Construction Details:

The helmet and belt are made from leather. Some aspects of the helmet are made from garment leather and others from 4-6oz tooling leather. The speaker is actually a speaker I gutted from a Vietnam War helicopter helmet. I haven't installed a bluetooth device in it yet... but I will!
The bracer is a functional iPhone 4s holster. The pictures should show 2 different bracers: Mark 1 was a lighter color and just housed the phone. Mark 2 matches the belt color and houses the phone, a battery charging pack, and an acid-etched brass plate with "Ashtear Inc" written on it.

Gato is a separate feature. He was digitally designed and printed in 11 pieces on a 3D printer. He was then sanded, primed, and painted. His head comes off to allow me to make his eyes glow (LEDs) and his chest plate comes off allowing me access to his robotics units. He responds to audio and movement commands on my cell-phone (bracer mounted) via an app.

Personal Thoughts:

This was one of my very first cosplays... and of my favorite character no less. The helmet alone was a delightful challenge. I really wanted to make a Lucca costume that was "Lucca in real life" rather than just a carbon copy of the concept art.
