Sauron cosplay

 So, last year my son decided he wanted to go as Sauron from Lord of the Rings to the upcoming Phoenix Comicon.   This was going to be interesting!!  I started by searching the internet for materials, tutorials etc.


 I decided on Wonderlex.  We laid out the pieces, inserted craft foam in the middle and heat molded each section individually.

Each piece was painted with a hammered metallic paint and then dry brushed with black.  

Each piece of armor has detailed scroll work on them.  This was done by a mix of puffy paint and hot glue.

The helmet was going to be the death of me.  it was heavy with multiple angles, some kept cracking and it was a mess.  Luckily it all turned out ok in the end.

I ended up buying him the actual ring for his glove.  It turned out to be the perfect touch.

Here are a couple of shots from Comicon and a final Photoshopped image.  I am thrilled with how this came out.
