Description
It's Finally done!! This is the completed Torva Armor, from RuneScape.
Made from 16g steel, and some 22g (helmet and boots), some machine screws, a few pieces of tie-down strap, some chainmail, and about 12 cheap cat/dog collars for the buckles.
Took about 3-4 months to complete.
Final cost for materials... $548.00
Final weight...
Helm - 3 lb.
Body - 22.5 lb.
Legs - 19.5 lb.
Boots - 7 lb.
Chainmail - 31 lb.
Total (by itself, w/chainmail shirt) - 83 lb.
Total (without chainmail shirt) - 65.5 lb.
Total (worn, without chainmail shirt) - 192 lb.
(I rarely use the chainmail shirt, as it is very heavy, and hard to move with it on.)
EDIT: I totally forgot, but an enormous thanks goes out to Brio Wolf on RuneScape for posing in full Torva for me. I wouldn't have been able to see anything but the front otherwise, and the armor would not look as good as it does if not for him.

Indeed! Though, I think the 2nd suit turned out better

At first it looked like you used plastic, then I read that you used real metals. You are really skilled to make this armor! Great job and I hope to see more like this!

If the next RuneFest is in the US (or you find some way of getting your amazing creation elsewhere) you should really wear it as cosplay!

I certainly would. After watching RuneFest 3 on the livestream, I don't know how I could afford NOT to go, lol.

While it is still quite thin, this looks like it would serve as decent Armour against blunt objects. I really like the way you did the boots and that platebody. Dear god is that platebody awesome. Amazing work and congrads on the community round-up recognition!

Thank you.
Interesting that you think it to be thin. Traditional "knight" armor is normally 18g steel, so this is technically thicker. (It is however, un-tempered metal, so it might be softer.)

Ah, alright. Yeah, I see what you mean. A decent defense indeed and, of course, amazing looking!

It certainly is. Though, credit where it's due.
You have to admit, Jagex has some cool looking armor.

Thanks. I wanted to have dual drygores before Halloween, but that's probably not going to happen (anytime soon, that is ). I do want to make them, I just have other projects that need finishing first.
Also, I may attempt to make a TokHarr-Kal out of some cheap material that I already have... any ideas on how to get it to look like fire/lava under the plates?

Look on my profile...
I'm currently working on a suit of Bandos for a friend, but I'm thinking about taking a break and just making a Zamorak Godsword.

But wait, there's more!
RuneFest3 CosPlay Photo Competition
If you're sitting at home reading this in your favourite RuneScape CosPlay outfit and are peeved that you can't make RuneFest3 this year to take part, don't panic!
We're also holding a Cosplay photo competition for you too. Just send a photo of you in your RuneScape CosPlay outfit to competitions@jagex.com before October 21st with the title "Runefest3 CosPlay Photo Competition" and you could win an armful of RuneScape goodies.
If the photo competition is for you, then have a read of the photo competition rules:
- Your entry must be of you and not some random costume you've found on the internet
- Please only enter one CosPlay competition. So, if you're coming to RuneFest in your costume, please don't enter the photo comp. It's for CosPlay fans who can't make it RuneFest itself.
- A cardboard cut out of Alan's face to make an "Alan Costume" doesn't count.
