Overwatch Genji Cosplay of EVA Foam and Worbla

[NeoAlpha92]

Hi, long time dweller, first time poster!

I've started working on my very first foam and worbla project and I've decided to make a Genji cosplay from Blizzard's Overwatch.
Luckily, Blizzard has made this cosplay reference file http://media.blizzard.com/overwatch/media/reference/genji_reference.pdf.

My plan is to use a black bodysuit, make the armor pieces out of black eva foam and them to that suit. However, I'm afraid that may not work since it looks REALLY difficult to move around and do fancy ninja poses. Any solutions to this problem? I was thinking of maybe finding a brown undersuit to work as the brown armor parts, and keep the foam for the white and chrome parts.

Some few days ago, i posted a build thread with the same topic!

I just came home today with a black Morphsuit, and plan to mod it so that all the "brown" armour parts, i.e muscles will be glued directly on to it, and the rest (white and metal) armor, will be strapped/magnetized

Goodl luck with your build, cant wait to see it

You could try and articulate each piece, allowing pieces to move against each other.

I did this by adding straps to the inside of each overlapping piece, so that it would collapse. (sorry for awkwardness in the vid lol)

Nice build,i was thinking of doing this at first, but since the panels will be really thin, i thought it would be better to glue it directly to the undersuit
What armor is that btw?
