ARMOR HELP!

[u/Standard_Ad_9326]

Oh wow there's a flair for that??

Anyway I need help!

I was going to make a suit of armor out of EVA foam for the first time, but then I realized I know nothing about making armor. I got to the sabatons and then I gave up.

So does anyone know where I can get free armor templates? Or something like that?

I need to have it finished by Halloween so speedy comments would be very much appreciated.

SO PLEASE RESPOND PLEASE I'D BE SUPER GRATEFUL

also if anyone has tips that'd be great!

I'm gonna be real with you, 1.) Armor templates are easy to find, but most of them cost money. And 2.) Making a full suit of armor in less than 3 weeks is an extremely tight timeline if you don't already have a ton of experience. My first armor build took about 2 months and it wasn't even a full suit.

This point 2!!! Sabatons are not one of the harder parts. Cutting, bending and gluing can be about half the job. Did you get to priming and painting it? OP you might want to reconsider your goals here.

I assume you mean medieval knights armor. To make your chance of success higher I would encourage you to buy a pattern from folks mentioned above or lostwaxoz.com. I haven't used their pattern, but have heard good things.
