The Legs
As usual, I checked if I could use my EVA template for this part as I still had hope that it was not a complete waste of money, but it keeps disappointing me. I mean just look at it:

This does not even looks remotely like it should (size and scale is also wrong).
So I decided to print the pieces. I could have tried to cut them out of foam myself, but I just didn't feel like it. I simply prefer to work with 3D prints. The only problem is that I did not have any 3D files for the legs. There are no free files for this on the internet and I won't spend a 100$ on 3D files from Etsy or whatever.
So I designed the files myself. I have 3D model of the game as a base, but it is still a lot of work to make printable parts. I would not consider myself an expert in blender, but I think the files turned out fine. They could have more details, but this way it they are easier to sand and paint.

Sanding and painting was a LOT of work. It is is the first time that I took myself the time to cover the whole thing in putty to make them super smooth. I had some trouble painting. But after more work than expected the parts turned out fine:

One of the green colors, is unfortunately very scratch-prone and during assembly there were already quite a lot of scratches in the paint (see the left picture). So these are the first parts of my cosplay that I applied clear coat to.
It somehow completely changes the shade of the green. Just compare the left with right photo. In the middle is my failed print which I used to test the clear coat on. It lays directly on the uncoated part and it is hard to believe the same color was used.
I am not sure if I like the resulting color. But I guess I had to add clear coat for durability anyway. I probably will have to add clear coat to the other parts as well, so they all look the same

When I bought the mannequin, I never thought I would get to the point where I would need legs 
. I bought a hanger for my torso. But the legs are too short to really attach the pieces. I will add some straps to the torso for the attachment.
At the moment I still have to hold the pieces up with my hands:

This was probably the most time consuming part of my cosplay yet. It took me about a whole month to design, print and paint all 16 pieces, but I like how my skills and quality improve over the time. I learned a lot regarding 3D design in Blender (especially to save backups because Blender crashes a lot ).
It also gives you a complete different feeling when you print parts that you designed yourself.
Next Up
I am currently working on the rest of the leg aka the boots, but I do not have anything interesting to show yet, I basically only printed the knee pad.
