Hello!! Risa here 
Ok so this is my first time posting on therpf.com (tho i've been going through this forum for yeaaars because it's an awesome community!!!). I'm really excited to post some of the work in progress for my Iron Woman cosplay that I will be wearing to ColossalCon in a few weeks! I've really wanted to start one of these threads because I feel like this community is super knowledgable with props and costumes... there are some areas that I may need a lot of help with, and I know that I can depend on therpf for the solution ^_^ !!!
Below is my original Iron Woman cosplay! It was a huge success when I wore it - however, it was my first time ever doing ANYTHINGGG with armor, and the entire cosplay was EXTREMELY flimsy. The chest was made out of cardboard, wrapped with vinyl fabric on top. Then.... I ran out of vinyl and switched to foam. The difference in the material is so painfully obvious. I was on a time crunch so I had to do with what I had. I'm okay with the results.... but now that I've worked with EVA foam and armor a lot over the years, I feel way more confident about tackling another version of Iron Woman!!
More pictures for reference are on my facebook - http://facebook.com/RisaCosplay
I'm using darkside501st AMAZING pepakura 3D models to build the majority of this costume. The biggest change I'm making is improvising the chest area to make the costume more feminine! I'll be referencing deadmanawake's Iron Woman for the chest area.... but more conservative with the tiddies haha!
I've already finished the gauntlets and shoulders and will post those asap!! And today I tackled the entire back piece... I wanted to get that done and over with first since I figure it's the biggest and probably most detailed piece of the cosplay. Here are some photos!!!
Expect a lot of updates
