Axton, as the Commando - Borderlands 2

So, I recently finished another project, or well, kind of finished.  It's going to get a bit more work done to it, like some additions, and a new prop to boot.  So it's techincally not done, but what costume ever is?

Look, it's Axton!

But as I was saying, I would like to share the process of how I made it, so you can get an inside look at my process and how I work.

Before I go on however, the costume is Axton, as the Commando from Borderlands 2.  Axton was the character that I played through the game as in my first completion.  I find his self centeredness and his crude humor to be quite entertaining, which is why I decided to cosplay as him.  As of writing this I have a large majority of the cosplay done and only really need to complete 3 pieces yet: a class mod, grenade mod, and shield mod.  I premiered him at Tokyo in Tulsa 2013, to a degree of personal success when I entered him into the cosplay contest and was told some very lovely things by the judges (I will spill the beans on these comments as they come up with the individual items.
