bendy armor :(
apparently those six wires i put in the armor are still not enough for support. I have a real big weak area in front of the armor that cracks the gesso if bent too much.. There's also alot of warping going on with the foam base.. I'm not sure what happened there(high heat + too much wallpaper paste?) They should turn out fine.. just a bit more fragile than I intended.
This is after the 5th or 6th layer of gesso. I'm going to do a few more thin layers tomorrow, add in more wire and then hopefully start painting next week?!
I'm so far into it, I might as well finish them. if I don't like the end result, I'll try another method after I finish the rest of the costume
