Stapping was all pretty routine, lots of stretchy stuff and velcro. then i sew'd the craft foam frame around the quilted area, trimmed the edges of the fabric and hot glued it down. i took 2 layers of that mesh and 1 layer of plain black fabric and sew'd the lines into it. pretty easy.įirst i removed the texture side of the EVA foam because its the biggest pain when heat forming the foam, also i wanted them slightly thinner then they were. not sure the pic is clear enough, but the texture was meant to look like leather, crumple tin foil up and iron in the wrinkles. the "rivets" are nail heads that I cut off the ends and hot glued in place. the paint pattern was cut out of masking tape like a stencil and sponged onto it. Left: The little recessed deta dremel'd in. these were so easy, they took 1 night each to make. the black is actually the texture side of my EVA foam i shave it off pieces with my band-saw and re-glue it to add detail.Īll i have is the finished pic of the knee pads. the wires are just stripped housing electrical wires that i shoved into the box. The electrical looking box thing int he pic on the right was roughly patterned and put together, it took some patience to get the curve right so that it sat on the shoulder nicely. the detailed were also pattern in paper before getting cut out of foam. Same with everything else, patterned, cut, glued and shaped with a heat gun to get the nice bell shape. Heres what it looks like after painting in its current state: blue was airbrushed on, silver was hand painted. the black is a mesh, its the kind they use for padding on backpacks. Grey is 1/2" foam, blue is 2mm craft foam. sanding the sides down, beveling, and adding some detail. Trace those to foam, cut it out and shape it with a heat gun. The patterns for the arm braces and knee pads were made quickly just my taping paper to my arm and drawing the shape i wanted.
To make the foam easier to shape with my heat gun I sanded off quite a bit of the texture side of the foam so its thinner and more malleable. the pattern pic above are my final pieces that worked for me.Īlso, being the busty girl that I am made getting the shape more difficult than it would be for boys and flatter chested girls. I made the chest plate twice because my first pattern was super disappointing and didn't give me the shape I wanted.
I live in canada and cant get Barge at a decent price so I used Lepage heavy duty, It's been working pretty well so far.Īdding maker lines to match up on both pattern pieces will make the final piece way closer to the original shape you're going for. I traced the armor pattern that I just made onto my EVA floor mats and glued the pieces together using contact cement, I've used hot glue before and I don't like how I feel rushed to put it together and then having to hold both sides together as it dries, I find its too fast and too slow at the same time :/ so contact cement works wonderfully as long as you actually let it dry before attaching the sides together.
I don't have many pics of this process but its pretty easy to explain so. Tape to clean paper patterns, all i do to clean them up is make curves more uniform and lines straighter :įrom those new paper patterns I made a muslin out of old bed sheets and tweeked the pattern accordingly and the final pattern pieces are all done.

also, when cutting the tape form off of you make sure you add registration so that you can tape is back together properly. Starting with mummifying myself with masking tape and cling wrap Here's a sketch I did of the colors I'll be using.
I'll do my best to explain what I've done so far. I didn't take many pictures up until now. Originally i wasn't going to post this build.
