Forum:I want to cosplay as a Darknut. How should i do that?

so, i've always loved Darknuts, they (in my opinion) are the coolest, and most badass enemies in the entire series!!! my favorite version of the Darknut is from Twilight Princess, the most awesome Zelda game EVER!!!!! (also in my opinion)

anyways, i want to go to sakura-con this year, and i want to be a Darknut. how should i go about doing this? i'm thinking about using paper mache and tin sheeting for the armor, but i'm debating whether i should dress up as the second form of the Darknut and put velcro on the back of my armor (just in case a Link cosplayer can somehow kick my ass).

What do you guys think? i await your feedback patiently and eagerly! thank you very much!
