Research
This year I will be going to my first ever comic con convention in London. So I had to start my costume ASAP i have around 3 months to build a costume .
What to wear/build?
After a lot of research I originally wanted to build and design myself a World of Warcraft costume but I had to be realistic and in 3 months I don't think it was achievable especially the PVP warrior gear i wanted to make.

So I decided to make the Mass Effect N7 armor. I did alot of research into the armor. I printed photos in order to have a reference. I also read and followed two blogs that helped and gave me an idea on how to create it.
These people have serious skills!!
Materials?
I will be using several materials for the armor. Eva foam is a material very commonly used by cosplayers. Its also known as interlocking gym/garage mats. This material is easy to stick together using a glue gun and easy to shape using a heat gun.
It was quite hard to find this in Gibraltar and ordering online was too expensive. I finally found it in two places in Gibraltar.

My next step is to print out the templates, cut them out, stick them together and start cutting the EVA foam.
