My Halloween Costume!

My Halloween Costume!
Hey everyone!

I know it's nearly Christmas, but I would like to share my last Halloween costume. 

The suit is my fourth costume so far, the first two costumes that I did in freshman year were made

of cardboard, during sophomore year I made a costume out of tin, and this year I've made the suit

out of hand-dyed cloth, leather, chainmail, and stainless steel. I am currently designing a fifth

costume, which will also use the same materials, however I will have a forge this time to make

intricate belt buckles and such.

Tell me what you think! I especially value constructive criticism, since I still have much to learn.

Looks awesome! Can't wait!
I've been trying to design a metal costume for a while. I was going for lightweight sci-fi military/scout armor, but I can't decide how to do it.
Your work is amazing!

Kinda bulky. I like the Metro Police more cause they have thinner suits... but ah we'll see eventually.

Use Cows can kills out the side xiphoid, and attach the scimitar blades. it would look more winglike

well done. A bit Fantasy-ish for my taste in armor, but well done nonetheless. a word of advice, if you ever wanted to fight in this, you should ditch the stainless steel and go for tool steel or high carbon. not that you want to fight in it, I'm just saying.

my only criticism is there aren't any pics showing the construction, what can be seen in the photos is pretty spectacular
