[WIP] Galadhrim Elven Warrior

[bleahhh]

The impending movie, The Hobbit, has rekindled my interest and fired up a project I always wanted since I started costuming / Cosplaying in 2005; the Galadhrim Elven warrior.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Method and Materials
I have no budget and work shop AND knowledge for casting or fiberglass.
so alot will boil down to basic paper marche and foam building (which I picked up alot on my Iron Man MK VI.

The Hobbit Premiere/costume contest-12/12/12

So heres the contest my bro (uruk-hai) and I attended.

Blades clashed

But good prevails~

Reserved for Weapons

Long Bow
Tested out the method of clothes hangers, foil and paper marche from jedielfqueen's site, I tested out a longbow.

Turned out ok but 30 cm too short. Will redo another one. But it set a foundation for my elven sword.

Elven Sword

Using the same method for my longbow, the sword turned quite well.

some paper marche, painting and slight detailing later

Reserved for hard armour

Helmet / Crown

One of my favorite part of the armor really. I like the shape and design.

Did the base of scrap cardboard backing of some drawing blocks from my daughter.
Free handed with loads of references and I was pretty pleased as I seldom freehand and get something close enuff.

Some paper marche and layers of PVA glue later and a coat of gold paint made it look closer.

Will be doing the embossing when I get my hand on the 3D paint.....

Chest Armor
Here's from Jedielfqueen.

Using 2mm craftfoam, I free handed the pieces and glued them. Looks close enuff for me.

Thanks for the encouragement but I am far from
Good and no where near done. But I'll work on it as it's been one of my dream
Projects which I only attempted now as I didn't have enuff experience prior.

Sad to say Lotr costuming doesnt get much fan base here in Singapore.
