[#1] Overview - Runefest Costume Vlog

I'm going to be making profound armor as my costume for Runefest.
I have a 4x8 3mm sheet of Sintra plastic which I can heat and mould into the armor. Once I have the shape I want, I will prime and sand it with a plastic primer in order to make it smooth and then I'll use rub n' buff to make it look metallic and the color of profound. After that I'll attach it to some sportswear(a hockey top and some shinguards and armguards) using industrial strength velcro.

On the runescape news: "he's made an incredible costume and documented the whole process" yeah.. not really, this is just him saying what he IS GOING to do, he hasent made anything yet. (i was hoping for more of a stop-motion montage type video..but i guess we dont all get what we want..

@phreeesubz

Check out the video responses, I put the next video in the series as a response to the previous one as I make them. As of this post I've done 10 videos and I'm getting near the end of the costume. Video 9 has the most up to date image of me wearing the armor if you just want to skip to see that.
