Heya! Here is my first cosplay ever! I based it on some Pepakura files I found on this site! I started mid-October and was finished for Youmacon X (October 31-Nov 2, Detroit, MI). I used primarily 110 lb card stock, Smooth-cast XTC-3D and Smooth-cast 65D.
The construction went pretty fast because I borrowed a Silhouette Cameo to do all the cutting for me The biggest problem I had by far was the spray paint... it 100% dissolved my Smooth Cast 35D, not sure how or why that happened... but as a result I had to recast all my pieces the night before the convention! Yipes!
I didn't get many pictures myself, but hopefully I find some posted around the Youmacon Facebook and forums in the next week or so. Please note that I made no effort to clean things up or detail them as I had less than three weeks to start and complete my first cosplay
I hope you enjoy the result as much as I did. I had pictures taken constantly, so much fun!
I went to the Rave in my first pic here
