I have pretty much decided to cosplay him. The good people at cosplay.com have filled in the gaps of knowledge that I need, and if the wig is at the local shop I shall definetly start on it.
Onto a few misscelanious stuff...
I plan on altering this http://img.sewingtoday.com/cat/40000/itm_img/M4745.jpg
or a Japanese school uniform to look like this pic they posted from the manga
http://digilander.libero.it/dicarta/Fumetti/Manga/ExcelSaga/ILPalazzo.jpg (search for him on google to see his full uniform with the cape and shoulder armor)
The shoulder armor im thinking of making out of metal and pop riveting.
The crown like thing I plan on using the old foam and plastic combo, but who knows i may make it out of something different.
and the cape is easy...
One question I still have is whats a good set up to keep the shoulders on?
