and painting and making chainmail and strapping everything together, but I am an artist. This is just another big art project. Who knows if I'm gonna finish it, though.
Anyway, I've decided to post my progress so that if I do something stupid, or if I need help, I can get feedback.
I've started with the left forearm piece, but I put it together, and I can't get my wrist all the way through. It's too small anyway, so I'm going to bring it from 11 inches to 13 inches in length so it's the proper size. The tiny little rim pieces are also a pain. I fudged the part that goes over the top of the hand a bit, so part of the edges of the v's aren't at the right angle. At least this forearm bit was a test run.
