Swooping is bad

soda cans! CLEAN SODA CANS!
made template of the right size and cut out

This is Patina stains metal real good, great for weathering.


Right so we started working on a new costume for the boyfriend, what two days ago and I'm happy with the progress we are making. So with this project I get to use the soda cans (which I LOVE) it is such a cheap and easy way to add the metal plates to the armor.

All the armor has a cardboard base because cardboard is free and we are working off of a tight budget. Brown craft foam then has been weathered to look like leather (using the tin foil technique)  and then I glued on each metal plate and added the fake rivet marks.

Right now we have all the waist armor done it just needs to be strapped up and fitted, also need to go purchase some cheapo belts from savers for this outfit.
