excelent work! how did you the rounded rim in the pieces? have you tried this in foam with thickness of 7, 8 mm? such simple, straighforward job and very effective, i suppose you were as happy as your daughter!

This is wonderful! I've never seen anyone do this outfit! Wonderful idea :)

[chickenjack]

Combining the candy bag onto the back of the shield is brilliant!

[RavingMadStudios]

Great techniques and beautiful work!

[SymWolfe]

Wow that is amazing!!!

Nice armor! What material did you use for the metal bits?

[ricardoruizo]

The armor is leather.

there is no metal

[D00M99]

So you spray painted it?

[ricardoruizo]

everything was painted with aluminum spray

[D00M99]

Nice. Leather is really nice and flexible too so it eliminates the issue that some of the more detailed costumes have of breaking, bending, or difficulty in movement.
Great work!

[ricardoruizo]

Thanks, mobility was one of the variables considered important

[Cymru]

I'm so glad you posted this right AFTER Halloween. That gives me most of a year to get one made.

[ricardoruizo]

I just spent two weeks working at night
With a year of work, you must be great

[Cymru]

I'm betting that I'll be making 3 or 4 of them in the year. And sized for someone who is 5'11" and 5'6" and 5' and 4'8". They already have boffers
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_weapon) so foam armor seems a logical progression.

[ricardoruizo]

It is logical that if you already have a foam gun, now require foam armor.
Initially I thought of making the whole armor of foam, but as I had leather in my workshop, I decided to use

[Cymru]

Not guns. 4' long PVC swords covered in pipe foam insulation another 4" beyond the PVC.

[billytwix]

well done!

[ModMischief]

Beautiful work!
I wish there was more in the way of instructions for each step.

[Mr.Sanchez]

Buena Paisano...Bienvenido a instructables

[ricardoruizo]

The back of the shield is a candy bag

The sword is a section of PVC pipe
