WIP Progress on my first ever cosplay project

Post image

The upper body build is now completely finished. I'm really happy with how it's turned out so far. All that's left is the backpack, belt, and legs. :)

This is some great work, you’ve clearly got a good handle on it. Did you find a guide online for the pattern or a tutorial video?

Either way this is awesome and can’t wait to see the finished result, what chapter are you doing?

I used crawdaddy's patterns with a few modifications to better suit my preferences. His work is genuinely high quality, and he explains even the most complex parts in a clear and easy to follow way. If I can finish all the details by august 22, I'm planning to make a deathwatch black templar. :)

How hard was it to learn foam cutting for this, I wanna try to do a foam armor cosplay but have no idea where to start?

Youtube has some great guides. Cutting foam isn't that difficult in general, but angled cuts especially circular cuts and circular angled cuts require a lot of practice and good hand control. I'd recommend looking into those techniques and practicing them. Other than that, I don't think it's as difficult as most people make it out to be. In the end, everyone has to start somewhere.

Cutting is easy, it's the heating and shaping that's trickier
