I've been working on this tutorial for a while since doing armor for my first time was such a rewarding experience! Hopefully this helps some of you out at some point or another!

Would a hair dryer work?

Wow, this is amazing, I've been looking for a way to make larger pieces of armor as well! Would this technique work for like a chest piece and shoulders, or leg armor?

I have a question: how thick is your foam, mine keeps flopping over and doesn't keep it's shape! D:

~MissCordie Mar 31, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Just the standard thickness, it's not very thick at all. Are you holding it until it cools? The sealant also helps harden it considerably.

~Azurimi Mar 31, 2013

Ah okay, I'll try holding it down till it isn't warm anymore! Thanks! ^^

Wow this is awesome thank you so much for making this. Btw I was curious for the example piece you used for this tutorial what method did you do to keep it on your bicep?

~MissCordie Dec 10, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

It's attached to an elastic band on the inside, pretty simple actually!

Did you make it smooth using the heat gun? Or are you just incredibly good and talented at that? 8I

~MissCordie Dec 10, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

It was smoothed using the combination of the heat gun and then careful hand molding so I wouldn't have any bumps. Also, the smaller the pieces you work with, the easier it is to keep it smooth!
