Holy freakin' crap! THATS INSANE! Dude, that looks so cool. You should make Warrior Fissure Armor. That would be cool. So what'd you make it from?

That's a hell of a lot of GW fangear. I'm impressed at your workmanship. I'm tempted to say that your time might be better spent on non-GW things...:X

Second comment, I know.

I'd personally have chosen to make the Fiery Dragon Sword. Put some slow burning, time released gel inside the sword part - which, of course, has plenty of little holes all over the place. Then you set it on fire and laugh.

Very nice job! Looks like your dedicated to your guild too since you made the cape. Must have taken forever to make this, but I'm guessing it's worth it to see uber results like that. If you ever make another one, be sure to post it!

Pretty nice, although if you're going for stats you should go with the +1 weapon attribute helm, Knight's Boots, and the rest Gladiator armor. Just think: all you need to do is cut up a football, wrap tinfoil around boots, and get a bra.

I didn't buy it (except for the sword that came from a flea market for about $20), me and a friend constructed it using foam rubber (the stuff they make rubber shoes from), a glue gun, and different kinds of cloth, and paint. Took more than two weeks to construct (the last two nights without sleep). The cost in materials excluding labor is a little less than $150.

It's actually very light-weight, being made from rubber (except for the metal sword). Most of the stuff is pretty durable except the paint chips off sometimes, but that can be touched up easily.

The reason the cape is there is because I didn't want to do all the detail for the back part of the armor so it's hidden. The armor comes in pieces so if ever I want another type of armor, I can convert it by just constructing different parts rather than the whole thing from scratch.

I have done costumes for company mascots locally that run from $100 to $300 usually depending on complexity. This was just the single hardest costume to do because of all the detailing.

The stuff in the background like the posters and standee aren't mine. I was invited to wear the costume at the offices of the local distributor of Guild Wars here in the Philippines for a photo shoot.
