What a nice comment! My goal is always to make instructions that are as complete and concise as possible, so it's good to hear!

Complete suit in 30min tutorial that was clear, concise and yet entertaining, [the family inclusion was a lot of fun too!]. I think this video ticks all the boxes for 'perfect' content - an award winner if ever there was a competion for such things...and having a suit of armour would be handy in a competitive environment too! Cheers Chris.

I would also suggest everyone to observe or create an historical 15th century plate armor of your choice (English, German, Italian) but out of foam. There are patterns for it. It taught me a lot of armor making which helped me a lot to create fantasy ones too.

Thank you Chris I’m hopefully going to an event this September that has a knight theme and I’ve been hoping that you would drop this soon so I could make this and blow peoples minds. Now I just need to print and assemble. I can’t wait 😁

Really cool design, just wish it was free

This is a brilliant kit! The patterns are great and instructions simple to follow!! I am going to have to wait for the larger pattern though as this didn't quite fit my son - the breast plate didn't reach the back plate. But I had fun making it and will keep it in a kit for loaner wear. Thank you so much!!

Thanks for your feedback, I'd love to get an idea of the dimensions of your son, so I can get a feel for the other sizes I need to make, feel free to email me at lostwaxozcontact@gmail.com if you have the time. Another possible quick fix is just to add a strip on the sides of the back plate as well as at the shoulders so it will fit a larger size.

It boggles my mind to see how well you can make a convincing suit of armour from these foam sheets. I think I'll have to figure out how to adapt this methodology to make my own suit of Ned Kelly armour.

This is the most beautiful thing I haven't watched 😍😍😍 I'll edit this later when I finish watching it.

It's finally here!

steller work, I absolutely adore how accessible your content is. I would love to see more of everything armor related. A more feminine breastplate, maybe a more historic full plate breastplate with the pointy chest, a way to add gauntlets that goes over the vambrace (gotta protect those fingers), anything really. also this video came out the day I went to my local Renaissance Festival (perhaps my last one at this location ;-; ) so this video feels like a sign. I've been wanting to make a set of super weathered full plate with a skull mask inside the helmet as like a death knight sort of vibe

Very cool, and I appreciate how unintimidating you make it look. I make paper mache sculptures, and I currently have one of a gorilla that, on all fours, is about 22'" tall to the top of the head. I bring him around to different businesses, and I have friends who make different 'costumes' for him, depending on the business (ie: workout clothes at the gym, bib overalls at the farm store). I was thinking about making a suit of armor for him, to display at our local gaming store, and wondered how one could design a pattern for something so awkwardly sized and shaped. I would use 2mm foam for everything.

At last! An affordable way of doing King Arthur and The Knights of the Round Table on stage without having to set it in the Dark Ages! I'm just having visions at the moment of huge armies of knights!!!

I love this, but, one suggestion, for the lames, both on the stomach and the tassels, you should try attaching them with strips of elastic (or foam if you're feeling fancy), similar to historical examples, so that you have more mobility

Looks good! Is the reason u don't use any primer on the foam to keep a rougher texture so it looks more like worn metal?
