What are the chances I can make foam armour in just over 60 days?
My friends and family are saying im stressing too much trying to get it done in the time. I’ve bought everything, got the foam for the hand armour cut out and ready to glue, and the whole cosplay’s armour consists of complex hand armour, simple bracers, simple shoulder pads, simple chestplate, and complex leg + feet armour, as well as a simple wig and a cape with weathering at the end. I have almost everything, except for the cape fabric and the paint for the armour (I haven’t figured out how to paint eva foam yet)
a few problems though, I have occupations and get home exhausted at about 5pm-ish and need to be in bed by 10pm, and I’m chronically ill and so often struggle with having the energy for things.
I really want to be able to get this done on time, since it’s my first homemade cosplay and the con is a big one I go to with my friends.
is this possible? do I have to I just give up and get a different cosplay?
