Gamora Armor Build - Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel Comic

Full step by step progress video on how I made Gamora's armor from Guardians of the Galaxy! I tried to make it as informative as possible and hope that this helps others in their armor cosplay making endeavors.

Character: Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy (Marvel Comic Book version)
Costume made by Yaya Han
Makup by Miya Tamlyn and Yaya Han
Time spent: 180ish hours over 4 weeks

Notable tools used:
Dremel 3000 Tool
Milwaukee M12 Cordless Multitool (with sanding pads)
Iwata Hp-Cs Eclipse Airbrush

Notable materials used:
EVA Foam (2mm, 5mm) from
Barge Contact Cement
Tamiya spray primer
Tamiya spray paint and clear coat
Matilda wig (heavily cut) from

This was definitely a challenging costume for me, because I am so much more comfortable with sewing. My hands are not strong enough to handle making armor every month, and this project took a lot out of me physically. But it was also an amazing learning process, and I'm really happy with the final outfit. I will use this technique again on future armor projects!
