Because people keep asking, I've explained what I used here in a journal:
[link]I'll add more details later~

~~~
I can now consider this 95% done~
Finally, after months (since February) I am complete !! - well almost:3 All I have left are: Paint the shoes (I have no more silver paint or primer left), add straps to the shield, and fix/add touch up to the entire outfit.
Mind the bump on the lower leg armor, I fixed it after, but you can still see a bit>< I used high heel shoes instead of low heel boots Lightning wears because I want to look taller:>
One thing I hate about this armor is that it's really hard to walk with (my feet hurt) and it feels hot ;A;
But yeaaa I'm so excited~~ Now I can help my sis some more on her FFXIII-2 Serah
