Skyrim Nord Plate Armor

[King of Kittens]

Hello RPF,

For Fantasy Con here in Salt Lake City come June, I'm going to be doing a pep of the Nord Plate armor from skyrim. I had considered doing the Dwemer set but I wanted to do a skyrim cosplay that has not be done before. So I'm sticking with the nord plate. Here is a reference pic for those of you who don't know what it looks like:

I was lucky enough to find some great pep files already done by Kuraudo3 on deviant art: You can also find his files here: http://kuraudo3.deviantart.com/gallery/35912532/Pepakura-Files?offset=0

I'm still not sure what weapons I'm gonna be carrying, maybe Volendrung or something.

Of note is that the thigh armor is not available in pep form, but the shapes are pretty simple so I might just make it out of thing foam.

I'll post progress pics as I get them.

That would be cool to see. I never liked the fur on it though.

Here's why there's no pepakura patterns for the legs- there's no detail in the game models. It's all bump/textures.

I think a better approach than pepakura would be to hand-draw patterns for the parts. I did a few pieces as part of a costume quite a while ago now.

Have you looked on the 405th website? They have a massive archive of skyrim files.
