I have been planing on Making armor for Elric for some time. I have drawn several designs until I figured out how I'd like it.

Materials I'm using are:

~ WounderFlex ---- Which can be found here -> http://www.cosplaysupplies.com/store.php?s=M4UZ
~ Apoxy sculpt 
~ Super sculptly
~ Magnets and wire 
~ MR. Surfacer
~ Black Spray paint,
~ Silver paint 
~ Various sizes: Deep red acyclic jewels 
~ Gloss varnish (For protecting coating)
~ Black satin fabric (for lining of armor pieces)

Step 1, 2 and 3 :

1 ~ Cut out paper stencils 

2 ~ Trace and cut wounderflex parts

3 ~ Shape wounderflex parts. (This part was surprisingly easy.)


In the photo below: Here is the rough stretch of my armor design, along witha few of the pieces; Forearm part and the lower part of the breastplate.

Step 4: Attaching various pieces together, 

I shaped the wounderflex pieces with a clever bit of feather cutting and a hot hairdryer (with help of a metal spoon to get the curves.)
And I am currently putting the small parts together with Apoxy sculpt. 


In this photo: Left paldron, or shoulder part.



The following photos are the shoulder part at different angles showing the where I joined it useing Apoxy sculpt.

Below is a drawing of the 'headdress' and the parts of it in Wounderflex.

The Dragon that I've sculpted out of super scuptly. (The wires to help join the wounderfelx wings. 



This is how the dragon will sit on top of Elric's head:  
(It will be held on with magnets and wire under his wig)

Step 5: 

Coating the wounderflex with a few layers of MR. Surfacer to get a nice smooth finish. 

Step 6: 

Paint job: several long hours of painting, each part.....

Step 7: 

Coating parts of my finished paint job with a an acrylic sealer via spray paint can. 

Step 8: Glueing/apoxy small metal loops that would hold the parts together, (Mostly for the shoulders parts and breastplate. 

I am still in the process of putting the armor together, so what I have photos now are only the finished parts. (Breastplate/shoulders and part of the headdress.)

All the Gems are temporary stuck there with a bit of sticky-tack, I will be gluing them down later.
