Armour Update

Just got this started, found the foam boards in JJB sports (Forestside) for 14.99. They're interlocking foam weightlifting mats.


While in the tutorial, Click Zach went for a very bulky, futuristic, functional look, I'm going for a more streamlined look based on feudal Japanese Samurai

I measured out the chest pieces for the armour Taking care to make sure it will measure up correctly to my chest, it is recommended you use templates to check first but i'm lazy. (and nearly payed the price for that as initially the two pieces didn't quite match up).


Tomorrow i'll try moulding these to the shape of my chest using a heat gun (apparently a hair dryer also works).

Don't know if this will make it into a film, would hope so. With luck at least it means i'll actually have a costume to go in at sci-fi events. Nobody wants to be the dude dressed as himself, sitting in the corner while all the Captain Scarlet's are mixing with the S.H.A.D.O girls.
