The white pillars fit perfectly with it. Is all of that armor and the weapon Worbla and foam? (except for the chainmail skirt)

Yeah it's all worbla with apoxie sculpt detailing. Β It's not actually as much worbla as it looks, since most of it is single layer.

Nice, saves time and weight compared to metal. I wonder how much a full suit of metal would weigh? 40 kilos for the suit, and another 25kg for the weapon I'd guess.
And how heavy is your suit? Like a thirth compared to that?

I can't even imagine how heavy actual metal armor would be lol.Β I made the chainmail out of aluminum, and that by itself was already maybe 5 lbs (2.27 kg)?Β It was surprisingly heavy.
I didn't weigh my armor, but my suitcase containing a good part of the costume and weapon was maybe 18 kg at the airport.Β It was definitely heavy enough for me to be sore and tired after wearing for a day.Β So real metal, I'd be completely exhausted after an hour, if I could even carry it XDΒ Medieval knights must have been in incredible shape to wear metal armor for so long.

Black Knights be like "Do you even lift?"
Google provides answers!
"A complete suit of plate armour made from well-tempered steel would weigh around 15β25Β kg (33-55 pounds)"
"Specialised jousting armour produced in the late 15th to 16th century was heavier, and could weigh as much as 50Β kg (110 pounds)"
So its actually much lighter than I expected.
Ofcourse, this is meant for actual combat, to keep you alive.
The Black Knight set is to look fabulously

Haha that is lighter than expected, although with the halberd, I'd still be exhausted pretty quickly.
