Wow, that's awesome! What did you make your armor out of?

Thank you! The armour is primarily made of worbla (if you haven't heard of it, it's a thermo-plastic that comes in thin sheets, and you can heat and shape it), with some craft foam for certain parts, and 3D paint for a lot of the raised details.

Yeah I have heard of it. I'm live in Canada though so I cannot get my hands on it... Or it will be difficult. Wonderflex is pretty much the same is what I'm gathering. How'd you make the detailing on the edge of the jacket (the zipper like gold squares)?

They're zipper stops (top stops, not bottom stops). If you look online there should be at least a couple places that sell them in bulk. There's really no quick way to apply them, unfortunately--I just sat there for hours with a pair of pliers, haha.

Awesome! Yeah I want to try making a Loki cosplay but I want to know what materials are my best options to go with. I hope mine can turn out half as good as yours.
