Description
Find me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/littleblondeg…Winner, MCM Midlands Expo Cosplay Masquerade 2014.
It's not just me who cosplays, the other half does it too! This is Si's very first cosplay, Commander Shepard from Mass Effect 3. Little bit of Renegade action creeping in there, you notice.
The undersuit is comprised of a black compression top and matching leggings rather than a wetsuit, since a bit easier to get in and out of. Otherwise, the whole thing is a traditional craft foam build. Black EVA foam floor tiles with some thinner, 2mm craft foam for detailing.
Foam alone wasn't a good enough colour to leave unpainted, so everything has been sprayed with a few different coats of car paint, as it gives a better, more metallic finish. In the end, it was built up with matt black as a base, then Ford Midnight Grey to get the metal effect. Dinks and weathereing comes from a little aluminium colour.

The amount of time and effort that went into this really shines through; it's easily one of the best suits from Mass Effect I've ever seen

Loving the detail in the armor and the swag of the model. I like the weathering around the thigh armor definitely makes it look and feel more weathered and used. Beautifully done overall. The only way to make this more perfect is to make the hand cannon airsoft functional.

Thanks very much! The weathering took a while to do, but we reckon it makes a lot of difference.

My god that is awesome. The metallic paint on the EVA foam sure looks authentic, nearly fooled me thinking it was actually aluminium

Thanks! Car spray paint and lacquer really works, it turns out; I'd recommend it.
