  • I see. Very nice then.

    you could probably go a little taller still (and stiffen the whole thing a little with foam) and maybe hide the zipper a little for some resemblance of waterproofing?

  • True, it could be a couple of inches taller. Can always compress it with a bungee strap. I'll definitely put a larger zipper slide cover - didn't extend it enough on this proto.

    I've been thinking about foam but haven't found the right stuff and don't know what to search for. Something low density but stiff, 3-5mm would be ideal. Could maybe bodge it with some pieces of coroplast between the outer and liner but foam would be way nicer and easier to install.

  • I'd recommend EVA Foam.

    It's what the cosplayers use to build their "armor". Lightweight, stiff enough to hold form, easily cut and glued.

    And since it's the "new thing" for cosplayers, readily available in a hundred online shops.
