I got the idea to make a Skyrim costume for Halloween this year, even if I don't go. I'm not sure if there's a Skyrim forum, but I'll post stuff here if I end up making it. Anyways, it would be very simple and made of cardboard and paper mache. I would banded iron armor, as it has more arm coverage to keep me warm and it is very recognizable. For the sword, I would also do an iron sword. I also had the idea to make a small thing using orange LED lights to put in the palm of my hand (attached to the gauntlet) so that I could push a button to replicate a fire spell, because I always use a sword and a fire spell.
If you want me to actually make this, please say so and I can go buy materials! If you don't, Halo 4 pre-order here I come!
Also, if you have ideas for other armor (not Daedric, even though it is amazingly epic at being amazingly epic) or weapons please tell me!
Go ahead.
Although, since it's just gonna be made out of cardboard, I have a feeling it's just gonna be unrecognizable and look like you're a cardboard robot or something.
I've made a cardboard and paper mache costume before. Last year I made a Spartan from Halo, along with some weapons. By making that I've learned how to easily shape cardboard in better ways than normal, if that makes sense. xD However, I may be using pepakura instead to try it, but then I'd need to fiberglass it...
