Okay. I now have 111 days until AWA-con '08 and have yet
to begin on my Vayne cosplay. This is largely due to the fact
that I have no experience in cosplaying AT ALL. In fact, I
completely suck at this. So this is where I need your help to
those who have cosplayed before.
[BTW Vayne reference]
My current dilemma is his armor [gauntlets, armlets, giant-
a** belt] and his legs/shoes [that look like boxes]. So I need
to know how I'm to make armor and make it look realistic.
Time is not a factor; I have plenty of time to finish and refinish
pieces ove rand over again. I just need some recommendations
on how to create his separate pieces of armor.

Try looking up wonderflex. It would be good for armor.

I second Shishi's suggestion of Wonderflex. And, if for any reason that won't work for you, there's always craft foam. Boxshoes can probably be done with bootcovers made out of a sturdy material.

You could do Wonderflex, but it's pretty expensive and can be difficult to work with if you have no idea what you're doing. There's a cheaper, easier alternative method that my cosplay group has decided to try this year; foam armor.

And here's the tutorial: http://www.entropyhouse.com/penwiper/costumes/helmsdeep.html
