Fairy Tail

[Joyous Cosplay]

I was wondering if anyone has some tips for first time armour making? I know there's foam and worbla involved.. Any tutorials would be greatly appreciated. I'm attempting to make Erza Scarlet's Flame Empress armour from Fairy Tail and I have until the 8th of March to complete it as that is the day of a cosplay convention. TIPS, HINTS AND TUTORIALS FOR ARMOUR MAKING PLEASE AND THANK YOU. :3
Also any idea as to how to go about making her sword would be incredible. <3
