Costume: Due to time constraints, relative inexperience and a thousand other excuses, I didn't sew the costume. Rather, I got it custom-made at a local tailor. The entire costume is made of dark blue PVC with a cloth backing (its a heat trap in there). The boots are standard army issue.
Sword: 11 months of on-and-off work. The sword is made of pine wood, pla-plate, paperclay, and a few bits of metal. More info here: [link] __________________________________
ok, you are the ONLY noctis cosplayer i have seen to do his sword right besides myself. major kudos! everyone thinks it's so bulky and it's really not.
