Ok, my final Bahamut pic for a while (at least until I improve on it!) This is a really nice close up of the costume to see some of the detail (and flaws, but guess thats no surprise!) - plus love the colours against the background and the depth in the shot!
Unfortunately yes, quite heavy - I did what I could to keep the weight down (so its mostly foam or cardboard, and the structure of the wings is aluminium which is light and strong) but the sheer scale of it means that its heavy - plus the stilts are wooden so its even heavier to walk in! Shall have to weigh it at some point!
