Black Knight Costume/Cosplay Status!!!
Wow. This has taken an immense amount of work. Measuring, finding ratios, designing the sections I can’t see geez… I’m almost there though! I plan on making this more or less to scale of the actual armor but built custom for my body-type. I had to break up the drawing into different sections with various ratios and it’s confusing. I haven’t done much building yet, but I have done a prototype of some foam which might be the main component. I might do a fiberglass coating for protection, or maybe just some resin/lacquer. Here’s what I have so far:
