Space Marine Costume Help

[SidneyKusanagi]

Hi,

I am currently making a Warhammer 40K Space Marine costume. Not sure if it will be done when AR comes, but I'll do my best. I just have a couple of questions:

1.) Is it okay to bring a cardboard chainsword and put a cardboard halo on my backpack prop to AR? I'm worried about the "pointy" stuff on those two, but I just want to make sure if it's okay to bring these before I start making them.

Here are pictures as reference:

Halo on top of the dude's "backpack" (this is not my costume's final design, but it's similar):


2.) What do you guys usually use for padding inside the armor? I can't find any stores that sell Airtex High Density Foam (just like what the tutorials in Youtube use), but I was thinking of going to http://www.foamshop.com/ to get some foam...

Thanks!

The cardboard should be totally fine according to our rules ^^ As for the foam, I'm not too sure, I haven't had the chance to make a cosplay with armor yet x)

Thanks for your help. I'm sure I'll think of something if The Foam Shop doesn't work out. In the meantime, I should get my Pepakura armor printed and assembled.
