Okay, quick update. I've gotten to the point where I have sealed and painted some armor pieces. The shoulder pieces are almost done. I just have one more section I have to figure out. But the pauldrons and spaulders are in a good place. The chest pieces is pretty much done. I still have to add the strapping and connections for the straps but I'm in no hurry. So my camera ate the pictues and video I took. :P I'll have post how the painting went.

I've been working on and off with armor pieces for the past few weeks. Mostly cutting out the foam pieces and making plans. Here's the progress of various pieces. Chest: (see video) Cut out of foam. Ready for sealing Helmet: Experimenting. As you can see I'm making it up as I go. But I think I'm getting closer. My Hair dryer does make a decent heat gun for thin foam...although...it's still hard to make it hold that shape. :P Collar: Needs to be cut Spaulders:  These just need sealing and paint before being put onto fabric. Shoulders: (pic) This is giving me the most trouble right now. Trying to form the correct shape out of foam is surpisingly difficult. Here are some of my failed experiments. Thicker Foam Frame: It didn't make the shape right. (pic) Cardboard frame: CLOSE but not quite. (pic) Thin foam guide shape: I'm getting somewhere! (pic) FINAL THOUGHTS. The big issue is Buckling. What I have to do is make trianglar cuts in...
