Hi everyone! I'm in the midst of making three bamboo armor chestplates for Otakon 2010 (my friends and I are cosplaying three Sanzos from Saiyuki Reload/Burial), and so far I'm pretty pleased with the results.
I have more photos (along with a whole lot of babbling about the process) on my LJ under the "cosplay" tag. I'll be looking for advice as to how to assemble a neck/shoulder harness for the armor that doesn't cut off our circulation, so feel free to offer suggestions if you're familiar with Saiyuki!
