Full suit up as is. Other progress not previously documented:
- Made the lower leg plates out of my old MGS4 Raiden plates, using more 6mm foam. They attach to two pouches strapped to my shins; since this Raiden has no belt, I'll need the pouches to carry my stuff. - Made the shoes using more foam and my old MGS4 Raiden shoes. - Made the armored gloves out of thinner 2mm foam and a pair of black gloves from Daiso. The thinner foam keeps my gloves from being too bulky.
It is a 3x5" sample of Wonderflex that I got for free from Wonderflexworld.com. It was just big enough for me to use. I heatformed it over the chin of a styrofoam mannequin head I had. After I heatformed it, it was painted with gunmetal silver acrylic paint.
