An Uru related project

So, this week I just got into playing Uru Live or MOUL.  I was apparently what is called an alpha beta tester, so I never played the game online once it was distributed to everyone and had a fee to play.  I didn't want to ask my parents to pay for that.  But now it's free!

Once I linked into Gahreesen I found a helmet I used to kick around back in the day.  As an artist, I became really intrigued by it and began doing research.  Long story short, it's an old Guild of Maintainers helmet, and it looks like this:

 

Then, as a cosplayer, I decided I want to make it.  Thing is, I have never had to make something like that.  All I've done is clothes.  I have a friend helping me out from deviantART who knows how to do this kind of thing.

So once I begin the whole process, I will post my WIP here.  I hope it comes out right, because I want others to cosplay this as well and maybe use this as a guide or to build upon for better results.

Here's a study of the Maintainer's suit from 3/4 view:

Wish me luck!
