Neon Strike Vi -- Cosplay Is Fun!
My first cosplay was Miss Fortune and Neon Strike Vi one was my second. I had a friend help and show me how to construct the armor/gauntlets/shoulder pads/etc. It took us about 6 months to complete.
When we were using references, we opened up http://www.LolKing.com and looked at the Neon Strike model. No Papekura, nothing like that. Just eyeballing.
Here are the materials we used:
Materials: ~EVA Foam ~Scissors ~Exacto Knife(s) ~Sharpies (preferably 4 minimum -- you'll lose them, trust me) ~Super Glue ~Hot Glue Gun ~Blow Dryer/Blow Heater ~Watered Down School Glue ~Plastic Cups/Bowls ~Paint brushes ~Spray Paint (Chrome, Metallic Black, Gold) ~Acrylic Paint (Light Blue, Dark Blue, Gold, Chrome) ~And a 3D model of Vi via LolKing as a reference. ~Lycra/Spandex
My next cosplay is Pulsefire Ezreal.
