Description
"Almost like... a scarlet flower, blooming fully with pride." (Fairy Tail, Chapter 284)My personal thoughts about this armor physically exhaust me. This took about two weeks, off and on. In the future I might write up more about it, but it's made with Wonderflex (my best friend) and smoothed out with gesso and Bondo (by my lovely brother). I did surgery on the other (2nd) armor and extracted the old Heart Kreuz as well as the shoulder pieces--which are their own pieces anyway. These gauntlets are vinyl covered craft foam (less bruises this way, thank you very much).
I wore this in the Anime Boston masquerade but due to the prop and other reasons, no one really saw me. So, here are some pictures to make up for that!! I'm actually really proud of this, despite the other versions. Also, I think I've lost weight since I made it because now it's absolutely huge. orz WHATEVER, I'M A BADASS

I saw you in the Masquerade. I thought you were so pretty! Made me want to watch the show but then I found it wasn't available on either Netflix or YT...

Thank you so much! Our skit could have gone so much better... they messed up our audio and everything. I'm glad you liked it! FUNimation streams the show online!

I barely even noticed the audio screw-ups and if FUNimation streams it then I will definitely check it out.

I made them using super Sculpey and got them down to size with my dremel! I'd be happy to make you a pair for a few $!
