How to Make Superhero chest armor out of Foam! I really wanted to have a generic chest armor template available so that people could customize it to make a variety of different characters like Batman, Gambit, Wolverine, and of course Red Hood. This chest armor is setup into modular pieces that can easily be customized to fit each individual maker. I do have free PDF templates of the chest armor available on my website if you’d like to make your own. In part 2 I will continue this build using panels for the back.
*** To Print Read This ****
To print the templates open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader (free version) then click “poster” in the page size settings that will scale the PDF properly over multiple sheets regardless of where you live or your paper size.

FAZ PRA VENDER??
Hi! Incredible work, I cannot wait to create this for myself! Also, I was wondering if you can make a batman-like shoulder armor tutorial that connects to the chest plate?
Very cool 😃
Suuuure wish you had the Red Hood helmet template to go with it lol it's my current build. and using this template for the chest and back. it's AMAZING!!!!
is there any alternatives to using a heat gun?
Get yourself some fiberglass sheets and epoxy resin and your safe up to a 44.
Question:
I'm wanting to cosplay the white Spiderman 2099 suit and wanted to know if you'd recommend your foam be used as the red armor details? Definitely don't want just a simple flat looking flexsuit😅
I am really bad at cutting angles (for beveled edges) into foam. Any tips or tools for how to consistently get the same angle on each foam piece?
hi SKS Props
I wanted to ask you a question.
I see that both in the video and in the pdf, you express yourself in millimeters (mm).
I wanted to know, the conversion in centimeters (cm) of how much it was, because I can not understand.
A thousand thanks.
truly amazing, love your work!
Proof that everything listens lmao I told my girlfriend I wanted to cosplay as red hood and this was what came up first when I looked up how to make chest armor
This video has been remarkably helpful, thank you so much. I do have 1 question though, what size paper should I use for the templates, because if I use A4 paper, I worry that it might be too small
Can you make costume of Batman The Dark Knight Rises please 🙏
Is it possible to use candidates instead of foam?
Major OG king of random vibes
I’m between this and the fallout design one of my friends challenged me too make it real once I get carbon fiber and Kevlar .
Your cuts are so neat. Great stuff, as always
Love this build, finally someone did a Batman style chest you can follow that looks awesome. Thanks! I'm gonna make a Dark Knight version off this I think.
whats the name for the material in spanish it translates to espuma but its not the same thing.
pls help!!
amazing
is the back coming out soon..?
Yo man could you make a Guts Berserk helmet i would love to make it myself but i dont know how to do it 🙏🏻
This is fire but isn’t that Batman not red hood
Wondering if anyone can point to a good trade show or con to go to for templates, fabrics, sewing supplies or other cosplay making supplies and ideas.
I would love if you could make fallout new vegas ranger armor helmet
Nice 👌
Very nice work! How do you advise going about this if you wanted the piece much smaller overall. I’ve been wanting to make something for my 4 year old.
Maybe do guts armor from berserk? 🙏🙏🙏
Would you do a female version?
Can you make new Gol D Roger hat from one piece
I wonder if you could use this for ironman?🤩
This is amazing! Thank you
Can you please do a Goblin Slayer Helmet build? I really like how you do your videos very informative
Muy Bonito esta la pechera de Red Hood el personaje favorito. Puedes hacer el casco? ó es muy dificil para Ti? …
This is just perfect for cosplaying tho, Im already in love by how u even show us how u guys made it too
We need a foam neck armor/ring to go with the redhood helmet or bat cowl. This chest piece is great
Think I might use for a punisher cosplay. Might just change some thickness. Take pics when I do my paper layout
Hello Sir! I wanted to tell you that I admire your work and the effort you put into these "constructions".
Recently I also got an attraction for this work.
If possible, a template for a bear mask(realistic one)?
