Hi guys.
Long-time lurker here. Basically, wasn’t a Marvel or Thor fan before I saw Thor: Ragnarok. Now I’m very much both. Had to go rewatch the first two Thor movies, obviously, whilst binging the rest of the MCU, and I decided Thor’s armor in The Dark World was my favorite look of his. Being a compulsive cosplayer, I HAD to do a Thor build.
I’d seen a lot of people making his armor out of foam and other synthetics, but I tend to work with leather, and since that’s what his TDW costume is made of... I opted for that. Made myself a bit crazy, trying to mold/tool/emboss all the details, and spent a month alone on working the pattern out. (Figuring out how to get into the armor without making an obvious opening in the side was also a challenge.) Still have to get the 6 armor discs/rondels, but I’ll likely have those digitized/3D printed, for durability purposes.
But since I’m finally finished with his chest armor, I thought now was a great time to document my build on here. It’s not perfect, but I’m having a great time so far. I’ll be making a Loki TDW cosplay to go with it, for one of my friends, but I’ve got to finish the rest of this cosplay first. Note: I’m female, so this will technically be a cross-play.
