This is a project I have wanted to make for a long time, and was something I started making over the summer. So, when we were told our final project could be anything, as long as it was big, I already knew exactly what I was going to make. I had already collected a bunch of reference photos, so i began brainstorming what machines I could use to help with this project.

Brainstorming
With the help of one of my friends who is practically a pro cosplayer, I began this project over the summer. I made the chest piece with her help, and it set up the way for me know how to do the rest of this by myself. Although I don't have much experience with the material I'm using, I think I'm doing okay. That being said, it will definitely not be as polished as it could be.
I explored many options on how to take pictures of the armor and turn them into tangible pieces. I contacted somebody who had designed the entire project in a 3D software, so I could have printed all of the pieces, but they charged around 100 dollars for the files, so I decided that would be my last resort.
