- As seen during PlaidFX Con 2020!
Join me as I walk through how to create an armored breastplate out of EVA foam from start to finish. We'll be learning how to:
1) Create a breastplate pattern from scratch
2) Build the breastplate from EVA foam
3) Prime and paint the breastplate
4) Add decoration and weathering

Thank you! Can't believe this video doesn't have more views. This is the perfect tutorial I need to create a medieval breastplate. Great work!❤
So glad it was helpful! Thanks so much!
This is so clear! I am going to stick this in my costume class as a project option for my students. They get to pick projects most weeks between options that teach similar skills. I've been looking for some foam armor piece tutorials and this is so straightforward it would be really close to impossible to get confused (as beginning students do). Thanks so much for posting this terrific resource!
Omg what a compliment, thank you so much and I'm glad you found it helpful!
@@cocoasugarcosplay8078 Thank YOU for making a succinct, clear video that anyone can understand and follow, that doesn't use a lot of difficult or insanely expensive to find stuff, and which fits into that sweet spot between total beginner and medium level project. So many tutorials are either way too basic and boring for a beginning college student to want to do, or too advanced for them to be able to handle. It also helps that you look like one of my college students, instead of being (like me) as old as their grandmother.
I have recently discovered the joy of making cosplay items and have watched countless videos on the topic. Yours are the clearest and most practical tutorials that I have found! Keep up the good work!
This was INSANELY helpful in soothing my nerves of an upcoming armor project as a beginner! Great work!

Thanks so much and I appreciate the support!
Incredibly helpful, using this to help me get started with my first cosplay with foam armour :)
Thank you! I really love your video! You explained everything so good and easy, that I'm not afraid anymore to start at my own breastplate the next days! ~
I'm so excited to see your process laid out in one full video! I always love watching you work on things in your insta stories and I've picked up so many things I wouldn't have thought of otherwise! I'm so excited to see the rest of this build, this was a fantastic tutorial!
Thank you! You're such a great teacher ^ ^ I look forward to seeing more of your work!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it - thanks so much!

How are you able to take this on and off since you glued the Velcro onto each other
To underrated
How thick eva foam you used and what paint for eva foam?
What do you use to heat eva foam? And the object to round the ends? Thank you
I use a heat gun normally to heat mine, and a dremmel sander to round out the ends ☺️👍🏾
y como se lo puso🙄
It’s Velcro- just opened and closed the Velcro closure you see me adding in the video. 👍🏾
