Finished mine today . It came out great! Can't wait till all my armor is done so I can take my final photo and send it. Thank you sooooo much!

@chriscryptid35 9 лет назад

I'm going to try the same thing with a thicker foam! I'd like to see how the different foam effects piecing it all together :) thanks for the awesome upload!

@epicfantasy 9 лет назад

Gentleman Peach You are very welcome, thanks for watching. I think a thicker foam would make for some really good armor.

@biscuitsyum8376 3 года назад

i find these videos very helpful cause it gives me ideas on how to make my dragon armor for next Halloween but i just have too questions 1) can i attach the shoulder piece to the armor? 2) when can you show us how to make armor from the waist down?( minus the shoes)

@alicegalicia8909 6 лет назад

Thank you for making this tutorial! I just completed a Roman soldier costume for a young relative and used your tutorial to make the breast plate. Much lighter and more flexible than cardboard!

@cristinad379 5 лет назад

Thank you for this entire playlist, Will! I'm making a Tamatoa (from Moana) costume for Halloween and figured armour was the only way to go about making it accurate. After a few weeks of stumbling around on RU-vid looking for tutorials, here I am! It's working out really well so far, and it's all thanks to you! Have a great day!

@kuneria 7 лет назад

yet another year your videos have SAVED my life. It's so weird how difficult it is to find a basic chest plate tutorial and template! great video, thanks

@epicfantasy 7 лет назад

A good chest plate has saved many a life :)

You are my go to guy!. I'm making a suit of armor for a St Joan of Arc costume . This is my 4th year dressing up at my church , and I always kill it! I will send pics as I complete each piece. Thanks for all your help.

@lianawalker2586 8 лет назад

this helped me out so much, in the process of making a chest chest armor and this by far has been the easiest and yet most affordable way to go.

@ISaidWhatWhatinThe 3 года назад

Sooooo.. I'm creating a project and I think this will help me figure out which direction to go... I love that the tutorial is so simple!!

@TheRunesmythe 9 лет назад

Very cool and the final look is very convincing. Even the seams down the middle are reminiscent if where they would bend and shape the steel plates during forging. The Templar's cross was a nice touch.

@epicfantasy 9 лет назад

TheRunesmythe Thankyou!

@MsCjbailey 9 лет назад

I found in Michael's craft store a roll of craft foam that would be perfect for the chest piece because you can just roll it out and put the whole pattern on the foam no seams to worry about/

This is exactly what I need to make the under-armor for the breastplate for my Mega Man Volnutt cosplay! Only alteration I'll need to do is change the hole for the head so it has a more cylindrical shape like Volnutt's armor has, then attach the breastplate to it.

@Snow-ds2ud 8 лет назад

Hi, thank you so much!! Can you make some suggestion on what one should do to so the foam armor can emulate the really anatomical curvature of real plate armor?

@hollyingraham3980 5 лет назад

Start with a simple sewing pattern a size too large so it will go on over clothing. Fold out any darts to remove them. That is, don't fold them to just the dart length shown. Fold it all the way across the pattern piece so it stays flat. Another reason for the larger size. Then extend the front sides to get overlap.

took some scrap metal locally, cut the templates out and copied it onto the metal. Cut those out, did some self improvisation and.. BAM real sheet metal breast plate, thanks mate

@epicfantasy 5 лет назад

Good work! Be careful with the edges of the metal. They can cut.

Hey Will, are you ever going to make a helmet out of craft foam? Like, a close helm.

@Akamaholic 9 лет назад

When you complete all of the armor pieces you should get a full body mannequin to display how all the armor would look together. Just a suggestion.

@epicfantasy 9 лет назад

Akamaholic Good idea.

@johnevergreen8019 7 лет назад

I know it's not quite the type of fantasy medieval/renaissance type stuff you do, however, I'd love to see your take on making a lightsaber hilt from piping and such, all the DIY hilts I've seen are too reminiscent of Darth Vader's or Anakin's. I'd love to see your design.

@epicfantasy 7 лет назад

Thanks, Good suggestion. So far I have done, using foam board, A light dagger and the Kylo Ren crossguard saber. Here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4QEbeTDqA4s.html ---- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u4tSjdIBf1I.html

@alisonlekarev2183 8 лет назад

Brilliant! My daughter has to play a soldier at the gun powder plot, for her school play, and I was going to make her a breastplate out of cardboard, but this will be much more comfortable for her to wear! Just need to change it slightly to make it look more early 1700's, and figure out how to make a Morion helmet to go with it. Thank you! :)

Can u make a video wearing all the armor

@8michelleh 5 лет назад

Great tutorial. Although I think if you based on the HISTORICAL cuirass, which is more like a dome, it will not only be more realistic, it would also have space for the feminine parts And look better.

Hey Will, I am making a kings guard costume from game of thrones and this chest piece is perfect. But i have some questions. I'm making mine out of 6mm foam and I was wondering if I can fiberglass over the foam. I also did not see a template on your website? I admire your videos so much, defiantly one of my favorite RU-vidrs. Your amazing, simple, cheap armor and weapon videos are so great. I am also starting a beginner blacksmithing channel called TheYoungSmith. Keep up the great work.
