Frostbite: Change in plans

So first I was supposed to cosplay Hideyoshi on saturday at Desucon Frostbite, but that project is on hold for now and won't be for this convention.

So I had to come up with something new, something that looked awesome and a bit difficult with challenge...
It didn't take long to come up with one and I went shopping today for the materials!
But I'm really scared that it will fail horribly, so I'll tell you guys what it is when the hardest part is done and it has to look good too!

Here's some pictures of the material, I've kinda started on the armor, try to guess what cosplay I'm doing if you can.

 

Those scales are a real pain! I've got about over one hundred now and I'm gonna need more, lots of it...
