In this video we make alterations to the RX-78-2 Gundam cosplay to get it ready for con season! These improvements included: updated the look of the visor, greater helmet ventilation including installation of a cooling fan, rebuild of the knee joints, shortening of the forearms, and suspension of the lower half of the costume from the shoulders via harness for greater articulation. The costume was then expertly weathered with a variety of airbrush and handpainting techniques.
