#loki refs

[lokicosplay]

I mentioned in an earlier post that I made my armor scales pieces for the shirt and side of the pants out of craft foam. I've since looked at some other alternatives for people to use. I tried a lot of different google searches and found these from searching "METAL RHOMBUS FLAT STUDS"

I believe that some of these might be smaller than some people would like for the scales buts I am not entirely sure because I haven't bought any to reference. The 1st ref pic is from Tom's SDCC appearance and the 2nd is a hi-res image from the Loki Thor 2 movie poster.

I hope this helps give some more options for those who don't want to make the scales out of craft foam. (All this excess stuff on Loki's outfit really makes me wonder how the studio handles upkeep of the costume. I'm pretty sure they don't just wash and dry it in a machine....) A question to other Loki cosplayers: How the hell do you wash or keep your costume clean? I know you can't wash pleather or leather the same way you do normal cloths.

up close pictures of each part, except the gold ribbon part which i did not make into it's own separate pattern piece.

I put the two best ref. pics for the sleeves that I could find right now below. I've also seen another variation on the sleeve ends (and the forearm armor) besides the one you see in the last pic so the end of my sleeves are  diff from this one pictured here. Both sleeves I saw were formed to follow the armor shape though.
