Rapidash
Based on one of my favorite Pokemon, my Rapidash Paladin costume was my first attempt at designing and constructing a full set of armor. I am by no means an armor expert, so it was certainly a learning experience!
A full video walkthrough of this build is available here.
The armor was made from craft foam and Black Worbla, with Thibra used for detail accents. After being primed with automotive spray filler and given a base layer of spray paint, the rest of the painting detail was done by hand using acrylics.
The gems on the armor were made using EasyCast resin.
I purchased heelless shoes to use as a base, then added hoof-like covers made from Black Worbla and pulled yarn to create fur-like edging for the stretch suede boot covers.
The wig began as a lacefront Matilda from Arda Wigs. It was combined with a Luthien for extra volume and color variation.
