Armoured Poison Ivy WIP

So for those of you who might be interested, I am currently working on an armoured Poison Ivy cosplay build!

​I have been itching to make an armoured version of her for a while now, and decided to create my own design to work from. Below you can find some of my progress shots of how the costume is coming along, and taking shape! Hopefully you guys will totally dig the finished result!

The beginnings of my ivy leaves. Cut from skinny foam

EVA foam layering my boots. I made a pattern first for the foam pieces using newspaper.

Knee and ankle armour. Again I made a pattern for these pieces out of newspaper first and then traced round it on to the EVA. The leaf detail has been creating using a knife to score into the foam and then heat gunning over the top of them.

The 3rd stage for my ivy leaves. Scorn & heated and the first coat of paint on.

First EVA armour boot complete. The foam has all been attached to the boot using a hot glue gun. Now to score some detail into them.

Complete leg armour. All created using EVA and hot glue to attach the pieces together

Leaf cups for my chest plate. Again made from EVA.

Newspaper template for the undercup section of my chest plate. Making sure the cups will attach correctly.

Side armour and belt made from EVA, using the same technique of a newspaper template first.

Complete chest plate. All painted and the details added to it.

Top arm amour, complete with paint job and decorative finish.

Side armour 60% complete
